[DawgFL]

@Matt6128 Thanks so much for the reply!

[Daedricraft]

@DawgFL That happened to me too, try to be on your side more before you jump, and just practice :) good luck !

[TomiVichrak]

Hey, I really appreciate your video tutorial. Today I just landed my side flip! Your tips really helped me on this one. You said to commit to it, I did. I've always done it one foot side flip, but I just don't get enough height. Thanks to your video I have more confidence in my side flip. Thumbs up for this guys video if it also helped you. Btw, do you mind if I post a video response to your video. Please check it and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

[xNoNameee]

@TomiVichrak Thats nice, and that is exactly my problem. I don't get enough high with one foot.

[Magnosummit]

I can do wall flips and back tucks no problem, but I feel skeptical about doing these... :P Hopefully I'll learn it faster than I did the front or cheat gainer...

[StriveParkour]

When you block, should you bend your knees? Or does it work better with straight legs?...And how do you get accustomed to tucking tighter, my friends say i get good height and all, but i cant land as many sideflips as i should because i dont tuck tight enough.

[l3el3Iz]

how high does i have to jump to get it? if i have pretty fast rotation?

[StriveParkour]

Matt! Whats the song name?

[StriveParkour]

@kenyutube1 Just go for it! Sideflips are actually one of the easier moves once you get the hang out them! As long as you practice, and have somewhat good technique everything will be fine! Go out there and learn em! Theres nothing to be afraid of, lest you dont commit....

[kenyutube1]

@kenyutube1 also the hue of the grass in your yard looks so nice bro

[R3yT163rRT]

@Matt6128 I cartwheel to the left and I side flip to the right.

[SuperPepsi777]

Hey im not sure if you remember my youtube account but , thanks alot!

Thanks to this I can sideflip now!

[dosturner021]

Hey! I'm able to do this trick on concrete but when i do it, i feel i'm not jumping enough, if i record myself doing a sideflip, could you please tell me how to improve it?

I already have one video of me doing a sideflip, but it is in a different way. CHECK IT (: it is the only video i have uploaded.

[skyrunner95]

i see you have a lot of views, why not try adding google ads on your videos, it will be very valuable :)

[inertiabenders]

dude this was great!! :D thanks alot for the video :D

[SuperNikolaTKD]

Push UP ur pants -__-

[ThoseGuysParkour]

@SuperNikolaTKD LOL where do you wear your pants?

that's normal dood XD

[gookmail]

@Matt6128 Thanks :D it just seems a little weird going to the left cause i could not swing my arm down

[bboyginivey]

@Matt6128 so i would swing my hands like a cartwheel just in the air with my knees tucked

[gookmail]

Which is more comfortable for me? I'm right handed so should i go from the left facing the object or right facing the object? I dont know.. but for me, going to the left seems more comfortable...

[bboyginivey]

it looks like your feet are side ways and your body is facing foward is that the trick to keep your body facing sideways ... cuz it looks like i do a backflip ... please comment need help

[bboyginivey]

dude it looks like i do a backflip .. i cant keep my body side ways .... someone comment and help me

[Soulcarvers]

I keep bailing in mid air!! well gonna keep practising

[TomaTiesto8]

[parkoursomemore]

[keepitalive22]

thumbs if if at first u kept putting your arms out like a cartwheel....

[JavaSpitLava]

@Matt6128 i didnt watch that far...great job ude...im still getting there....nothing like practicing everyday!

[AstoriaSk8tz]

Do you always do it with your left arm, is that suggested? Or are you left handed.

[parkoursomemore]

i keep going into a backflip thing...

and dont get much height

[SlashParody]

i need help doing a no hand front and back flip, i can already do a handspring

[jackson1654]

manjas valew



[blahblah2356s]

Erm do yo guys punch diagonally, towards the front or on your side?

[SlashParody]

I have a question about backflips and frontflips. I can land a backflip, but I use my hands what is the positionings of your hands and feet when u start off? how do you tuck? And for frontflips I can only land them with no hands about 25% of the time, how are you supposed to tuck and start off? THanks a lot

[CalvinBGood]

@SlashParody By using your hands, do you mean you land on your hands? If so then that'd be a handspring.

