How to do a backflip

[XOFlipNinjaOX]

lol that was cool what you did at the end, teach me! lol

[gangster918]

lets give you a clap you know how to spell helmet

[gangster918]

ahahahahaha you really think all you have to do is jump 50 cm of tha ground i dont know how high but its higher tha 50 cm

[XXLMadness]

explain how the hell I just didi it then!

[nrumack]

Lol kinda funny coments here can't people just watch without bitching

[calebwatt35010]

ae wat u on about u dont need to jump high you jst hav ta flip and tuck u helmat

[XXLMadness]

yeah, wen U kno how to do 1...

wen U'r "learning how to do a backflip", it's a good idea 2 jump high to avoid landing on Ur face...

and it's spelled "helmet"

[123backflip]

how high do your feet have to come off the ground? to be able to bring your body around like 50 cm? or alot more?

[XXLMadness]

this might suprise U but I've never actualy been able to mesure how high I was, at the same time as doing a flip. I've atempted many times but failed miserably (I kept landing on the ruler)... no seriously, I'm not too sure, sorry... U need 2 B able 2 jump fairly high, and U need to B well coordinated... U need 2 jump high ENOUGH, lol...

I'm 14 now and i've been able to succesfully land a backflip on a trampoline since i was 9 but how different does it feel to do it on the ground ??

[XXLMadness]

it's scarier and quicker! u sould be able to flip without jumping first...

[1DiVa209]

wow do you have to have to have alot of skill or what???

DAYMMMM I CAN'T JUMP THAT HIGH!!! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET STARTED?!!??!

[XXLMadness]

well I suggest starting on mats or on a trampoline, at least to get the feeling of it...

[r44cker]

and take those huge shoes of

[XXLMadness]

sorry man, I've got big feet...

[Dancerlicious44]

thats waz good now i can do it!!! yayyyy me!!

[XXLMadness]

yay you! lol

[Cavin21]

dude thats scary! is it possible to try on a mattress?

[XXLMadness]

U can try anywhere but I'd suggest: pools, trampolines, and gym mats (safest)

[r44cker]

you're saying the opposite thing of the shit that jujimufu tells you, well, that says alot about your experience in tricking..

[XXLMadness]

Do wat the hell U want, I kno he says there's no point but the fact of the matter is there's a good chance U'll cock up Ur first try, if U wanna do it on solid ground go ahead!

[stievalknieval]

did u just wing it?

[XXLMadness]

well kinda, it's about 10% skill, 90% balls...

[Bluegalia]

I can do a backhandspring but everytime I try to do a backflip I don't tuck even if I try really really hard.  I don't know what it is. I can do it on a trampoline really easily. Just standing still on the trampoline and doing a backflip, the tuck and all? Help?

[XXLMadness]

I guess it's not the dreaded "fear" lol (if it is U just need 2 get over it)...

R U underotating?

if so the main thing is :coordination, practise (it gets a lot easier), and proper warm up and rest (dont go over the top)...

let me kno if U need more help

[technofr3ak100]

lol kk kk yea im soon gonna start gymnastics so i'll try n get it down i got the front flip down but but landings pretty bad ill master it :] thx

[technofr3ak100]

man i h8 u i wanna do that im just scared imma bust my shit and be paralized THEN I NVR GET TO DO THAT

[XXLMadness]

wow wow wow!

cool it, I was scared too!

to get rid of the fear, try it into pools, foam pits, try it on gym mats, trampolines...

it want help U in teknique but it'll get rid of the fear...

first time U try it, do it with a spotter so he can spin U round if u'r gunno go "splat!"

I thought I'd never do it, then I just got tired of doubting in myself...

[Evyatar122]

man i wanna do it but i cant jump backwords :(

[XXLMadness]

pratis into water, on a trampoline... mayB try it with a big mat to start with, get really siked and focused and if U really dont feel good about it DON'T do it... B ready! U'll get there, I was exactly the same...

xxl

[kagolko]

thanks for that..

[mattclarkson26021]

u need 2 jump up cus ur jumpin back and make the tuck tighter

[XXLMadness]

yeah I kno that now, lol

I just cant B botherd to make another 1...

U need to listen to the explination on this one but watch the flip on my other videos :-P

[affq]

cool

[Ortmoniz]

One question, does it matter how tall you are? There's alot of discussion going on and it all points at you should be a short guy. what do you think?

[XXLMadness]

what the hell??? well Ive never tried it as a tall and a short guy sorry... I don't think it really matters... sure if Ur a huge thin 2m tall skyscraper it'll probably B harder and if Ur a midgit it might also B dificult but big tall fat small the main thing is to B fit enough (not bragging) to through Urself into the air high enough to rotate :-S

I guess it would B eassiest for a regular hight and build... but I dont really kno...

[moaaleitele]

not bad

[juseliaaa]

so crappy :P joke i saw ur comment on the other how to do a backflip but u doing pretty well

[XXLMadness]

oh the landing on the flip is true crap I landed like 1m away from where I took-off!!! but that was only the third day and I can't be botherd to do another video, lol... I can do them alot higher now and I can land in front of where I took-off :)

[juseliaaa]

good job

[XXLMadness]

feel free to say how crap I am...

[shanti614]
