Backflip or fakieflip?

For me static backflips and fakieflips are easier than forwards
backflips.

I found fakiebacks harder because I can't ride backwards very well. I
learnt them static, and then learnt them rolling, and then fakie.

Riding forward, then backflip is easy as a fakieflip to me.

I learned fakie backs first because you can use your riding momentum and
its easier that way. Then I learned them static. Then I did rolling and
a prehop into the backflip then I got prehop away. I had my backflips
100% consistant and I could do them from riding forward as fast as I
can but then I switched to 140 cranks and it got messed up and now I am
riding 110s and that is strange too.

Same here, I learned to do fakieflips before backflips but I suck at
both so don't take advice from me. :p

It depends, lol. If you are domant forward flipping. Fakieflips should
be easier (also depending on your backwards skills). After fakieflips
it goes to static flips usually, then riding slowly forward to
basically static backflip, then just keep practicing until they are
flowy. If you are not forward flipping domant (then this will be your
first flip trick, lol) most likely just learn them rolling forward.