[JavaSpitLava]

@Matt6128 louisiana....and i mean both feet on ground standing still....not that axe bullshit everyone else is trying to pull off....if you can do it....im envious...cuz this shit is hard!....

[KosticFreerunner]

@JavaSpitLava i do it too man

[ProHelp2010]

Ok. I REALLY REALLY HOPE YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEAASEE

Whenever I attempt to sideflip, it always looks like a frontflip... HOW DO I fix it???? Please I've been trying for DAYS now and it still looks like it... Can I upload a video and you tell me What i'm doing wrong?

[JavaSpitLava]

im wondering...is there anyone out there who can do it standing still?...i want some competition...if i see someone do it with my eyes it will push me to practice harder...im inches from landing it....

[KosticFreerunner]

@JavaSpitLava ill tell you something weird. i do it better while standing still from running :/. idk why..

[JavaSpitLava]

@KosticFreerunner we all have a perks....i can do alot of things standing still compared to everyone running and doing cart wheels and all that handicap stuff....

[RedLaserProductions]

@JavaSpitLava I can do it lol

[DreamingAboutDreams]

@JavaSpitLava epic1 can do it

[JavaSpitLava]

@DreamingAboutDreams awesome youtube name....

[DreamingAboutDreams]

@JavaSpitLava thanks

[DreamingAboutDreams]

@JavaSpitLava Thanks :')

[Matt6128]

@DreamingAboutDreams I do it in the video :3

[DreamingAboutDreams]

@Matt6128 Oh yeah :') i take back my statement and now say "Matt6128" can do it!

[KrazyKeaz]

[FesojNagod]

hey matt, when i sideflip, i always turn my body into a front flip and i cant fix it! what can i do to fix it?

[minecraft05]

[unknownaznx]

Should we get a spotter to help us like w/ backflips? i'm a total newb haha

[MrrAn0nymous]

thanks brother :D i'll be flipping in no time. peace.

[Romuloser90]

gratz!!!! very good

[quikScOpez7]

Hey dude, your videos are awesome, I started freerunning about a year ago and i've been jumping from small buildings but i've only just started practicing sideflips, I get partly over and land on the side of my legs adn thighs, what am I doing wrong? and keep up your videos, safe man

[CallofDutyPCGamer]

Any tips on height? I can't block my flips well even watching multiple tutorials on it, maybe it's because of my weight alittle?

[mindspa24]

Here's a tip. This is one of the flip not to bail on, hahah.

[FirthyPK]

i can do sides flat in a gym onto a mat and now i wanna take them outside but every time i go to try on i cant bring myself to do it have you got any tips on getting over the fear ???

[JaVSnIpEr]

i have a problem. i can block, i can reach a decent height, but my problem is the arm that pulls my body up, i dont pull with my arm, i just feel weird when i try to jump that way, and because of that i can't reach the maximun height i should get.

Any advise please?

[JaVSnIpEr]

@JaVSnIpEr btw sorry for the bad english :P

[FesojNagod]

@JaVSnIpEr well you have the answer, the arm you know what youre doing wrong so you just have to use that arm

[oo87FR]

nice!!

[TeamTriadJob]

What the hell, at some points it looked like I was looking at myself, especially when you were landing the punch technique one, haha nice sideflip too

[JackSPk]

Really nice tutorial!

[BraggersPteLtd]

I have problems with spotting. I dont know why but it just doesn't come naturally what do i do?

[danieleorlando]

The best sideflip tutorial ever. Thank you very much!

[weHAVEvibe]

hey nice tutorial, i can already get the basic front/back flips but every time i try a side flip i either go too far and do like a 180 front flip or dont get enough air got any tips???

[nimsxmx]

Hey! I can do my sideflip pretty okay, but I have the problem that I cannot get my back leg to kick.

Nice tutorial btw

[jmin012]

Matt, whats more important? Getting height before your tuck, or tucking right after you jump. Because my problem seems to be that every time i attempt this move, i end up landing on the side of my body. Is it because I'm not jumping high enough or because I'm jumping too far?

