backflip
by matt on 2000-11-07| this move is most easily executed by jumping up as you swing your arms back in a circle, then laying your body parrelel with the ground. now complete the circle with your arms and grab the backs of your legs. pull (as you kick) them up as close to your head as possible. if done properly, your feet will hit. the hardest part is overcoming the fear of flipping backward which can be overcome through backhandsprings. |
tips
by flemm on 2001-01-08when doin backflip:
1) jump hard high
2) move your knees close to ya chest
3) swing ya hands hard |
question on backflip
by Anonymous on 2001-01-30when i am about to do a backflip i get nervous and fear falling on my back or head... do u know of a good place to practice... is grass sutible.. please repond..
thanku |
re to quest
by flemm on 2001-01-31| if u can do back handsprings then don't worry much. try to do a flip, when u fail your hands will catch u, so u don't fall on your head. and try the backflip into the pool, or from a lil higher thing like from chair or box to a soft surface. or let your partner help u, let him like carry u, when he puts his hands on your back, so u can't fall.. |
flemm is right
by matt, the tkd freak on 2001-02-04| flemm is absolutely right, but its even easier then that! only worry about touching your hands and rolling down your stomach. this is closer to a backflip and if you are using a hanmdspring as backup, you will tend to "chicken out" into a handspring. anyway, if you tuck up, you'll be alright on grass. |
back flip
by lee odom on 2001-02-08| To do one without your hands is to flip back hands in the air like you are about to swing on a bar and throw your legs over |
question
by Anonymous on 2001-03-06| when tucking, do you grab the back of the knees, or front? what's easier? |
Question
by Timmy on 2001-03-24| How do you land on your feet everytime, instead of on your knees or stomach? |
landing on your feet
by darthkata on 2001-04-08| the key to landing on your feet as opposed to landing on your knees, gut, head, etc, is execution. Without proper execution, the trick will fail. To do the back flip correctly, you should jump straight up as HIGH as you can, with your arms lifting straight up over your head, NEVER backwards. At the peak of your jump, pull your knees over your head. DO NOT grab your knees as this will counteract your lift from the jump and only serve to put your head closer to the ground! Keep your head in a neutral position, NOT looking backwards. The jump and arm lift will provide the height you need; a quick, hard pull of your knees over your head will provide the rotation. If you are landing on your knees or worse, then start by trying to improve your take off jump. Height and body position are the key. Make sure your back stays straight during the entire trick. At no time should your back arch (bend backwards). This is also easier learned with a trained spotter to provide extra lift or rotation until you get the hang of it on your own. |

Backflip kick
by Vinnie on 2001-04-16This is the same move done on StreetFighter by Guille. The way you do this is that you run forward but not too fast though if ya running too fast you'll lose momentum!!! And end up throwing yourself and collapse your entire body! and you might be end up crushing hand it's happened to me before and I couldn't do windmill, turtle, or even handstand!!) , try to imagine yourself kicking the soccer ball on the right leg, launch your hands and legs and your body up, and then grap your legs(once you grap your legs so you end up tucking your legs to your chest! The more you tuck your body the more u get high!!!!) as if you are doin' backflip, is that clear??
Some people was wondering how can the legs goes up?? Well my answer is that you have to kick! all momentum its came from you legs and. Meantime you are in the mid air try to imagine yourself as if you are doin' backflip by grapping your legs, that's it.~
TO Overcome with F E A R!!!!, normally I scared to do this GAINER cuz I run forward and throw my legs up, Do you know how can I overcome with fear????
Because I was thinking about doin' backflip Try it!! it'll work!.
One more thing! Don't freak your body out in the midair(just keep you body tight and tuck your kneed to your chest), or else you'll collapse your body!.

