How to do a Backflip / Back Tuck Tutorial | Flat Ground

How to do a Backflip / Back Tuck Tutorial | Flat Ground
For all you gymnasts, traceurs, freerunners, bboys, tumblers, cheerleaders, and trickers, here's a short, detailed tutorial on how to do a backflip or back tuck on flat surfaces like grass or concrete. Getting over the fear of a back tuck is difficult, but it can be accomplished even without a trampoline. In general, backflips tend to rely more on technique rather than on power and weight. Hopefully, this tutorial will teach you how to learn a back flip. :)
Good Luck!

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]

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! :)

[@TheBeastyGamer3000]

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]

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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@alexfooty_]

Best tutorial yet. Much respect 🙂 I am gonna try

[@ThePanda1503]

Hey man I finally was able to get it and it was awesome, the biggest trouble that I had was actually having and confidence and throwing it, your instruction helped a lot

[@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!

[@salarkhan3615]

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

[@mistacommentz3811]

I can do them pretty good now, I took it step by step by going from trampoline to mattress to small pad to ground. This vid is good

[@gagewesemann8805]

This was amazing and so helpful!! Thank you!!

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Awesome! Congratz! I'm glad I could help!

[@EpicBladesPlays]

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!

[@aimeegollan4064]

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

[@Felixx0150]

After 3 day, I can make it, thanks christopher. You tutorial are sonclear and well explained.

[@lifestylekiddosadventures4488]

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

[@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!

[@hlqa7938]

great stuff Chris!! Thanx!!

[@amanimartin2490]

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

[@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

[@saffron9157]

This video is awesome

[@sohsrilr1263]

wow, thx you actually helped me to land! well i was struggling with the landing but tysm

[@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

[@revanthrockstar602]

[@2NoobsAndAStick]

Thanks!!

[@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!

[@lewiscollins1604]

you really help I've landed a BACKFLIP and a front flip Cuz of you

[@destinyallen3298]

Thank you so much I did it o my first try!! I just need better landing

[@azikim8817]

Your the best fliper in the world i learnd backflip from you

[@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!

[@thefallen8019]

Finally i decided to try backflip i can't land it correctly all times but i keep practicing it :)

[@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! :)

[@ChristopherTungFlips]

Haha, thanks! I hope it helped!

[@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?

[@anorange1382]

Yo I’m not even gonna lie you helped me in prove my backflip so much

[@deeveshsookun8004]

you are so kind and with you i have got my backflip////
