[austinwebb11]

@jonathanwebb100 unfortunately a sister:(

[austinwebb11]

@jonathanwebb100 :0 we could have been switched at birth!!!

[jonathanwebb100]

@austinwebb11 You don't happen to have any other siblings do you?

[austinwebb11]

Lol my brothers name is Jonathan Webb but I do the gymnastics XD

[jonathanwebb100]

@austinwebb11 OMG you dont understand! This is really weird. My brothers name is Austin Webb! I'm not joking. You don't have another brother named charlie do you. If you do this has to be a joke.

[SorryAllOut]

dude i landed it first try

[jonathanwebb100]

@SorryAllOut Thats awesome! congrats dude. Im glad I could help.



[SorryAllOut]

@jonathanwebb100  iv been able to do them but i land with my hands but i land on my feet now thank u

[realkaban11]

very bad

[codeman2557]

when you back flip your kindof flipping before you tuck this is the part that bums me out because i can do the tuck fine its the flip

[editor403]

dude that was one hell of a jump!

[joshuah66222]

you might want to go to a pool and practice it there

[zhengyangyeh]

GARGHH...i just don't have the nerves to do it..

[deviljho666]

lol i got a question i can backflip and land aslong as its of something and its all ways perfect but i try so hard on the ground and i land on my knees or tip toes which makes me fall foward and can someone tell me how to improve cause im soo confused aye

[sasquashownz1]

any chance of a frontflip turtial please.

[MikSane]

im 200 lbs 5/10 and i do them!

[NlkOlVy]

im scared about falling and break something.. :S How can i encourage myself??

[noogai132]

@NlkOlVy It's easier to do a backflip on a trampoline first before you do it on the ground. This is because you get more of a jump out of it. With a backflip done on a trampoline, you don't have as much a reason to get hurt because, well.. you'll be landing on something that isn't exactly hard. What you really need to learn is that while it might be scary, people get hurt doing it because they think they will. You think you get hurt, and you will. Make yourself think you'll do it, and you will.

[NlkOlVy]

@noogai132 thnks man... ill try it on a trampoline first....but first.. a redbull! hehe

cheers!

[noogai132]

@NlkOlVy Another piece of advice.. Once you learn the backflip on the trampoline, I would also suggest going to a gymnasium near you, and ask for one of the gymnast guys to be a spotter, or help you out in learning how to do a backflip. They should know what to do. >_>

[AndrewBotish]

thats linkin park in the end :D

[Icywolf44]

suggest a place to do this and try this becasue i cant some up the courage. ( SCARY ) i dont have an old mattress nor a trampoline but grass and help thx

[flamer41]

hahaha i landed and heard a crack on my neck.

[kingq101]

in the summer, im gona put a matress in my backyard and go crazy...hope i dont break my neck lmao

[Jussoparkours]

thats sik keep it up bro

[RaleChannel]

if i brake my neck its ur fault

[Fergalicious103]

of all thes arguments i actually wanna know what this in the end remix is called lol

[calliebutterfly978]

Why don't you just call it a back tuck? Because that's what its called,

[Haduko2]

@calliebutterfly978 what if you dont tuck? For me its better to call it backflip. Just sayin ^_^

[Marvcohen]

Too bad you didn't show some bloopers with this tutorial. Just to show how what could happen if you don't do this right........ and I could use a good laff

[horseracing2009]

Why does no one ever do tutorials for the back flips where u don't tuck there the ones i want to learn

[stayfanlollipop]

you're starting off wrong, you shouldn't crouch down so much, you lose height

[sSupremOo]

you hold ur knees to spin,,,you need to do that for so that you spin????thnx

[danciero]

yes.. dats right.. we call it.."tuck"

[Pompom106]

its not tha reanamation version its tha demo

btw very helpful

[TecNoLBP]

Umm how did you learn this, it seems to scary for me to do it. Plz reply.

[jonathanwebb100]

I had a very very hard time getting up the courage the first time! I had to try and convince myself for like 3 hours to try it, and I didnt hurt myself. But I was on an old mattress in my backyard. So I would suggest a mattress or trampoline. You're not alone, everyone has trouble with that aspect, everyone! Good luck.

[cracpotjack]

@jonathanwebb100 this will totally help thanks!

[acannon15]

just do it and have someone spot you at first.

[jimjim2237]

@TecNoLBP i was terrified my first backflip too, i first learned on a trampoline then i did it into a little sand pit. I was so surprised i landed it my first try

[WTFisThatKid]

[KompRamiZe]

LEARN TO DO THIS ON A TRAMPOLINE FIRST! (for tjose dumb asses that cant and would try it flatland)

[MrChipndale]

try on crash mats at gyms or what i do is at my highschool they have a pole vault mat thats perfect for them.

[theironkitten98]

i dont have a tramp (sigh) Any good places you guys would suggest that i could learn this?

[glooomie69]

look at my video i do most of my stuff atm in park sandpits

[monkeymit2]

0:21 seconds in read the warning lol

dangerious

[HaloBounce]

backflip is easier than front but backflip is creepier xD so for you who want to try, try first on a trampoline to get the flip feeling, then go to ground, thats what i did :)

[ReAdY4Parkour]

thanks!))