Tips for Learning backflips
by Johnny on 2001-04-20| A good place to practice these is at the beach or the dunes. Number one, landing in soft sand doesn't hurt - at all. Number two, if you can pull it off while jumping out of the sand (which is VERY difficult because sand shifts and displaces under weight) then you'll be able to do it on a hard surface with ease. Also, when rotating throw your arms back AS you jump. This will give you extra rotation (a good tuck is very important as well.) Another good habit to get into is to look back - without turning your head. Your body will follow your head, and if you're looking back you'll see the ground sooner and be able to judge your landing. |
Backflip on sand
by Mike on 2001-04-21| Johnny is absolutely right. sand is a good training ground. it is even easier for a beginner to practice on a dune standing on top (edge) with your back to the descent and launch of...landing a little lower than you started. this gives you more room. you can even do a phat launch backwards landing a about 2 or 3 meters behind you with a backarch (good for spectators). but you don't want to get into that habbit, because you really want to tuck when doing it on a flat surface. |
ankle concern
by Mike on 2001-04-21I have problems with my ankles from hitting the toeside up very hard on landing injuring my already weak ankle.
Does anybody have any tips for a good landing when practicing on hard ground. |
Question
by Anonymous on 2001-05-11| I've never tryed to do a back flip before cause i always chikened out in midair any tips on how to overcome the fear of falling on your head |
tip
by CrazyMofo on 2001-05-20it is easyer to do an arab spring into a full backflip with out using your hands because you already have the speed and momentum of the rotation,and also keep your eyes open so you can see the floor this will help to land on your feet.
P.S. DONT GIVE UP |
learn how to do a back flip
by Jorge Sosa on 2001-05-23
. . . .
by matt on 2001-06-13ive just learned a new form for backflipping which can be done with nearly no effort. the key is speed. you start off like any other backflipbut kinda up on your toes. you get your spring from the calves.bend your knees but not too much, somewhere around 120 degrees is good. swing your arms back and then up very quickly and as you jump, grab your now straightened legs almost sweeping them out from under you. your legs should remain sraight but pulled up at least to be perpendicular with your body.if executed quickly enough you will land back on your feet with a backflip that will blow away your friends' flips. this can also be used to break boards and is even quick enough to pop balloons held lightly on one end.

Back Tuck
by Shandra on 2001-07-15Hello, I am Shandra and i have been a tumbler for about 6 years. I self taught myself most of my skills and recently for the 3rd time started taking lessons.
Back Tuck. most preparation skill should be practiced on a Tumbl Trak or a trampoline.
first work on timers. What is a timer? Its when u jump straight up and bring your knees up to your face.
after times complete the turn.
jump straight up tuck your knees in and stare at something straight ahead until your knees take control and flip you over. your back should not be arched at all. your head should not swing back. it should remain tucked in.
hope this helps
e-mail me for questions comments

Arm Trouble
by AB on 2001-08-08| Is it possible when doing a backflip and you land on your hands that your arm might bend and break because of the weight of your body even if your lightweight? |
bones can break
by CrazyMofo on 2001-08-15hey ab you can break bones doing all these tricks but i doubt you will by doing a back hand spring cuz if you do it properly your hands shoulde be holding up that much weight..it is more likely to break your arm doin a hand stand..
thanx |
????
by BBoy Twisted Dezire on 2001-08-31| which can be learned in a shoter amount of time back handspring, or back flip? |
Names
by Dean Trickz on 2001-09-08In all the gyms I train at in London UK, a "backflip" is what you guys would call a "back handspring". A full backwards rotation in the air most people call a "back somersault" or "tuck back" or "straight back" ,etc.
Just thought id mention it. ha |

Fear can be a problem
by Wooby_Dooby on 2001-10-15I learned to backflip on a trampoline, taught by a friend of mine who is very good at it. I learned to do it, then for some reason I lost the nerve - I got psyched out in mid air every time I tried it. Then a month later, I could do it again. Then I lost it again. I know how to do it, I know that I have done it, and that I can do it, I'm just a wimp. ^_^

