How to do a backflip or back tuck

Jump and swing your arms forward to increase the height of your jump. Swing your arms all the way up to your ears. Always jump straight up, also known as a vertical jump..
Never jump backwards, or you will fall.
Remember to not look down.
Use your swinging arms to get the maximum height you can on the vertical jump.


At the pinnacle (top) of your jump begin to roll.


Bring your legs up into the tuck.
The combined momentum of the muscles in your legs, your arms swinging up and your knees tucking in, while always keeping your gaze forward is what creates the mid-air roll.


Complete the tuck by moving your arms forward to touch your legs.
Some people tuck their arms under their knees.
Some people put their arms above their legs.
Don't put your arms on your butt.


Use your arm strength to "pull on your knees" to aid the roll. Eventually you should not need to do this.


Begin to extend your lower back towards the landing.


Bend your knees again as you land.


A good landing is where both feet contact the ground at the same time with the whole foot. If you land on your heels, you over rotated and are likely to fall or have to step backward. If you land very far forward on the balls of your feel, you under rotated and will likely need to step forward.


Landing in the same spot you jumped from is excellent form.




WARNINGS:

After initially learning how to back tuck, abdominal soreness may occur. Do not stretch these muscles, as they may tear and will take more time to heal than if left unstretched.


Injury, paralysis, and even death may occur as a result of improper conduct.


Never attempt this move under the influence of alcohol or drugs.


Never do backflips when you are alone. If you were to hurt your neck or back then you might not be able to get help.


Always have a spotter or a coach to help you when performing a stunt

@ihateusernamesblahh it actually is a back tuck because he tucked it doesn't matter if he stays in one spot or moves back.

[rokongirl465]

that was gayyy!

[ihateusernamesblahh]

This isn't even a back tuck. In a back tuck you squeeze your body and keep your head in the same spot. You never fling your head back like what this guy did.