[BoyUnder93]

Thanks for the tips...

[silohuette]

im from op what school do u go to, i go to ophs

[mst93NightCrawler]

it's hard and dangerous but i will try it :))

[americangirl14x]

i wish i could do a backflip.

[Traceusestefi]

Is very Nice hello i'am stefy of Argentina kisses

I speak english no much for speak ^^

BeAuTiFuLl BoY yOu!

[BigPimp14]

will definitely try after i lose more weight i can only do a front flip so far

[SEBBLALONDE]

front flips are harder than a back, so you should be able to do a backflip

[BigPimp14]

wow really i wouldnt think so

[Cawmplihcayted]

Yes, front flips are much harder than backflips. Whilst doing a backflip, there are many things you may do to spin yourself backwards, however there is nothing you can you like that whilst front flipping.

[Prank483]

i can do a backflip on my tramp (im 10) but not on the ground but can neally do a front flip in the air on the ground :P

[Cawmplihcayted]

That's exactly where I'm at right now, but I'm 12. :\

[Prank483]

Cool!.

i just need to do it on the tramp (backflip which i can)

but trying not to pre hop so i can just jump the whole way round cant do that yet

[iloveusarah8]

[deathfromabove360]

in the end remix

[imaclownandwillkillu]

Learn the right time to actually pull your legs in. Jump straight up and not back, and at the peak pull your legs in faster .

[UJadhurimpk]

mos me thuaj

[23drummerboy23]

good tutorial but not so good backflip.. well it was a good backflip but when you do it try to land in the exact spot that you jumped from.. that makes the best backtuck

[demirnp]

it looks eazy but its hard!

[backstaberkid20]

i jumpd too high cuz i hitd my head in the seeling of my room

[harryboy300]

LOL

[luey1222]

dude

that was a great example

[22k0]

Congratulations boy... you're good! :D

[AKAS2Knight]

no no I really want to know this but i m worried about fuck my neck and i have fear shit!but i want to know it so what should I doo????!!!?? SHIT!

[amtti91]

if you are afraid your neck, try landing on your back of sideways...

[AviadM]

dude i can do a good backflip i land about 5 cm away from my jumping spot,

AND

your backflip is not performed well, you jump too back as you're going to do a flick-flack, the only reason you lend is because you jump high enough and tuck well... but you shouldn't land that far...

[creditcard8]

dude thats realy shit!!! you can brake you neck

[FootballAndMovies]

i am just too scared thank for still trying tho

[TheStreetWay]

its good but dificult

i will try ot thx a lot

[dragoner111]

[BB0yRJ]

[overthehill91]

the back flip isnt so hard if you dont chicken out half way.

[lolcowsruleweeeee]

@ 1:35 thats were people usually mess up. they dont tuck enough so they land on there head! do it on a trampoline first then try it stationary on your trampoline so u wont get hurt.

[JobroLOVE96]

dont forget to set!!!! first u hav to jump up straight then flip over

[bbsfactor7x7]

nice front flip in 1:20 and do u know any way for me to get over my fear of tucking when i practice the backflip i feel like im gona land on my neck and i dont even whhen i have a spoter i can do wall flips gainers ect.. but this is only move ive accualhy been scared of o_O help plz..

[fonty599]

I do hope you realize it's the same backfilp played in reverse.

[bbsfactor7x7]

ya lol i kno i waz playing around =P

[joealtair3000]

i found it easier to lie down in the air like he does when its slo mo then tuck much easier

[skillio666]

it looks good but Ive tried about a million times and i stil cant do it can u help me

[joealtair3000]

fear get over the fear and then u can do it that is all i can think of that should be in ur way

[adamwilson301]

Any tips on making myself tuck? I try and try and try to do a backflip and just keep doing backhand springs b/c I cant make myself tuck lol. 6' 155 Lbs isnt to tall for a back flip I dont think is it?

[jonathanwebb100]

NO your not to big. Im 5'11" and 160lbs. I would practice jumping straight up and just tucking into a cannon ball then letting go, or do it into a pool or onto a mattress. just so you get the feeling. When you tuck, tuck as tight as you can and pull your feet as far into your body as possible. it will help you spin faster when you do the flip. You have the hardest part down, jumping backwards. Backhand springs take more of a jump off the ground than back flips do, in my case.

-Jon

[adamwilson301]

Thanks. I'll try that. If I still have trouble I will head to the Gym for the pool.

[marcinkorea]

i think i know your problem. you have to wait until the very peak of your jump, then tuck in. also, don't jump backwards, jump straight up. if you tuck in as soon as you jump, you will inevitably do a backhand spring.

[bennett732]

John You are my idol i want to be just like you when i grow up

[mendmefrend2008]

i used to be able to do this like 5 days ago but i cant do it no more why not?

