Backflip / Back tuck tutorial

[aggresivelucas]

whenever i try backflips i move forward :/ any help with preventing this its got me afraid to try them

[ravebender]

I know I can do this but when im about to do it I randomly get afraid of doing the flip

[pavliscrew]

17 people don't try this..!

[MultiBayleigh]

Any tips on how to control the fear?

[federicou324]

@MultiBayleigh try doing it in a matt at the gym or maybe if you put your bed apart and try it on the mattress... and if you want something a little more scary try it on grass

[trueenergylieswithin]

@MultiBayleigh what i did was go to a beach and land on my head in some soft sand over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over till i made it to my knees then it took me a day but i could eventually land a back flip... Then 6 years later i found out these make these things called foam pits. Man that would of been nice. but hey now I can work on my standing double back flips.

[MrSPAINER]

He leaned his head back when he did his flips ??? :L

[MrMihaitza2]

i rotate too much !=))

[minhhoang2312]

damn, i totally have enough things to do this, just the fear. can't get over it :( damn it

[leanort1]

@hurumyboy Im pretty sure he mean dont sling it back with the same force as ur arms because throwing your arms up will be makin you go higher in the air bit if u sling ur head back like you did ur arms itll make ur momentum work on going backwards makin u llose less height in your jump i think it should be fine to throw it back some so u can see where you are landing

[hurumyboy]

Can someone help me? What i dont understand id that He said dont throw your head back....But when he demonstrated it, i see that he threw his head back....PLEASE HELP?

[TheScootyMan]

1:26 someone's havin' sex during this video

[MalolaAnime]

[gauravistheman]

[TorturedSlayer]

Keep pressing 8 to see him hump the air.

Keep pressing 7 to see him support the Nazi's.

Keep pressing 6 to see him act gay.

Keep pressing 5 to see him ask you 'who you wanna do?'.

Keep pressing 4 to see how big my penis is.

Keep pressing 3 to see him agreeing to how big my penis is.

Keep pressing 2 to see him admitting that my penis is real.

Kwl Story Bro?

[ScBoyyx]

@TorturedSlayer that was the most gay comment evarrr...

[DerDerDeineMamiBangt]

i hate doing a backflip it uses so much more energy that for example a frontflip or a backfull

[AMage4Battle]

i've been a gymnast for 6 years i believe and i can do triple back and front flips its really fun and oh yeah im 12

[lu1scantu]

@AMage4Battle was telling ppl ur 12 really nessasary?

[levlinks24]

@AMage4Battle want to make people feel even worse? prove it.

[ezkiller93]

@AMage4Battle In Parkour/FreeRunning/Tricking it doesn't matter if you're 6 or 36, you still have fun. I'm 18, and there's still probably someone younger than me who can do a trick or two better than me ;)

[AMage4Battle]

@ezkiller93 i agree :D

[TheTr3yification]

I've mastered back flips on a trampoline ( can do one after another +land perfect all time+don't need to jump/bounce) is it much harder on doing it on ground ? :P

[xDUBBYCOOKIEx]

@TheTr3yification yes D: i landed on my face my first time

[TheTr3yification]

@xDUBBYCOOKIEx D: ouch

[TOADinvader]

@TheNextgenparkour Thanks for the help. Maybe I'll try to learn a backflip first.

[TOADinvader]

If I'm learning to do a flip, which one is easier for me to learn first? A frontflip or a backflip?

[TheNextgenparkour]

@TOADinvader Frontflips are harder to land on ground, but not as scary as a Backflip. Backflips are extremely easy after awhile but are more scary when you first try them. When you know you have mastered the Backflip is when you can wake up every morning and do a Backflip beside your bed and land it no problem.

[bleach4711]

don't do what he's doing with his arms, extended completely up and even a little back, not infront of you.

[Banthaking]

@nzurmuhlen2

first learn it on a trampolin

[nzurmuhlen2]

[kamel0779]

[moonfire37]

hypocrite, talk about not throwin your head backk.

[WellyPheonix]

@moonfire37 he didn't, his head is aligned with his body

[PkFrBrad97]

Whenever I try a backflip I either tuck with one hand and my other hand is out and I get a weird landing which is crouched or at the side or I tuck with both and land on my knees or all fours, I have great height when doing so and used to be able to backflip perfectly without tucking if you look on my channel but now I can't do it and I don't mentally feel scared. Can anyone help or give me tips on what to do to prevent this?

[pixelEATER5]

@PkFrBrad97 leg strengh/ jump training

[508Rangers]

@3runTube its reall hard not to throw my head back and how do i get over the fear of doing them?

