[joeyobroto101]

[joeyobroto101]

@joeyobroto101 wow you didnt do to bad

[chillione87]

tht was funny shit

[Sketch624]

its easy to understand about that mental block.. lol EVERYONE HAS IT you just have to basicly make your body go flying backward then let go cuz it SUCKS is you stop in the middle

[breakdancer100]

i got my first backflip by paying my friend to spot me, after him spotting me 3 times i realized i can do it by myself and i did. sucks i wasted 5 dollars on something that i can naturally do i just don't have the courage

[NubCakeNick]

i get spotted and i normally land on my knees and occasionaly in squat position should i still give it a go?

[breakdancer100]

ull never know until you try

[NubCakeNick]

yeah really helpful lol... did u just do it straight off or did u have a spotter at first?

[breakdancer100]

like i said i had a spotter for the first couple of tries, but after that i realize i can do it myself. it really depends on you, some people didn't even need spotters. the point is either doing it by urself or with a spotter ur gonna have to deal with your fear at one point if you wanna learn it

[Eshneh]

i went the gym this sunday and with a spotter i finally got the courage to go back and i actually landed like 3 of them, this thursday imma try no spotter, maybe upload a vid, to everyone else this is very easy

[arabsniper1]

oh man guess wat haoppened today i went to the gym tried my first bkaclfip in the pit and got it....i did it three times then tried it on the mat with no spotter and i got it...il upload a vid soon

[JoeTheToucan]

amazing

[arabsniper1]

thanx .man

[captaintwiggles]

The sweetest 'first backflip' I've ever seen was Chris from Stutterfly. My favorite video of theirs is "stutterfly - gun in hand". I was at one of their shows and at a breakdown Chris decided to do a backflip, while holding the microphone. He landed on his elbows and knees, then started going nuts. That one of the toughest looking things I've ever seen. Afterward he said to me that it was the first time he'd done a backflip. CRAZY!

[captaintwiggles]

that was ridiculous. I laughed, I cried, my heart raced, and then I realized I hadn't hit play yet. Then I experienced all those emotions all over again. Remind me not to have your sister as a spotter EVER. Hey, but at least she could have called 911 for you. I'm glad you lived through the experiment.

[rochycolm]

Have a few cans of bud light, just enough so that your not groggy,then try it in a pool or on sand, not grass. Its still hard man.

I got it when i was drunk and realised the beer gave me the courage to try it! sounds funny but there's no such thing as a mental block when your sucking down some cold ones.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm cold ones.........

[BboyUnik101]

ha ha ha nice...

[kd7mxi]

did i spot a crack?

[ttupistol]

i just want this wall to move!

[Hairboy01]

lol i did my first backflip onto a mat, it took me....5 days, a few hours and about 10 mins but finally i did it! i dont have a spotter so it was a bit worse, but i managed to live through it... only i havnt done it again for weeks... and the fears back :(

[Regetor2]

Exelent Try well am goignt to do my first backFlip in the sand am prity sacred and i know i very esay so....if you dont have fear you can do it Oh By the way 6:47 Was Funny :P

[OverLookedOutcast]

amazing spotter -.-

[alloutkx250]

MENTAL BLOCK!!!! lol

[VLambo311]

you dont have the explosive energy in you

[euemiamor]

Dont be afraid, if you do it correclty you ill never fall in your neck... its became almost impossible. I learn the backflip at my first day of training!

(sorry but my english still sucks)

[scsweetheart1307]

im having the same problem u did. whenever i try to do it there is like a block that wont let me flip.. i havent tried it with a spotter yet though. maybe i'll try that

[nycheer6605]

omg good for you! im still working on a friken backhandspring, and you go straight for the tuck.. wow!

but i have to admit 6:47 was hilarious!

thankss:)))

[ArchedCOOLER]

OMG LOL LOL OUCH lol

[WinterSpringPro]

its good to know you can almost do it on floor props to that. I can finally do it on the trampoline i just got it a few weeks ago. Tommorow im practicing again. There is a fear. But see heres the thing with me. I cant do it with a spotter. It messes me up lol. i have to do it by myslef

[r44cker]

Everybody can do it with a spotter. You've got to trust your spotter.

