@talhahassan27 Never do it on your own until you feel comfortable enough. You don't want to get hurt. Join a gymnastics gym or a martial arts club to help you. Other than that: strech your back by going into a bridge position to improve your flexibility. Practice a lot of handstands. Jump over high obstacles.

@talhahassan27 When you do it, throw you hands as fast backwards as you can and look back the whole way until you see the ground. The trick is to jump back AFTER your arms have passed your head, in other words when the arching begins. I also have some problems with that, i need to spot the ground faster. It's also a lot safer to see where your landing. Keep practicing and post a video response of your progression!

@emilwestin and one more question l will send u a video of my progression later ok when l can find my body rotating and l want to ask u something l will throw my arms back as fast as l can and l look back and jump?

@talhahassan27 yeah. look at your hands the whole time. looking forward to see you progress. train safely.

I am SO scared to do them!! Do you have any tips?

[emilwestin]

@bmxoxo1103 Get a spotter to help you, that will give you a lot of confidence. Practice on soft surfaces. :)
