How can i learn how to do a backflip?

Question

i dont want to use a spotter and dont want to take gymnastics and im in great shape.

Answer 1

Ok, No spotter no gymnastics....hmm

Well if you're sure about yourself, then i guess you could try doing it on soft grass.

Remember to jump UP. It may be called a back-flip but the biggest mistake you could make is jumping back. Always jump UP and NOT back.

Use your arms! swing them up like you're going to touch the sky. This helps you get more height for your rotation.

Tuck HARD. Tuck your knees to your chest. More tucking means faster rotation = less chance of landing on your head.

So remember.

- Jump straight up

- Swing your arms up

- Lean back and tuck

- Party hard afterwards.

Hope this helps =]

this video shows you everything you need to know to be able to learn a back handspring.

if so, then you have to go to a class especially if you are not in good shape. you could seriously injure yourself! you can try it on a trampoline by yourself though just be careful
