[@Brisbae]

I did a backflip for the first time today and it was pretty easy, I nailed it the first time without wimping out or anything. I recommend learning it on a trampoline first, because it is safe if you mess up. Once I was good at the backflip on the trampoline, when I went to do my backflip on flat ground. I used a really good banger and did it on the bass drop. Do it the first time, be bold, because the longer you wait the scarier it becomes

[@blakehaua3360]

Brisbae ok

[@ymatthew2045]

Bro that last sentence you said is so true

Thanks you Tapp, I've been lately looking for backflips tutorial, and I came across this. I got to say this is by far the best explained backflip tutorial I've seen out there on KZbin, you guys are so intelligent and very smart, I've been following you're steps and the results are incredible! I just want to say thanks you very much Tapp! From - Alvin.

+Holly Davidson look at how you pull your head in when doing a front roll. If still you are afraid go to a pool and do it. That should help.

GUYS I AM MID WAY THROUGH LEARNING ONE, YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO DO IT ON A TRAMP

[@Mightyfish_]

It's weird because I can jump as high as I want in a swimming pool and always land on my feet but I can't do it on the ground. I feel like my brain knows that I won't hurt myself as badly if I was in water then if I was on the ground. I know I can do it, but my body and brain won't accept me from doing a backflip on the ground.

[@supramusic9667]

You can do the land and roll over trick, to land over 10 feet high or higher. Cool right?

[@dh1086]

*"Do It"

[@ashleyrobinson9373]

[@danpearman270]

Thanks for another great video guys! In addition to the back bridge, 'camel pose' from yoga may help with the flexibility - kneel on the floor with your thighs straight up (so not sitting on your heels), push your hips forward and arch your back as far back as you can. If you have the flexibility, try to grab your ankles while you do it. (If you can't reach yet, just put your hands on the back of your hips to help push them forward and give your back a little support.)

[@TappBrothers]

+Dan Pearman Great addition ;) Thanks for sharing

[@arandompersonontheinternet3600]

Itz Emz if you can easily do it landing legs straight and no tuck on tramp, you can do it if you can tuck really hard and get loads of height, get something soft and do it onto that, and when you can land that you take it away and do it
