Thanks man! I really appreciate the feedback haha. I will definitely make some more tutorials! I definitely agree with you though. Most of the stunts and tricks I learned were through online videos. :) Good luck!

Dude I can finally backflip all thanks to you

no way

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Denise Ionescu If you have it on the spring floor, you should be able to do it on the grass. :) Try getting a friend to spot you so you have that "security". That's what helped me out when I first started. After you get comfortable, you can try doing them without a spotter. When it come to throwing your head back, try looking at something in front of you, a little bit upwards, then look at that object for as long as you can before looking backwards to spot the ground. Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

[@oldaccount01-e4s]

I can't tuck whenever I try an do the flip I land on my back what should i do?

[@rohanyadav7565]

me too

[@boulder_dude]

nooby gamer I recommend just practicing bringing your knees to your chest before proceeding with the flip. Do several reps of just jumping and bring your knees to your nipples, grab your shins, release and extend to land. Repeat this without flipping, just jumping. Then proceed to the flip when you get used to the motion of tucking.

[@superstarcreepercreeper5294]

I can do a front flip but not a back flip more paractices makes perfect!!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to throw this out there: If you leave a comment on the video asking me a question, make sure that, in your settings, other users are able to reply to your comments. - (If you haven't already), you can enable this by "allowing anyone" to comment on your public posts via Google+ settings.

[@Machoman720]

I was wondering, I can front flip, side flip, cart full, cart to side flip, almost front handspring to front flip, working on websters and losers, and I can standing high jump pretty dang well. After I get over a minor setback injury, how well ought I to do this on my first try? I need confirmation from somebody who's good at it to know if I still have high chances of landing on my head or not. My basic tricks and tumbles should gather my strength, but would it be just as any other person in retrospect?

[@jahufitco9658]

Samuel Walker u should first practise back rools and using your legs

[@Machoman720]

Dude, I do back roll pikes. Do you know what those are?

[@nate.talbytalbot8986]

hey I've been trying backflips for a while and have been doing many off of things such as tables concrete blocks and bails but I can't seem to get the height for a flat backflip and my form is decent to say the least it might just be a height thing seeing as I'm only 13 and are 5,2 but I'll keep trying great vid love your style

[@hawamohamed4375]

hey u are the best fliper and i learned my backflip thank..........

[@Machoman720]

Legit stuff man. I learned this today. They're a lot of fun and they scare the crap out of me.

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey man! I actually learned it on the trampoline first. After getting familiar with the motion on a tramp, I then had a friend spot me on the ground. After he spotted me once, I was able to start doing them on my own. It was really useful in breaking my fear of doing it haha. Hopefully this helps!

[@armstrongturbo]

Great tutorial. You hit on all the key techniques of doing a backflip. I've been trying to find a tutorial to show my friend and this is the first one I've found that's most in-depth. Keep it up!

[@CitronKakan]

Umm... I'm having trouble with the confidence part lol

[@phyllissataylor3447]

Same

[@MaydayKeeper]

This might be a little late But you can learn a Macaco to help your progress into a backflip Just look up a vid of it I'm sure you'll get it the first try It's for your body to get used to the motion of flipping backwards

[@emiicrossing7576]

Rela same

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

If you don't have mats, I would recommend finding a gymnastics center near you that offers open gym. Otherwise, grab some old pillows or an old mattress and have a friend spot you! Good luck! Stay safe!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

I certainly believe it's possible! Once I had a standing backflip on a trampoline (which is really quite easy), I was able to quickly learn a standing backflip on the grass with the help of a spotter (in one day). So definitely! Just be safe and don't push yourself too much to where you get injured. Good luck! :)

[@aimeegollan4064]

Your backtuck is actually so good especially comparing to other tutorials !!

[@makevlog4623]

Just did my first backflip on theground with out any injuries , for me the hardest part was swingging my hands and at the same time and jump , it was only about timing , i always landed on my legs but hands landed on theground too , i know my english suck , but any way thanks a lot ! , and do you have any tips to corkscrew , i mean its so scary move , how to start practice it safely ?

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Awesome dude! The corkscrew can be a difficult move. i would recommend practicing a cheat gainer and a butterfly twist. Make sure you think of the move as a "back full" in a sense. :)

[@ameliewelshh]

I have da same arm problem oof

[@TheZephyrust]

This tutorial is great! Both informative and entertaining, I think you should definitely continue with some B-boy, parkour, and tricking tutorials. As a new tricker myself, the internet is probably one of my better resources, so keep it up!

[@maddygrabham136]

This really helped me advance from a back handspring to a back flip. I can do it after a round off and stick it. Thanks so much :D

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Being nervous is normal (I was pretty scared haha). If you are just starting, make sure you have a buddy with you and some crash mats. That will help a lot with both safety and fear. Next, try learning it on maybe a trampoline first so you can get a feel for it before attempting the move. When on the ground, you can try doing macacos to break the fear (look those up). Eventually, have somebody there to help you over (spot you) so that you can begin doing them on the ground. :) Good Luck!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey man! I would probably recommend that you have some back flipping experience, whether it be on a trampoline or spotted on the ground, so that you have a basic understanding of what the movement feels like. But, It you are feeling confident and have some mats, feel free to give it a shot! :) I don't have a front flip tutorial out atm, but I'll add it to my to do list haha.

