I cant backflip but i can do this into my pool???? Should i probly learn a backflip for better chance of lading it on ground or something?????

[Epic1]

@InThisMomment it's not 100% necessary but there's no doubt that doing so can help.

Hey Bro whats up man. I'm the kid from the parkour class in NYC! IT was cool meeting ya. I got the arabian today bro! When r u coming back to NYC?

i wanna try this..i have my back tuck and layout..and i wanna get this so i can try practicing on my full twist. but i don't have a front tuck or anything..do you think i could still be able to do it with out being able to do a front flip?

[Epic1]

@classypinklipstick for a full twist, hit up a foam pit... throw a backflip, n soon as ur feet leave the ground, "PUNCH UR ARMPIT" .... dont literally but, tryign to do so will make that full twist happen... as for the arabian.... it's challenging without the frontflip, cuz u gotta be used to coming out of it like a frontflip, and without that muscle memory it may look more like a sideflip.

"I'm Epic..." Yes you are! :) Great tutorial Epic, it has helped a lot mate. :)

i can do a decent front flip (standing) but my back flip is like non existent. i know im more than fit enough to execute a flawless one but whenever i try i fail. its either i dont jump high enough or dont tuck fast enough....or both. any help?? a simple back flip is all that is keeping me from bring able to pull off at least a decent arabian. thats frustrating considerin a front tuck is considerably more difficult than the back tuck. again any advice????

[spadesishere]

I asked about the arabian during ur live chat.. And now i know y i couldnt do it.. I was thinkin a little less armpit punch instead of shoulder twist..

@martincro3 try doing back pullovers until you are comfortable enough to do a backflip