[arezznz]

Hey man, my sideflip is really similar to your sideflip where im really open. i struggle to get my chest to my knees and I rotate exactly like you do where i end up facing back to where I took off, the problem is I do Parkour/Freerunning and from a height that forces me into a back roll.. Any idea on how to stop that rotation in the sideflip?

[SystemOSD]

Hi, I cannot seem to throw my shoulder to the side before I really take off.

I have the Punch/ arm movement down. I just cannot seem to tuck correctly because I throw one of my shoulder's over.

Any tips?

[DemonGroupParkour]

thanks you for this tutorial i watch it yesterday and today i did the side flip thanks you very much

[theemir97]

Best sideflip tut in the world. tnx bro.. ♥

[nadaFIMax]

i like to do it with one foot you know like the webster or aerial i am afraid i wont spin becoz i go up so plz watch my channel and i will practise because youre sideflip is NICE i want to do that to how long did U practis

[lives2soak]

@nadaFIMax Dude, I'm having the same problem. I can do a standing webster side just fine, but I seem to have problems getting around with a running sideflip. If anyone has any advice on the transition between the two techniques, that would be awesome. Also, when in my rotation should I spot the ground?

[dud621]

is it safe to practice this on grass?

[Yrian96]

thx bro got in an hour

[Ninjanight950]

i block when i do it

[mccloskinator]

this is best and most detailed tutorial on youtube, i'll be posting back on here if i land in the next couple days :)

[trs30100]

This was a very nice tutorial it helped me a lot. i always used to end up doing a front 180 when i tried to side flip. It is really good and important in a tutorial to see lots of slow mo and broken down demos like this (: Is there any chance that you could do a back hand spring tutorial? There are a few out there but I prefer the style of yours. Cheers (:

[ratchetrockon]

What is the worst that could happen if I bail?

[ssbb756]

Is a punch sideflip or a cartwheel - sideflip easier?

[MrMyxxxer]

can i send you a vid, so you can tell me what im doing wrong?

[SystemOSD]

I know it may seem really stupid, but I am scared of hurting myself whilst doing this.

Is there anyway I could work up to this, or anything soft you could recommend to land on? Anything to help me get over the fear.

Thank you! :)

[FreerunningPK1]

@SystemOSD if you live by the sea you could do it onto stones or sand, if not a sand pit in a play ground or even a bush (maybe not a bush but you could try.

[FreerunningPK1]

I NEED HELP! i learnt sideflips and i can do them of a wall about 4 inches off the ground. BUT i can only do it when there is something or someone(crouching) therefor me to do it over, if there isnt i dont get the hieght, lease help me because its really annoying. what do u think would help??

[Walldunk]

I know how to do a sideflip, but I just simply can't do it! When I try to rotate I don't go anywhere and just fall on the ground :/ please give me tips on rotating and getting over the fear of doing a sideflip!

[SmoothFlowParkour]

i get the flip around but i land squating very low any techniques to get the flip higher?

[Ladomendigo]

@SmoothFlowParkour jump higher!!

[5674trackrunner]

@SmoothFlowParkour yeah its either ur stopping ur motion for ur sideflip like when u do the hop but u stop for a second than jump or u bend ur knees too much, and if ur leaning into it, try to keep ur chest up and ur body straight and try not to bend too much and look forward put ur hand up and throw it up and around like in the tutorial, i hope this helps...

[SuperPepsi777]

@Matt6128 Ok yea its really helping quite havnt got it yet. Is it ok if i post a vid. response when i land it?

one more thing sorry , what program did you edit this with?

[SuperPepsi777]

Hey im almost getting this flip but like you said on the 2 ft take off and land , instead of going up im going forward so its causing me to land straight on the side of my body, so my question is what really is the "punch"? everyone mentions that.

[Darknesblaze]

the first tutorial with no dislikes i've ever seen :D

[DaRussianz]

How do you get over keeping your eyes open when you flip?

[JacoboPk]

When I do statics I land almost in the same spot that I took off in. Is that bad?

[DonMagicz]

Hey judging by all the editing U obviously take this seriously its admirable soo thanks for the detailed explaination

thumbs up so he can see plz ;)

[DaRkNess1400]

@DonMagicz there's no need of thumbs up , he gets mails when someone comments on his videos.