[@QuotidianPerfection]

Hi Christopher Tung, Your explanation of the back tuck, although laconic, touched upon all the bio mechanical points concerning the progressions needed to master that particular skill. The video footage is synched perfectly to the movements, and links concrete to conceptual information wonderfully. Personally, I stand 5'9," and weigh 204 lbs., but still can manage to get a standing back tuck off a trampoline, and do the same off a tumble track with three bounces. My difficulty is timing my vertical--fortunately, I tuck well, and spin fast enough to compensate for my subpar jumps. I'm close to accomplishing the skill; however, others are far from their objective, and would benefit greatly from viewing this upload. Take care, QP

[@salarkhan3615]

In my opinion this is the best backflip tutorial I’ve ever watched because it only took me 5 minutes thanks Christopher

[@AdrenalinePeaks]

I completely taught myself. started indoors with a fold out chair that was soft and moved to the grass the next day. it's still not perfect but I can do it now!

[@Cazboy1o]

Hey, thanks for the great tutorial. I've gotten to where I can land on my knees onto a mattress. I find it hard to throw my arms up and tuck at the same time. Either I can tuck, but my arms don't throw up. Or, I throw my arms and I don't tuck very tight. I feel like if I can just get both of those motions down together, I'd land it. Any tips?

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Oooh, there could be a couple of problems then. You might not be jumping high enough or tucking hard enough (maybe even both). Practice jumping in place and bringing your knees up to your chest. Try tucking as hard as you can - as if you were a cannonball. Video yourself and compare your form to that of a slowmotion one. Also, if tucking is hard, try doing some core workouts such as sit-ups or reverse crunches. Hope this helps!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Haha, my pleasure! :) Sure! I'll check it out!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! Yeah, If you are trying to take off more vertically, staring at something when you take off for as long as you can (setting) will help a lot! But, one thing that helped me a ton was I thought of doing a gainer (don't actually do a gainer). Instead, when you backflip don't squat backwards before taking off, jump straight up and push your hips forward during the backflip. I hope this helps! Good luck! I'll check out your channel haha. xD

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Hey bud! Sorry for the late response, I've been really busy lately. Trying it while you are at home alone could be dangerous. It'd probably be best to have someone nearby to help you out if something goes wrong. Good Luck!

[@TheElemantal]

That was a great tutorial; it was exactly what I was looking for. You are awesome for not only being able to do that, but it is nice that you share the knowledge of how to do right. Cool.

[@alexpuchalski]

Best tutorial yet. Much respect 🙂 I am gonna try

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Oh boy haha. When you mess up, it is possible to injure yourself in a couple of different ways. However, the chance of landing on your head or anything like that is almost impossible if you fully commit to the flip - meaning you don't open up in the air early (Just keep holding). If you want to minimize risk of injury, I would try this with a partner there who can spot you and try this over a soft surface like a crash mat or even just some squishy grass. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

[@stevengoldie12]

How do you get over the fear i mean i can do a backflip on a trampoline im just nervous to do it on the ground and i really want to please help

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Getting over the fear is one of the most difficult parts about learning new skills. When you move to the ground, in order to help allay fears, try using a mattress/crash-mat, a spotter, or a pit (at a gymnastics center). Hope this helps! Good luck!

[@stevengoldie12]

hello! i am a cheerleader and have my tryouts very soon. a standing tuck is mandatory for the level i want to be on. your video was awesome and you are very talented. i wish my height was like yours in the flip. whenever i attempt it by myself i am very motivated and try really hard but every time i try it by myself, i freak out in the middle and then crash on my knees. i have a tumbling coach who spots me and i got used to him spotting me so much and now i wont be able to do it alone no matter how much i try.. :( any advice? thanks for the video.

This is the best tutorial that I saw in my life so thank you bro Chris

[@amanimartin2490]

I am thinking about starting to learn how do a backflip and this video really helps me get started. Thanks!

[@RivetingMaterial]

Hey, guys. So I've been working on doing a backflip like this for (ugh) four days now. Progress has been slow to say the least. As a climber I pride myself on being somewhat brave and willing to push myself. I have more than enough height in my jump and I've pretty much memorized the method in this video. But for some reason, I'm having a huge issue getting over my head. When I jump I get pretty much on my back and then I have an intense gut reaction that stops me from following through. I have had friends flip me over to see how it feels but I still have the same issue. The farthest I ever get is landing on the back of my neck (I have crash mats thank god). I'm still trying but if anyone could help in any way my appreciation would be immense. At this rate i will take several days before I even land on my front side.

[@gowthamadari2029]

Did u learn it finally

[@edlost9668]

this is the best tutorial, i wached this once and was able to get it on my third try...great vid man

[@slacker4rent]

If you have a pool and a diving board this makes a great training tool, get to where you can do it from the board then move to starting at the edge of the pool, then when you can land it a few inches above the water you ready to try it on the grass.

[@Billan123]

This is the best how to backflip video I've seen, cheers!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Thanks bud!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Height can present a challenging issue. :\ Generally, as with most flips, it tends to be more difficult the taller you are. However, I know plenty of 6'3"+ people who can do this trick. Just practice hard and remember, safety first! :) Good Luck!

[@TH3lilFR0]

Spending my night judging peoples back tuck tutorials for teaching people wrong, but this one's actually good and had good explanation and demonstration! The only other thing I'd have mentioned would be gaining rotation by throwing hips! But a good tutorial nonetheless!

Hey Christopher I love your vids. Just a question though; what would you call these type of tricks? Is it like parkour, gymnastics, break dancing etc. I only ask this cos I wanna learn how to do them but am too scared to try by myself in case I get hurt and would like some expert help. There is a leisure centre near me but I don't really want to do like gymnastics stuff....

Hey how would you get over the fear of doing a back flip I've bein doing them for 1year now and I'm still scared to do it on ground

[@salimd4575]

Same here bro, you need to practise it with a mate first, on the beach or on the grass. Your friend should help you less and less, and you should focus on jumping high mostly, cause he is there to help you with the rotation. After 10-15 tests, he should just let his hand on your back but not helping you at all. Then you will do it on your own.

[@MrGh0StR1D3R22]
