Christopher Tung thanks bro you really helped me out with my backflip

[@eclipsefreerunning0118]

Dang the height you get on your backflips are insane!

[@LukeFlipzs]

LemonMemberz ikr

[@lookherelooklisten7850]

EclipseFreerunning this must be your first time seeing someone doing a backflip then, cause that is average normal height that you have to have to do a backflip, if u don't go high enough u know what happens

[@deathstroke7394]

william Werner Yeah that's why he got 137 likes

[@servin28zz73]

@@lookherelooklisten7850 this isn't the average height💀 he komes out of the backflip standing with his shoulders and head straight up. This guys height is insane. You'd be a fool to say this is average backflip height

[@imaneseddiki8532]

IKR! 😂

[@mikahthecorncake3153]

i like how he lands every one he says is bad

[@JamesDayleyMusic]

That's why he calls it perfecting your backflip :)

[@flakers-blue2542]

[@ftbdotz325]

The only thing I can do hear is hold my head😂

[@Billy-le1mo]

Dude you get so much height on your backflips

[@adgamez1311]

just train your legs and core and you will get even more height!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey everyone! This video is a little different from my typical videos, but let me know if it's something y'all like! Keep on rockin' and stay flippin' awesome. :)

[@spencerfaber880]

Your comment was so beautiful that I had to like it.

[@calvinducharme]

Christopher videos like these make KZbin great. So straightforward, so to-the-point. So informative yet 3 minutes long. Thank you.

[@flaviuscolto6391]

No one teaches better than you the backflip, god bless you!

[@nastynation2639]

Is the throwing back your head thing what causes sore abs because after I do about 5 backflips my abs are as sore as hell the next day!

[@highfivesumit]

@@nastynation2639 strengthen your core by different core exercises....and I think you might be bending back while doing it which causes too much strain on stomach 😊

[@andrewjmes]

Hey Christopher! I have the problem of actually throwing my hips forward so I actually do a little bit of a gainer. Any tips or drills I could do to break this habit? Thanks!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey! I would really focus on your take-off. Practice the stretch jump and make sure your weight is balanced evenly. It's important to open up your hips, but don't open up your hips too far to where your back begins to arch (this is how a gainer might happen). Hope this helps!

[@ParkourAYCE]

I also made a blog on 5 steps to get a higher backflip, its on my website

[@xael1910]

[@campbellssoup8227]

All of your tips helped me to finally land it on the ground instead of constantly landing on all fours. Thank you so much for the help!

[@OSeanSanO]

This is so perfect because my friend asked me to help him out with his backflips tomorrow at open gym! :D Im definitely going to reference this video a lot! Thanks :)

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

That's awesome!! I hope it goes well; I'm glad I can be a resource. :)

[@habibhassan7770]

Did he learn the flip?

[@OSeanSanO]

@@habibhassan7770 unfortunately nope :/ he wasn't as dedicated to it when he had a couple falls so the fear took over. I had multiple friends I'd try teaching and usually they all get scared, open up mid flip and dong complete the rotation. It's tough! I dont blame them and I wish I could have been a better teacher. Even with trampolines and mats, they just couldnt do it because of fear, however they lacked leg power so it's just too many factors that played into it

[@habib_rahman5]

@@OSeanSanO how high would you need to jump atleast to do a backflip, I don't wanna rush into it so what would be a good height to start with

[@OSeanSanO]

@@habib_rahman5 backflip is combination between height and flip rotation. FEAR usually makes a person have a very low jump, and their power in rotation is usually weak as a beginner. So I'd say work on strengthening hip flexors and abs first. Look up gymnastic ab exercises. Then you can work on height. Which is hard to say based on body length. If you're skinny and small, you dont need to focus on your jump as much because the force you can produce will be easier. If you're tall or large, then you'll really need to cut weight if fat or get a solid tuck for that rotation at whatever height. The more you practice in safe environments like into foam pits or trampoline, the safer and more comfortable you'll be. Always warm up before and stretch after. Stretch abs A LOT. People sit a lot nowadays. So hips and abs are tight. Do the cobra/upward dog stretch or bridge if you can. Those stretches can give you mobility that generates more power in the long run for learning back flip. Theres not much I can tell you though comments, but I hope this gives you a good idea

[@eastonlaurence]

I really needed this tutorial! Thanks man and keep it up!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Glad it helped!! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@kevinoyson3868]

thank you so much for making your tutorials detailed ! it really helps

[@liams9826]

Just tried some backflips and landed straight on my head. Wish I knew these tips. I'll try another when my neck feels better! Merry Christmas!

