Question

Answer 1

I am self taught on both the front flip and backflip - Without injury so far!!

Sorry but the best thing to use to learn how to do a backflip or frontflip is the trampoline. If you cannot do one on the trampoline I seriously suggest NOT trying one.

If your going to try a front flip onto a mattress, go ahead. If you mess up your going to land on your back on the mattress. This will probably not hurt much, On the other hand if your going to try a backflip you could land on your head and cause yourself serious injury. Just make sure you can do it before you do it.

Answer 2

In the mid 1980's I learned to do a frontflip and a backflip without any help or spotters.  The backflips led to a good concussion and a very stiff neck, and I broke my seft thumb twice on the frontflip by landing on it.

The purpose of my life may be to serve as a warning to others.  Good luck.

Oh i want to learn them too also i want to know how to do a roundoff and cartwheel, i think you should get air mattresses so their softer for you to land on. be careful and have fun.