Easy
by Chaos on 2001-12-27| I learned back-handsprings first. Two friends faced each other with joined hands and ducked down a little. All you have to do is clear their arms. I lost it for a while after that. If you want to get used to flipping backwards, practice in a pool. I just learned how to do a backflip. I got up the nerve to try one off something a little off the ground. After seeing how easy it was, I tryed it off higher obstacles... I got so used to the sensation that when I went to back-handspring one day, I just did it... and now its easy for me. Right now I'm trying to learn to do a wall flip as soon as I get up the courage... |

backhandspring
by lic gymnast on 2002-06-11| if u can do a fronthandspring then you can do a backhandspring. 1 reason is that a fronthandspring takes more strength and its harder to land then a backhandspring. get a thick matress and try to overcome the fear, once u could get ur hands to touch the ground in a backhandspring u basically got it down, then u have to learn rounding off into it. |

Back Flips
by Tony on 2002-06-17| I know that when everyone tries to do a backflip, the fear factor kicks in. An easy way to deafeat this is to not think of the flip. Instead of acting after you think, do it before. Just go, and when you do think, u will be back on the ground! |

PARHAM!
by Catherine on 2002-09-25the easiest way to take the pain away is to land on your toes, or rather, the balls of your feet, and roll the pressure away from this area into the back of the foot. Do this by shifting your weight toward your heel once you land on your toes, then spring upward from the balls of your feet. This bouncing helps you to lessen the stress of the impact pressure on your ankles. (Trust me, I used to have that problem-I didn't learn this until it stopped botherine me!)
Hope I helped!
Please respond! |

BackFlips
by Duff Man on 2002-10-17| Can I Get A Step By Step Guide On BackFlips? |
Ok, here's how you do it guys...
by Darth Maul on 2002-10-18Ok, I've been in gymnastics for a long time and I did just about every single wrong thing you can do before I learned how to do this correctly. I'll give you a sectional guide on how to do it correctly, and a few tips it's quite important that you read the tips, there's quite a bit of important things in there.
Part I: Step by Step Instructions.
1. Start in a standing position.
2. Jump straight up in a stretch jump.
3. When you reach at least very close to the peak of your jump, pull your knees over.
4. Land.
Part II: Tips.
1. It's very important that you jump straight up.
2. Do not throw your head back, this will cause your whole body to go almost straight back, like in a backhandspring. It is very important that you do NOT throw your body back. If you do, (unless you have a FREAKISHLY high jump) your tuck will not only not look good, but you might not even land it.
3. I first learned this trick by picturing someone behind me that I wanted to kick.
4. A lot of this trick is just mental, try picturing a very short wall behind you. You want to jump straight up and then rotate over the wall and land on the other side.
5. I STRONGLY reccomend that you have someone who really knows what he or she is doing spot you at least the first few times. Also, try practicing this trick on a large trampoline if you have access to one. Try bouncing first, then start doing it standing.
6. Have fun! Don't wear yourself out doing this and most importantly, don't get hurt.
Good luck! I hope this helps.

backflip?
by b-boy Ryce on 2002-10-23| learning a backflip can be dangerous.In order to a backflip you need to overcome the fear of landing on your head,knee,ect.When you first try it do it on a bed not in a jumphouse because you need to learn how to do it without jumping up and down.First put your arms infront of your face and be straight.Next swing your arms in the air and kick your legs to your face when you feel that weird thing in your boby that your about to fall thats a signal to backtuck.After that happens you'll land it. |

backflip fear
by BACKFLIPPER on 2002-11-18Anyone who can backflip will agree with me that the best way to overcome the fear is to just suck it up and try it. And the best place to learn is on a mattress. The longer you are scared the less chance you have of doing it.
|
I agree with BACKFLIPPER
by Chaos on 2002-11-20| you just have to get over it and do it... and once you get it... don't stop because if you remain dormant for a long time, you'll lose your edge and have that fear again. That's where I stand now... getting over that initial fear again. In fact, I think I'm about to go outside and try it again. |

how you do a backflip
by backflipper on 2002-12-18to do a backflip you have to have no fear.After that it helps to be athletic and being able to do front handspring which is harder because it requires more strength.To backflip jump as high as you can when your first learning and spin round and land on your knees.This help get the feel of going round.Then work on putting in your knees and landing on you feet.