[@TechnologyKnowledger]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@zweez1800]

I love this guy, he explains everything that I need in ONLY 3 MINUTES. That is very good.

[@willkim1743]

Watching this video made me realised that I actually make a few of these mistakes every time I do back tucks. Thank you so much for a really helpful tutorial.

[@Z_hri]

Chris thanks a lot you helped me perfect my backflip. Your awesome

[@shanelee3365]

Thanks alot dude, this video rly helped point out the jumping backwards part for my flip

[@ludwigharisuo6261]

I literally learned to do a backflip 10 hours ago (though on a trampoline), so this is the perfect video to improve my backflip!

[@DaneDePain]

Same that’s why I’m here

[@Ukiya44]

I'm gonna save months of making mistakes over and over again thanks to you. My backflip isn't that terrible but there are small mistakes I wasn't even aware of. I was wondering why is it so exhausting for me to do a backflip and I even if I put 100% of my energy I barely land on feet. Now I know. Thanks 👍

[@OuterWorldMovement]

this helped a lot thanks. im trying to learn backflip on ground,i already know how to do it on the tramp, but to do it on ground is almost impossible for me so this helped alot

[@octavio362]

Now I see what's wrong with my backflips, those arms and hips tips will be really useful. Thank you

[@katt5770]

Ah! Are you starting to upload again? I'm so glad! Your videos really helped me with my backflip!

[@yasashiihito29]

I once was a parkour & freerunning athlete and trained with your tutorial videos. I miss the old me . Anyway thanks for you to teach me with your videos😍😍

[@zephyrgaming6703]

Great video, you know you are really good at backflips because you can make all of the common mistakes on purpose and still control it so you don't hurt yourself! Thumbs up

[@harijsmiezitis2646]

You speak really clear not like the most KZbinrs you helped me a lot now I can land backflip very easy! Thanks!

[@elliotkent2800]

I love the way he's so good he can do the mistakes and still land it

[@sarahwang2867]

Just watching your backflip gives me inspiration

[@santi044]

Thank youuu! Finally a video that ACTUALLY helps!

[@ninjanudel7357]

glad you're uploading again

[@jadinwemette8251]

This is a perfect explanation of exactly what to do. The only thing that can't be shown is the feeling of understanding exactly what you're learning until you experience it first hand with practice. I got on a trampoline and can land front flips easily but was afraid of going backwards for the backflip. After about 5 min of psyching myself out I went for it and landed one 3rd try. It was a mess and I had no idea what just happened except that I did it. So I kept practicing and over 3 days of practice I finally landed one that just felt perfect, I could feel all the right movements at the right angles come full circle and instead of not knowing what went on I could feel way more in control of it now and do it every try with no fear. The preload arm swing back and then up and the upper body just jumps and flows with the arms momentum, simultaneously I looked straight ahead just slightly higher exactly like in this video and once my arms were at the top of my jump and I felt the ride up I just pulled a cannonball knee grab and leaned back like a chair and hold. Bam the perfect backflip. I cannot express enough how much the "feeling" of each move much be felt in practice before really understanding how to do this.

[@jameschan7038]

This is the best backflip tutorial I've seen so far! It helps me a lot.

[@isoldalba8541]

Thank you for this! I started practicing a back tuck today and I realized I was doing mistake number 1

Bro you literally explode off the ground. Insane. Great video by the way, I was throwing my hands up but not bringing them in- I thought moving my hands down to grab and tuck would decrease my speed, but it helps you tuck a lot easier.
