How do you do a backflip on regular ground?

Question

I'm 13, 5'6", 130 lbs, pretty athletic and fit, and I can do backflips in water and on trampoline with no problem at all. I can do front handsprings, long handstands, and jump fairly high. I'm not afraid of landing on my head or neck, nor am i of going backwards. I will probobly land on my knees the first time, but I'm asking the for precaution. I do not want to go to a gym, have a spotter, or take gymnastics... I just want to do a flip, so do u think I could... My friends and i do.

Oh yeah, I'm a second degree black belt too

Answer 1

practice on an old matress fist or a mat watch a video on it and get a feel for how you do it you really need momentum so get a good running start do not try this on solid ground‼good luck‼

Answer 2

you can't just flip im pretty sure. you need momentum. do a cartwheel then twist in the air. i recommend doing it over a mat to start with.

Answer 3

UMMM Please don't land on ur head. But what you need to do is: keep ur hands by ur side and stand up straight.  The ur going to go into somewhat of a sitting position then jumphard and flip over.  This is easier watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex1lcaCBD...