advise to keith ////////////////////
by ausgymnast on 2003-01-19i have been doing backflips for about 3 years. i hope my advise helps
on your tramp can you do it from bounce or from absolute normal standing?
if you can from absolute normal standing then you should probably be able to accomplish it.
the main thing tho if you feel confident then go for it because chances are you will make it
****also****
this will help alot
try to do it on somthing like sand, or long grass or even on a gym matt if you have access to one
that will insure that you will be able to get the move without the fear,- and then when you get confident you can do it on normal things.....
good luck(altho you dont really need it)

Back flip is easi
by Misha on 2003-01-24| Hey Im a gymnast and Ive been doin it for 5 years.I can do backflip on absolutely anything.Im 11 years old but trust me im good.Im 2 time NZ champion. I cant do 360 backflip yet.But im learning.Listen to my pal aus gymnast.He has been doin it more than me.Thy to look straighte foward and during your take off jump as high as you can.Do not move your shoulders to your knees.Move your knees as fast as you can and you will get more rotation.If you are scared it will decrease your ability by 20 percent.So be calm and picture yourself doin it.If your gettin stressed sit down and consentrate for a while.Take off at the same time as you throw your hands over your head.Just trust me.It will work. |
Backflip/Flash Kick tumbling
by Anonymous on 2003-01-25I've been landing back handsprings, backflips and flash kicks from doing roundoffs into them. It seems that I get a lot of momentum and people say I get at least 4 feet off the ground.
The only problem is, without the momentum, I'm unable to do these flips (except the handspring) from a standstill. I'll try to use the tips given here, but if anybody is wondering, perhaps momentum from tumbling can get you your flips first.
Another thing, I got my flash kick (where the legs are apart) BEFORE my back tuck and even still my back tuck isn't very light on the landing like my flash kick. It seems unorthodox that I'd get the flash kick before the back flip... I guess I have to learn to tuck more. |
unorthodox

|
Hey Keith...
by Darth Maul on 2003-01-31| Ok, here's what you do Keith. Throw your arms straight up, not back. Jump straight up and tuck at the top. Sort of like you're going to kick someone behind you. If you have access to a trampoline, try that. Get it on the trampoline by bouncing then flipping. Once you master that, do it from a stand still. Once you do that, try it from a mat and once you get that, do it on grass. The most important thing is not to let yourself freak out. I promise you that if you screw up somehow, it will not hurt hardly at all if you follow through anyway. Just decide you're going to do it and then, without a doubt in your mind, do it. You CAN do it! |