[nzurmuhlen2]

how do you get over the fear of back fliping

[SeeWhoGivesAFXCK]

@nzurmuhlen2 Getting over your fear of doing a backflip is not easy… trust me. lmao. I did my first backflip on a trampoline 7 years ago, fell off the side and almost broke my leg, never did it again, until earlier today I was just watching people do them. I stood up and said 'Fuck it, I'm going for it" my friend asked to spot me and i said no, went for it, and got it first try. It's all about commitment. If you can jump to about your belly button hight, just commit and you'll be fine.

[alakaboom4]

@nzurmuhlen2 I have a pull up bar, and I'd do backflips off of that, untill I felt Comfortable to do it without the Bar.

[bleach4711]

@nzurmuhlen2 by backflipping... >>

[VeradoonKing]

@nzurmuhlen2

it's kind of annoying when people keep responding to you when you have top comment, when you've already learned the backflip eh?

[levlinks24]

@nzurmuhlen2 you tell yourself "fuck it" then you jump as high as you can, then do the following instructions.

[D4MN4TI0N1]

I can't get any rotation :(

[johnnymooreVEVO]

i cant land it

[WhatTheRast]

@iTzxGuZheRz i had a spotter landed it in 3 tries

[MRTACOFTW]

im scared for back/front flips on a trampoline it works fine but on grass im scared any1 got tips?

[Loads24]

@MRTACOFTW you just gotta go for it but NEVER stop midway... itll just end badly you should practice backflips in a matted gym area off of a leveled base first. and then the ground. once youre confident you should try it on grass.

[charmax3510]

i like the grass behind you. WHY DONT U USE IT!!!

[tickross]

question..... Im 200lbs+ can I still do a backflip??

[kag35ninety6]

@tickross if you can create enough force to throw your body a full 360 then yes... but these kind of things are best for smaller people, since they are lighter. notice that most of these guys are short.

[Montgomery551]

Thank u I wanted to no how to back flip because I do back filps on a trampoline. And I wanted to do It with out one .

[M4RTI4L4RT5]

that was perfect man nice i just learnt my back flip yesterday and i already attempted it outside landed it aswell :D

[SaintFromBelow]

it helps when you have a 3ft vertical... like this guy.

[hpufo]

Back flips are actually easy. Just jump, tuck, COMMIT!!! If you don't commit you will be in a world of pain.

[Thedevil07012]

I thought I saw boobs at 0:44

[fashoingirl97]

[lovingMaria1]

[JemiFrubaYo]

[soaps67]

don't you go run round to ree ro

[GV1RUS]

im a need to king size matress to train

[kipupking]

check it out please:D. /watch?v=D2P3ghpfqPA my backflip at 1000fps

[xtremehamster]

Are there any exercises to help you jump higher?

[56glassPeices]

@xtremehamster Easy - ride a bike, hard - wall sitting

[ftwmarioftw]

@xtremehamster go to some stairs and at the edge with ur toes on the edge, lift ur body up with ur toes going up and down for a while; this will build ur cav muscles to help you jump higher.

[kevn123xxx]

i suggest doing this on the trampoline on your first time

[Extrem3Production]

Umm.... when i do this on the trampoline i accidentally do a gainer only slightly but still anyone know how to fix that and yes i am trying to jump back

[Pinocheck]

@Extrem3Production Yes dude, Do it from a ledge and down into water at your local swimming pool or something like that. You'r not gonna want to do a gainer there so your mind will force your body to the backflip properly and land in the water instead of on the ledge.

[DoraemonSugoi]

Is it really necessary need to tuck your head ?? Why does it seem like you throw your head backward in the video?? Reply pls >< i really wish to try it,but i just dont understand that part of the tutorial

[gremlinextreme101]

@DoraemonSugoi He looked backwards as apposed to throwing his head back. If he'd tucked it properly then it would have been a faster spin. Note that despite this imperfection in his technique, he waits until he is high before he looks back, thereby cutting rotation rather than height from the flip. People generally say it's better to under-rotate high than over-rotate low.

[TylerNewmanPk]

this really helps,

i have a backflip progression video on my channel, and tips would be GREATLY appreciated,

-peace<3

[donmacarubbo]

please!!

train me!!

[blablabla7160]

nice



[ryuusilverwolf]

@jakewfpf They do tell you not to try them on concrete. It's in the opening text. I assume they do that so that they don't have to say it every single time they do a tutorial.

