WWW.3RUN.CO.UK Backflip tutorial

[allwood98]

can anyone help me? im quite small, im 12, when i jump i dont seem to get any height, why dont i get height? i can do it on trampoline without bounce thought, please help

[tylers911]

@dodgesxt type in the youtube search bar: something like fat kid does butterfly twist. if he can do that someone could probably learn to do a backflip.

[TheAlleyCats5000]

um... you threw your head and arms back....

[thexforgottenx22]

thanks

i got a crash pad and im going to pratice on that as soon as i get the opportunity

[WilkoPancake]

lookat 53 seconds in and lok at his right shoulder . it looks like there is a ghost behind him xD

[TheAlleyCats5000]

@WilkoPancake what? no it doesnt...

[x2a4z9]

Your backflip is good. I can do them but I need to perfect them. I have a slow rotation. Any pointers?

[TheMovieMaker2]

@x2a4z9 Tuck your legs in tighter and u will rotate quicker

[x2a4z9]

@TheMovieMaker2 i have them down now haha. don't even need to tuck that much anymore once you get used to them.

[kolizar666]

@TheMovieMaker2 the arms back as well?

[cloc606]

If u can do in back flip on a trapalean can u do one on flat ground

[TheMovieMaker2]

@cloc606 Thats a wrong information if u learn it on a trampoline with a bounce it will make it harder to do on flat round.

[peephole101]

well i know what im doing 2moz haha

[xxxgiaxxx02]

I think start with trampolin!I'll do my first attampt on one of them.Couse the move i think not too hard,but on solid ground fuckin scary when u didnt try before,and u wont pull ur legs to your chest.The brain block the tuck move:)

[drkelso82]

i like this british accent.Music for my ears.

[jakoinuyasha]

against the wall whit my head and i have a lot of fear to do backflips again but this tutorial make my think about naw i'm better than the last year and i can do it again thanks 3run so much.

[drkelso82]

[chrisrox112]

[Jonny69erWithYourMum]

[4tailedNaruto777]

trampoline or bed....or some outher soft surface...like if you own a gymnastic gym^^

[Jonny69erWithYourMum]

thanks

[goldking12]

I watched a few backflip tutorial videos, and this is the most helfpul to me. The key is, not only that you try to jump straight, but also to have the legs trained to be lifted toward the chest region. I am getting the knack of doing this flip now.

[54spiritedwill54]

This is nice Tutorial. i really need to learn this.

[j4ckyb01]

ty dude this helped me i can now do a backflip of things just over waist height but not on the ground yet =)

[djeffery96]

Thank you! I coach tumbling, and after hours of teaching people how to back tuck, I get so angry when I get on here and see a thousand horrible tutorials on this. You have done a swell job by emphasizing the key points and demonstrating them properly. I thank you so much!

[Gageges]

it is always the same in the tutorials you jump up you rais up your arms and you tuck but it is hard to true it without a gym

[parkour4life190]

very good tutorial sam

very helpful

[solidnem]

If they can jump high enough, then yes.

[rockleetricker]

nice tutorial=D im gonna try it

[kickthemoon007]

nice tutorial...i also know back flip it's not that hard to teach it...:):):)

[3rkmedia]

good tutorial thanks Sam :)

[blakeownzu]

I made a parkour tutorial

[Rogal711]

hey i learned a backflip about a month ago and about a week ago i learned a layout check out my videos

[googlybish]

ye i notice that too you guys say go up but you lean slightly back i mean i do a back flip by leaning back and its comfortable for me i try the straight up adn knees but i still always kinda arch? anyways 3run legend keep it up

[TeamExploit]

yeah that back lean isnt good... a pro gymnast can do a straight jump pretty much and tuck right at the top without any lean. Its just overcoming that fear. Good tutorial though.

[Trekax]

nice u actually gave me some tips so i can get a cleaner one, but it seemed u were kinda in a rush, good anyways ;)

[racki94]

you suck

[ThunderLive]

Good tutorial - however, people in these videos always say "go up, then tuck your knees in" etc which sounds fine, but then when I watch it it always seem like they start to go back pretty much straight away.

[Poliver1988]

They go backwards through the whole move, it's the Backflip lol! I agree that saying "jump straight up and knees to chest" could be misunderstood. Jump straight up means reach with your chest up. If you just jump and tuck nothing will happen.

[djeffery96]

It isn't that it's misunderstood, it's just that the student always thinks "back tuck, okay, go backwards." The main focus should always be about going up. If you jump and tuck, you actually will go backwards. When you try it, most people don't go backwards because they focus on keeping their axis in the same position, so they push their weight foward, keeping them in roughly the same spot.

[marcinkorea]

thanks for the vid... got a question though, what's easier? a backflip or a wallflip?

[Trekax]

wallflip is easier cus the wall helps u to flip and get hight, backflip is just slithly harder, but if u learn the backflip first the wallflip should be a piece of cake.

[bulldognumber8]

backflip

[pattiponk]

this is realy good tutorial and short you dont need more advise then this.

[tcrdodo]

This is nice Tutorial.

Not the best but very good i like that.

[Berendz0r]

i think this tutorial kinda sucks...

he's trying to tell to much in 1:51, and everything he says has been told before by others, and better.

[Brandiole]

Good tutorial. People need to get some balls (No offense like but, the only way you are going to get them, is if your try them, if you commit, the worst your gonna do is land on your knees). Yeah, I prefer to tuck at my shins, gets me around faster. Also, its more the effort you put into the back summie than the technique you have for it. x

[DamienZshadow]

Decent and concise tutorial. I would've gone over some tips on spotters and safety as well, but I guess that's more fluff than actual tutoring. Also, performing the first backflip on concrete would not be wise at all. I'm sure that's a give in with most, but there are idiots out there...nice job regardless, very clean-cut.

[AsNoxasIrKaTu]

wery good tutorial ;)

[pklewis88]

do a side flips tutorial plz

[BboyTheoryz]

seriously they need 2...sideflips are supposed to be really easy but 4 sum reason i jus cnt tuck whn im goin sideways..

[parkourppl]

basicly with a sideflip

if its off one leg

just tuck at the back of your front leg only

and keep looking at the ground

this is a basic sideflip

realy easy to spin

all you do is spin on the spot

do this till you get more confidance and jump up and try and get more vert and wait a bit longer before spining.

[pedja60]

NICE!!! THAtS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR GREAT!!

[sedancama]

help me plz i cant push my legs against my chest nad if i try to do it i fel of on my head

help me plz

[Hairboy01]

preactice no a trampo, much safer and easier

[AucklandFreeRunner]

Maybe you're bringing you chest to your knees instead of knees to chest?

There's a considerable difference, test it out :)

[JoMAlex]

Film your while doing your back flip and compare it with this tutorial , you will see wath you do wrong . The main reason why people do not land it , its because they push backward , but they have to push the high as they can streight up( do not look backward!!!!)Like Sam juste said!

[Buzzhead15]

i really need to learn this.

[marcinns1992]