NOT EASY, BUT YOUR CAPABLE OF IT NO MATTER HOW TALL FAT OR THIN
by Brooke on 2003-02-02Tips on How to do a Back Tuck
I've been reading around on different websites, and I've figured out some tips. After I write these down, I'm going to go try it and see if it works. I'll tell you the results. Here are the tips:
When you first start, try jumping high as you can. Just think of something really horrible (Like Osama BinLaden, rest in hell you son of a@#$%^) Then just jump as high as you can, swinging your arms straight up, and locking them. To jump high, you should start in a slightly bent position, with either arm in sync with either knee. Try starting in this position and then going up into a straight stand like twenty times. You'll build muscle and power the more times you do it. Then you should try jumping like this, twenty times every day, getting angry, and getting high in the air. Then, after you get as high in the air as you think you going to go, start from a elevated position. But don't make it TOO HIGH or when you make the rotation you'll fall on your rear. You should also have someone right next to the SHORT chair, or whateva you're going to use, so that they can help you out if things get ugly, or just push your knees over if you get to close to the ground. You should first try this in sand, with the SHORT Chair (* make sure that the chair like doesn't have such a back that it'll interfere with your feet when you jump). You'll probably land on your knees, which won't hurt, because soft sand is like pillows, or you'll land on your butt which means you need to get a shorter chair, or just start from a standing. And don't over rotate. Once you've succeeded from a chair, try something flat on the ground so that the sand won't interfere with you jumping capabilities. Jump hard, think of the bastard Sedam Hussein, and just pull your knees over. Remember, have someone next to you to push your feet over. Once you can do that without a spotter, and land lightly and comfortably, try it on sand with a spotter. Once you can do that without a spotter, you can do it anywhere, cause sand is hard to jump from.
To make it more impressive, try jumping like uphill so that you'll get more power when you're on flat land.
*MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT WHEN THEY HAVE A CHAIR TO JUMP FROM, THEY DON'T NEED TO TRY AS HARD. BELIEVE ME, YOU DO! TRY YOUR HARDEST!
Remember, ANGER, Jump, swing, and land!
CHEERS! |
I'm gonna try it
by Brooke on 2003-02-02Next week I'll tell ya if this theory works. remember, be careful because you can't trust anyone on the web, so like get some gym videos or somethin'.
Cheers. |
QUESTIONS
by Anonymous on 2003-02-05| i can get a rotation, but everytime i attempt a backflip, i always land on my hands then knees. i know that im not getting a fast enough rotation... but how do you get momentum?? im told to jump straight up, but how are you supposed to go backwards if youre going straight up? how do you even turn? is it all about bringing your knees to your chest.. is that it? |
. . . .
by AZul on 2003-02-08| You can try kicking your leg towards your head harder to gain momemtum. |
think...
by AZul on 2003-02-08you can try this to boost your guts before trying the backflip...
quarrel with your girlfriend so that you feel that you want to die.
mess up your room so that you feel you want to die rather then hear your mother nag...
nice way to boost your guts...

backhandsprings
by Matt on 2003-02-16| before doing a backhandspring on the ground,practice on a trampoline.once you get the hang of it, have someone spot you.If you think you can do it on your own practice on something soft.If you can do it but one of your arms is given out,keep doing it on a trampoline until your arm is straight when flipping.if you live in Mastic,Shirley,Moriches,or Manorville,visit the karate school by Movieland in Mastic.It is called World Karate Academy.there are about 5 people that can do backhandsprings and backtucks. |

by Pitbull on 2003-02-24| Hi, I can do a front handspring, a front flip, and am now currently starting a back handspring. I can't do it on a matress. I've heard its easier to do it on grass, but I'm afraid I'll land and break my wrist or something, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO???? |

TO VINCE......YES!!!!!!
by Nishbuk on 2003-03-03If you can do it on two mattresses, if will definetly be easier on solid ground....IF you can get over the fear factor. I would still suggest trying it on mats or grass first, before you try it on a tile floor or wood floor
NO FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

mattresses
by vince on 2003-03-10| I can do a backtuck really easy on one mattress now, like every time, and I know the technique really well, can I do it in the grass or on mats? PLEASE HELP. |

by DRUNKEN MASTER on 2003-03-11| Its easier to do on grass mats or concrete when you know how to do them so yes. |

bad landings
by some random gy on 2003-03-14hey. i've never done a backflip in air before...i want to learn how to do 'em on solid ground so I could do them while bodyboarding...anyway, i've done 'em a bajillion times in my head (it helps a bunch, believe me...when you're not flippin' do 'em in your head and you'll get good) but my issue is that i don't think i'll be able to land flat on my feet. i see myslef landing still in tuck and hitting toes first.
so what if i do one and totally screw the landing??? any ideas on how NOT to die if you are going to have to bail in the flip? i've done front flips on mats and stuff but backs seem like they should be easier to do becuase you don't have to rotate as far to land it. any ideas???
