HOW TO BACKFLIP STEPS:

1: Understand that you should not flip unless you are properly prepared and have proper supervision.

2: You need to be able to get as much hight as possible (make sure not to throw your head back, It will ruin your chance at getting hight)

3: Using your arms (No BENT elbows) and your legs together jump straight up.

4: Now that you are in the air slam your knees up to your chest.

5: As your body starts to rotate over let your knees rotate to your hands and grab your shins and tuck as tight as possible.

6: Look back and spot the ground

7: Time it right and start to release your legs and untuck. (Try not to open to early.)

8: Land on the balls of your feet with bent knees and lightly absorb the impact.

Please post any video responses or questions you may have on doing a back flip. Remember it is very important that you prepare for this trick and only attempt it when you are ready to fully commit to the move.

  • Okay so when I jump straight up should my body be straight or should I arch my back a little?

    And when you say tuck at my highest peak, is it too late? Should I tuck a second before I get to my highest peak? And also, let's say I did the technique correctly on a mattress ( don't have a trampoline ) will I land on my head?

  • Well that's if Jesse accepts it :L