[jonathanwebb100]

That happended to me too at first. I had it down perfect and I did one about every day for a few days. But after that I stopped for like 2 days and when I tried to do one again I kept psycing my self out that I couldnt do it. What I did was I dragged the mattress I used to learn the flip in the first place out in my yard again and had to relearn the flip. It only took about 20 mins, much faster than the first time I tried it. Hope that helped.

-Jon

[supafly51]

Dis iz da best tutorial on you tube about backflip tutorial but i also broke my god damn neck. LOL(Just kiddin about the neck)

-Jon

[poomanshoo]

[SandlotGlitching]

-Jon

[seanybhoy06121995]

[jonathanwebb100]

-Jon

[antobrez]

[lokokolo12]

[maniakatosheto]

I'm 16 years . Today i killed my fear with a little friends support. All you do is duck with your arms high back. Them you swing your arms foward and jump at the same time the arms do most of the work

[jonathanwebb100]

basically what the kid below said is the best thing... just get some peopple to spot you...

-Jon

[naerey]

define "spot you"

[metallicrules]

sweet. im gonna do it at school when I learn how. Ill just be standing there and- WHAPPAH!

[ionutcata94]

[mrlundt]

if u watch carefully , u can see how important it is to bend knees , look what would happen if he didnt ! look carefully !

[rockinhardlp90]

Yeah. I watched a few tutorials on here to learn. the 14Min. one is the best one on here. so everyone should watch that. my video is me doin some flips a few days ago.

 check it out!!!

[343guiltysprk]

dude how long did it take u to learn to land a back flip?

[jonathanwebb100]

well I had already known how to do a back flip correctly on a trampoline but I dragged a mattress out in my back yard and it took me about 2 or 3 hours to get up the courage to try it and after 1 or 2 tries I landed it on my feet... I never landed on my head but i did land and fall over a few times...

-Jon

[mmnkj]

nice man, its cool if you can do it, standing somewere with friens, to show of a bit . lol

buttaa,.. how long did it took you to get it right ?

[jonathanwebb100]

well I had already known how to do a back flip correctly on a trampoline but I dragged a mattress out in my back yard and it took me about 2 or 3 hours to get up the courage to try it and after 1 or 2 tries I landed it on my feet...

[DaviMunhoz]

[jonathanwebb100]

note: you english doesn't make any sence...

[jonathanwebb100]

what are you trying to say?

[407Derek]

Brandon112213

I highly doubt that you can 720 backflip on the ground. Also your trying to start a fight with this kid. Your a true retard. Your just like every other posing ass bitch on youtube. Also you say that a whole lot of people on youtube have videos on youtube of them doing 720 backflips? Yeah right. Send me one video. Better yet send me one of you doing it. Exactly shut da fuck up you damn queer.

[brandon112213]

dude that is shit lol i can do backflip 720 on ground wtf loser

[jonathanwebb100]

prove it! I watched your vids... you cant do anything. theres nothing at all worth watching...

[brandon112213]

listen here you little fucker i dont put that kind of shit on here everyone has it they will be like wow you are good thats it.. go felch your mom

[ziga078]

i need help, i got a friend who is afraid of jumping.What can i do

[jonathanwebb100]

to try and get him to jump, all you can do is start small and slowly get bigger... other than that ur just going to have to practice...

-Jon

[pedroamedro]

you heeled the ground in that first one ?!? correct? good tut

[MingosStyle]

thnx it help me a lot

[skullkiller00]

hey thanxs u have any tips

[sai6600]

thanx man can u give  me a good tip

[jonathanwebb100]

well if you can kinda jump high just make sure you tuck your knees in as hard as possible! thats all... good luck, hope I helped.

-Jon

[sai6600]

thanx and good again

[jonathanwebb100]

I didnt feel comfortable with a spotter... So I got a mattress in my backyard and just watched tutorials and got up the courage... hope I helped.

-Jon

[capoeiristanazrim]

how did u first learn to do it. did u get a spotter or one day u woke up and juz wanted to try it out.

[Zeldafreak6245]

and how may times did you try before you successfully didnt your first backflip? I just wanna know to esstimate how many times ill land on my head.

[jonathanwebb100]

I actually made it almost all the way around the first time. I never actually fell on my head. just jump as high as you can and tuck ur knees in as hard as possible.

-Jon

[PaulxHan]

aha wow dude.. this video actully helped. i'm really scared to tuck in my knees and stuff cuz its awkward for me -.-.. ah well thanks for the tutorial

[kbk4me]

i gonna try :P first make a grave :p

[Y2KTVT]

[jonathanwebb100]

It's called "Ulead Video Studio 11" you can google it and go to there website and download a free 30day trial... hope I helped.

-Jon

[squiggly9]

itd prbably be a good idea to warm your muscles up before, correct?

[jonathanwebb100]

pretty much... that doesnt mean if you got the balls, you'll make it for sure though...

-Jon

[haiiti]

so doing a backflip is just do don't think just do

[sixela165]

Dont double bouncelol

[mayan212]

You can go higher than that, your not using your arms enough! I think you should work on your form before providing a tutorial. Don't take this the wrong way, i appreciate that you took the time to make this with some good tips.

[zedswaq]
