The first legal backflip in 1976. Worth reading. Unfortunately, we tend to forget about someone who was a unique skater. His name is Terry Kubicka. He may not have been the most artistic skater, but he was exceptional. He became the first for a very long time and only skater to perform a legal backflip. (1976) Less remembered is his ability to land five of the six triple jumps (except the Axel). In comparison, the gold medalist (John Curry) landed only three triple jumps in winning his Olympic g