[CallMePauluz]

@eagles530 almost everyone can :$

try to go to next step: doulbe backflip on trampoline :D:D

[eagles530]

i can do that in a trampoline:) And why is there moaning at 1:25

[shleper181]

I have a heard time tucking, but i have no problem flipping! (also i couldnt help but notice the moaning 1:25) weird

[CallMePauluz]

@iTzxGuZheRz

it hurt? did you try it at a gymnastic mat? then wont hurt anything :D

[iDeathFX]

OMG nobody cares if you're a Mormon! (referring to the dumb advertisements)

[jakewfpf]

i never understand why these 3run vids never explain , no you are not actually going to want to try this for the first time over concrete like the dude in the vid. This prettymuch must be done in a gym. unless your just a tank.

[Wowfreakske]

keep pressing 8 for nice beat

[FrozenGravy]

i wana do that

[InkM0nster]

"look with your eyes"

Thanks, i think i can do that

[chrisycee]

he threw his head back tho...



[Jermaine0061]

@ 1:21 I think I heard a witch crying? Anyways nice! thanks for the tut.

[snobbor]

NUMBER1MAXIMUS : i started going to gymnastics and i haven got a back tuck completely other than onto a big soft mat an form pit but id suggest going to gymnastics. places around me have open gym with instructors there thatll help an spot you

[MultiKnull]

@snobbor you need to click the reply button buddy

[Number1Maximus]

Im 13 and i hardly have any experience in free running

where can i start learning all this?

i live in perth

[markbakotic123]

@Number1Maximus i would suggest just watching these videos and maby getting some saftey items like matts and foam so you don't hurt yourself:] , also you can try going to gymnastics were they have all these features.

[jessejem1]

did he seriously do it on a drive way? I hate landing on non spring floors. wow

[bary1234]

You dont pull your knees to your chest. You pull them towards your ears, like you should. Just squeezing yourself to a ball would not rotate you.

[mikejwhat]

best ive seen after an hour on youtube. is that loughborough dude!?

[Flexyyflyer]

thanks sooo much it really helped!!!

[MasterNinjaTerrorist]

I don't know why I can't do it?

I have the physical ability

I know the technique

I'm not afraid to do it (I don't think I am)

Why can't I do it?

Do I not have enough control over my body?

[jakester2014]

@MasterNinjaTerrorist i thought the same thing. i kept trying and trying. then i started doing leg presses in weight room & i tried it one day and landed it perfectly. first try. i leg pressed around 620 before i actually tried backflip

[SomePersonNamedCurt]

this filmed in queens?

[TheBubblze27]

I love the way they say peace out after every video! <3

[doohan677]

oh and FUCKK BRAH YOU CAN JUMP HIGH!

[gnandtgnandt]

i can get my frontflips as high as my neck almost higher then me when im upsidedown but with back tucks im like a bit below waist level cuz i cant peak i go backwards about 1 meter and i try my hardest to jump straight up but im screwed up and just go back any help? im losing alot of height but i can land them fine

[Hammer6524]

@gnandtgnandt Try going through the motions of a back flip with out actually doing the flip part (don't rotate), and see if you can jump up and come back on the same spot. Do this 3-5 times then try your backflip. Hopefully you won't go so far back.

[gnandtgnandt]

@Hammer6524 k alright ill try

[brothajack1993]

I can land backtucks fine. I just cant spot my landing. Some help would be appreciated please.

[LoganJD2013]

I finally got the courage to attempt a backflip off a mat and on the ground and I landed it. Thanks 3run for this awesome tutorial. I'm not that much closer to being as great as you guys.

[LoganJD2013]

@LoganJD2013 I'm now that much closer*

[Dan101215]

This is good advice well delivered, now I just got to practice.

[MuhdAdil123]

what do i do if my tuck can't give me the power to go backwards?

[mikejwhat]

@MuhdAdil123 errrrrm

[az0000ism]

gudgame

[REX2690]

press 8 to make him do a backflip

[PhoenixKing0617]

now, 11 people have broken their necks attempting to do this

[mikerunner18]

1:22 is sikk cause u will know wat to do cause its slow

[ICEathletics]

AHHH.... yeah a little tip. Bringing your knees to your chest or at least saying that will initiate your rotation is correct, HOWEVER, only bringing your knees to your chest will allow you to create the first half of the rotation, and could possibly not allow you to rotate at all if you do not know how to utilize your hips. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THIS TIP!

[5674trackrunner]

you make it look so easy -_- o well ima keep on praticing d: on a soft bed or mat.

[Layiloe]

this guys a free runner right? not a gymnast cuz his froms a bit sketchy

[sfbongang]

youll break your neck if you don't do what he told you so..

[freetyla07]

i can do them now! first day! thankyou so much i couldnt of done it without you!!

lol jks i learnt it by myself with a mattress and 100 cushions (:

seriously, once you get the balls to do it the first time, its easy.
