Progression of my back flip...

I'm happy that I can do it unassisted on flat ground now, although I have already smacked my face and my knee (ouch!). Right now, it's just to try and jump up, not back!

nice dude. now u need to get it on grass. its so much mor of an adrenalin punch wen u can just be walking with ur frends and just do a random flip lol

Thanks man. Since then I've already been doing it on a wooden floor, the beach, and carpeted floor. Still need to nail jumping "up" not back... tore a muscle in my abdomen which is preventing me from practising more. Bummer! but I'm still stoked! :)

whoa! looks like you nailed the back flip.

[Swampster101]

Getting better each time. But still trying to build confidence. :) If you scrutinize the flip, you'll see that i'm still jumping back, not entirely up. Jumping up is what I want to achieve! :) But yeah... i'm not complaining... :)

Good job, Swamp... the important thing is that you have the concept of jumping *UP*... not back.

If you notice... nearly EVERY acro/tricking move needs vert, vert, VERT (or horiz converted into vertical) in order to succeed. This is true of b-twists, double-legs, aerials, fwd tucks, etc.