[DonMagicz]

@DaRkNess1400 yea wateva not lookin for an arugument

[Banzai4ever]

How do you avoid turning when tucking on you knees with the knees closed? I do it that way, too, but I turn and land in a position like after a backflip. :/ It kinda works with my knees tucked to the sides, but then the flip is a little more complicated for me :D But ty anyway, the tutorial already helped me a lot.

[mw210lobbyfree]

have yhu ever really hurt yourself trying a jump ?

[HazzairsoftFR]

what camera is that? Also, the flip feels very uncomfortable and unnatural, is the only way to get over that practice? thanks :)

[Matt6128]

Hello folks!, Just in case your thinking of leaving a comment but also thinking, "nah he wont write back to me". I do! I answer everyone's questions as best i can in a personal message. So feel free to leave a question. Take it easy!

[nachuckwegotlettuce5]

@Matt6128 my problems kinda wierd, i totally understand all the physics behind the sideflip and the techniques/takeoffs/all that crap, and i can land one in a pool almost perfectly (like in a half-tuck feet down-almost standing position) , but for some reason i fail rediculously at this on land!!... any advice?

[Nasuha31]

@Matt6128 first.. what is the basic to do side flip.. my side flip always fall my body first than the leg??

[ggalaggo]

@Matt6128 I need some good advice, I can do a sideflip of one leg perfect and with control, but I want to learn the two feet sideflip because you use that for combo's as cartwheel to sideflip, but every time I try it, I get absolutly no hight, or I end up swinging my back leg up, making it a sideflip of one leg again. Do you have any tips?

[trs30100]

@ggalaggo i had this problem try doing it down a bank or something so you have more time in the air to figure out what to do with yourself if you get me, let me know if this helps (:

[ggalaggo]

@trs30100 Ok will try :)

[R3dSt4r90]

@Matt6128 could you please tell me what I have to change if I always look in the direction I came from when I land?

I land like you at 0:37 but my body is even more turned backwards

I wanna land like you do at 2:30 <<<<

[thunderstorm56]

Thanks man, and nice tutorial.

[vansandflannel]

Hey Matt I had a question. When i'm trying to do my side flips i go much to far forward and that causes me to not get enough height. Do you have any tips on how to fix this problem? If you want i can post a video response showing you.

[bullet14rip1]

i can do a side but i land back instead of the side i want to land side not back can you help me

[SweetFlipProductions]

A great sideflip Tutorial.I can do doubles but only into water.I'm gonna try it on grass.So thx for this tutorial.I think it will help me a lot

[jcanga20]

[scavengertom]

[MrGooTV]

9 tut! tut 4 front flip, pl!

[Michealreedable]

Best sideflup i've ever seen

[SixStringPirate]

thanks for the tutorial very much appreciated will be practicing it this weekend on the beach

[AncasterParkour]

Ok, i dont understand, During a sideflip what makes up if one lands sideways or backwards? cus i do it and land sideways, and my friend does it and lands backwards

[RANDOMDUDENo1]

@AncasterParkour They're both side flips. If you face sideways then you're keeping your shoulders back and chest out. If you land backwards then you're dipping your left shoulder (If you sideflip off your right foot) which gives you the 90degree turn during the landing. Both can be easily altered with practice! :)

[tecktolex]

watch?v=gy-g0h-33rY watch thiis

[yiyouninja]

Cool man , land in on my first try :D

[XavierLeander]

A good tutorial, I like that you kept it simple.

[Sebster120]

Best side tutorial out there. Learnt these today, thanks alot man (:

[FREEZE2RUN]

i posted my sideflips as a video response, can you tell me how to get them higher and less outward.

[NathanHFS]

@Matt6128 hey what if u can backflip on ground and i can do the side flip on the trampoline should i just go for it or do i need to practice another move?



[TupaSerban]

this is one of the best tricking tutorials, I've improved my sideflip alot, but I still have a problem with the standing one:I often land it similar how you did in that side-roll-side combo on 3:29...just can't land it with my chest up like you ( 0:47 for example) and I can't figure out what I do wrong.Can you help me with this?

[hhhhhhahah]

One of the best tutorial for the Sideflip.. very good.. make more
