How does a person learn to do a backflip?

[HafBayked]

didnt read all of it but the first part is true....we dont know or think about getting injured when we're little....i had nuts of steel when i was a kid....jumping off second floor balconies, ramping bikes, flipping on matresses, the whole nine...but now that im older and i've seen a few people break they're fuckin neck, you couldnt pay me to do none of that shit lol

I eventually want to learn to flip on a snowboard but the knowledge i posses has me shook as fuck.

Young kids dont give a fuck..They are fearless for better or worse I knew at least 4 kids that didnt know what they were doing but will be quick to flip off of anything..

I remember this lil nigga in 4th or 5th grade flipping off the sink in the bathroom .

Maybe I should smoke weed then maybe I will be able to do a backflip cause I wont think about anything any fear or getting hurt.

I was about 12 when I started doing back flips. I was that kid that would flip off of anything fences, the shit where somebody holds your foot and basically throws you,even had the gainer down. ( not sure if hoods have "that kid" these days) If you're in shape, I say just go for it. Youtube it for further instructions.

You niggas sound like pussies...everybody in my neighborhood could do flips, even the fat kids

Young kids are small so they legs are easier so flip around and bend back and maybe then that allows them to be able to continue doing backflips like its nothing.They could contiue doing it even though their bodies are developed I dont know how they could continue doing it older.

It's just a matter of determination and not being afraid.

One day, a few years ago, I was with my friends and one of them decided they wanted to learn how to back-flip. At first I thought it wasn't gonna work.

We watched a 13 minute or so video on YouTube, two or three times. Then we walked to a park nearby where we did some practice runs, and within 15 minutes, my friend was back-flipping by himself. Basically he started out on the ground, practicing throwing his hands back above his head, then bringing them down and his knees up. Then standing up, he would do the same thing. Then he would do the same, while one person on each side flipped him. Slowly we had to put less effort in flipping him, and he would put more effort in flipping. Then when he was finally ready, he did it, by himself, on the first try.

I told another friend who wanted to learn how to back flip what had happened. We watched the video, and he skipped through a lot of it, did not take nearly as much time practicing, and when we went to flip him on the first try, he fell on his neck.

You gotta be determined and patient,..

i used to be able to do it on a trampoline, till once i hit my leg or some shit, and it was like something mental that kept me from turning all the way after that..

^the fuck, it looks like these niggas can bicycle kick the rim and shit. Makes a nigga want to go learn how to do that shit.

Everything is hard to learn at first but learning anything is hard if you are scared of it.

That's what stopped me from doing back flips. I can only flip on a trampoline, but I've done all flips on a trampoline. Front flips, side rolls, double front flip (took forever and was scary as fuck) but the back flip... the back flip my first time I landed on my stomach, thought I had it down, did it again and didn't turn all the way, face planted and feet touched the back of my head, never did I do it again...