[BboyALMERE]

hahaha

[bdlp1987]

wow, you bounce around alot, its scary, ive only landed one haha, im afraid of falling, hahaha, you fell and kicked her in the face ha sorry, i thought i twas funny good job though (: i can barely do it

[indyelmo]

i agree with fiddlin every single time i have just a pi nky form my coach on my back my standing back tuck is perfect when she leaves i cant do it at all its all physcological

[fiddlinboy]

You sound just like the guy who does the videos at TricksTutorials. ;D

Nice seeing others have the same fear of doing backflips, even when they KNOW they can do them. I have the same problem, they are easy when you are being spotted (no matter how slight), but as soon as you are by yourself your back is against a "wall of fear".

[Mafiadude1]

u mean juji??

[Chris93Rock]

1st backflip .. OUCH

2nd backflip.. very nice :P

[jizoe215]

o man i was da same way at first!! ppl say its so easy well really its not!

[Dashblades2]

Ah I remember that feeling. I got it by doing it at the gym, where I did it on a mat first. But even before that I practiced it on my trampoline. Still though, when I did it without a mat it was scary as hell.

[zigumike]

yo juste jump and flex up ur body...its as simple at that

[peejayHIMSELF]

dude!! i know how u feel!! i feel the sam when im trying!!:| its so annoying:P

[ReyMysterioRO]

why u are so scared? u can break youre neck and remain paralized for youre entire life...thats all...>:)

[zigumike]

LOL!

[fallofshadows]

I saw the rainbow! I think.

[stayfanlollipop]

i know how annoying it is trying to get over the fear

ive been trying for weeks

[AmelliaStoney]

I don't think spotting was your problem. It was the lack of tucking your knees in and rolling back = D

Good job hun, otherwise haha *hug*

[azmosis]

congrats!

[L04DING]

Omg why watching 9 minutes? why didnt you clip it?!

[EvilEgon2]

omg just do the backflip and break your neck.. :P

[livetowin123]

just do the backflip

[shannwess]

i could do this when i was 4 with out going to classes

[fanofallgames]

yeah, the fear is something alright. enough to make me wanna puke.

the first time I actually got a backflip was when I tried for a backhand spring on my matress. I tossed one and was close to landing it. so I did a few more and actually tried and landed really well. you just have to have fun with it

[RunawayThumbtack]

I learned this without a spotter, but some cushions instead...I know the fear you're feeling. If you keep at this, eventually you'll get it, and the fear just disappears, eventually...well, almost. Eventually, you'll feel comfortable. If you still haven't gotten this, consider that your jump is was too comfortably rhythmic, and that rhythm is much too slow. You need more of an explosion, and tuck harder...

[samloka11]

i got almost the same problems but when somebody stands like he is supporting me i can do it and the other person doesnt help one i could do it it was so much fun so i'm going to try it agin i know i cna do it i always did it for 2 moths ago all by my self

[ganphra]

they should put a picture of you in the dictionary next to "persistance"

[chautauqua]

sweeeett! and dude if thats ur girl freind good job!!:P

[chrismansfieldpk]

keep trying take your shoes off you will get more spin and just jump up a little more.

[liamtheclown]

[ththo777]

[Shiinytoyguns]

[12itube34]

[snookakidz]

A for effort but yu freak out too much

[Lickostaph]

[pkpaul3]

[FLipGuy45]

LOL .. dude . i swear i was like that too. JUMP UP!!!!!! freaking out mid air pwns.. keep practicing! =)

[Greenrulez]

"Fear leeds to anger, anger leeds to hate, hate leeds to suffering" - yea...i know that feeling ;]. PS. good 4 U, and keep training.

[Flowboard4life]

I saw where you fell and I knew it was comeing

[Gutta3star]

[Nelly3188XGNaruto200]

[KrausePupil]

Dude it was good.Took me ages to get my first wall flip, still can't do a free back flip. =/

[JackTehWynn]
