Learn a backflip! 🤸🏼‍♂️

Make sure you do it safely, use soft surfaces, and don’t forget to swing your arms!
Do at your own risk!

kicked my spotter in the face and knocked my teeth out with my knees, went pretty well.

[@nate_stunting4293]

I had that when i was 13. And that was on a trampoline. From then, i sticked with frontflips😂😂

Omg

[@Useruser-yo4rv]

but you still did it . that's the good thing 😂😂😂 hope you're well now and your spotter😅

[@WhattheheckwasAnimorphs]

My brother did this and he is still laying down stunned!!! He hasn’t moved in the last hour!

[@iangunther]

Nooooo

[@firelight9295]

why do you sound so excited about that with all the exclamation marks? 😂

[@boodledemic6430]

Rip

[@Moon4Ev3r]

Wow! That sounds amazing! He must’ve been super tired! Doing a backflip can do that! He’s probably just sleeping!

[@nugsalot]

Note it's also a lot easier for men to learn than women. For women you need to get your hips over your head because it's your center of gravity. Men just need to pull their knees over their chest. It's harder and a bit different but not impossible, happy tumbling!

[@Kat-ef2zo]

Have I ever wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of doing a backflip YES 😸

[@greatpug5706]

Tf u use the cat for

[@saraquill]

I used to do front and back flips in swimming pools. Water slows my fall, and I can propel myself with my arms.

[@nubee2bee580]

Finding a spotter that won't break your neck is not an easy task.

[@yakuzzi35]

Joined an adult gymnastics class because of this channel. The exercises are killing me 😅

[@charlenewalters8032]

i so wish this was around 45 yrs ago. love

[@jesstea08]

Thank you for actually posting the proper way to get a backflip. I’ve been a coach for 17 years, and I hate seeing videos that make it seem like a quick process. If gymnastics was easy, everyone would do it.

[@SusieQ3]

Never have I ever wanted to do a backflip. However I have a little who is in gymnastics. We can practice the first few steps at home, so thank you ❤

[@jumpinjohnnyruss]

I'm not about to try this, but I'm smiling at all the people who are going to learn to backflip because of this video. What a fun thing.

[@SimplyMTB1]

I hope next vid is about learning how to do a triple double on flat🍀🤞

[@stevelapierre4776]

Crikey.. thank you for this.. Years ago I tried...hmm but mid air I panicked and fell and broke a finger and was at the beach.. next time with FOAM!!!

[@Gracie_heart]

I’m a fast learner and the very first day my gymnastics coach started to teach me I got it, I first did it floor to the pit then I tried on a soft mat and landed it so at the end of class I tried on floor and landed btw my coach didn’t have to spot me on time, I know can do a RBH tuck😁🎉(I’m more advance then the other girls in my class so they were working backhand springs)

[@Iixiehooniev]

I was hoping it wasn't like Khoi's front flip one 😂

[@Urfav_11]

Pretty much how I learned but it took years for my coach to teach me😂

[@champions8862]

I learned a backflip when I was 11 by myself, but like a year before that I got spotted and landed on my back without them even touching me. That was one of my first ever backflips

[@jmatt4life]

Good instructional video!

[@afergie76]

I’ve always wanted to learn how to do it. Yes, I can jump higher then that foot. But after steps two, I’d probably break a hip or a leg.

[@ChristineKrannich]

Huh. I should probably learn to do a forward and backward roll straight first, maybe? 😂😂😂 If I’d had this when my kids were young, I would have taught them! Great instructions! Appreciate the spotter tip, too.

[@anevabay9771]

Thanks for helping us gulfill our dreams. IAN❤

[@escorpianoyqueee]

my childhood dream was to do Flick Flacks like a ninja and with 40 years old now, I think I did almost a million of them in my whole life. So... satisfied 100%.

[@PKQueen2096]

Step 3- Backward roll Step 4- Backflip

One of my fears is doing backflips into A foam pit lol

[@avababa1348]

Thank you i think i needed this😂❤

[@janinas1121]

I'm an old woman (okay not really old, 29 years) and I NEVER wanted to do a backflip, never even thought about it. But now it seems so easy that I really want to try it. 😂

[@skyehunter24]

I've only done a back flip off a diving board. Standing backflips scare me lol

[@Happinessss13]

Not me taking 6 steps. Trying to do a backflip.

[@user-u2h37]

Thanks I’m gonna practise tmrw! ❤

[@dagmarboldt]

This reminds me of those unrealistic drawing tutorials that went viral where you go from 3 lines to Mona Lisa in 1 step… rolling over your back is faaaaar away from doing a backflip

[@tyroyals]

Not that easy to do for everyone but true

[@ChynaSummers]

Learning how to do it in 6 steps in a 60 second video: Landing it after a year or 2 from falling on your face:

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

I think I'll try this when swimming lol

[@thumbs9829]

Spotting rule from someone who recently took a coaching course if you can’t touch their opposite shoulder you aren’t close enough to support them safely

[@lizclaridge1335]

And also, the spotter needs to follow thru to the landing, obviously for under rotation, but also being aware that the gymnast can over rotate. It doesn’t happen nearly as often but over rotation does happen, with men in particular having more of a tendency to do so. With over rotation a gymnast can miss landing on their feet altogether, causing them to land on their back or neck and it can be quite dangerous. So the spotter should simply follow thru with a hand on the back just in case

[@CourtWatchAu]

great steps

[@vorlonb3]

thanks for taking the time to show how its done appreciated

[@Softandpeachy]

Yay! Now I can break my neck!

[@vacafuega]

This is awesome :D

[@Addyson0504]

I swear even with great instructions I’m gonna break everything

[@cjinpa5713]

Up like a jump and not back like a handspring. Tucking your knees will ‘roll’ you through the air plopping you right back down in your feet. Good luck everyone. Wish I understood this at 12 would’ve saved a lot of over rotates standing tucks. 😜

[@phineassss4901]

I wanted to be a gymnast but my parents never allowed me 😢

[@HOME.OF.TV.B0Y]

I’m just gonna do that but with a front flip because yes

[@margojohnson4224]

Backflips are cool and all but I would be happy to be able to do a cartwheel.

[@IL0vepets]

I learnt a backflip awhile ago, I didn't do steps but instead just went for it

[@bakerbeginnerfood]

thanks for this I'm learn how to do it so I can put this in my mascot skit tryouts audition I wanna NBA or NFL mascot one day

[@C0C0PR]

Former gymnast. Emphasis on the **commit** or you will definitely get hurt.

[@sammi2137]

Learned how to do a backflip by myself without a spot ever on trampoline by doing back drops then rolling over then just not doing the backdrops and just doing it then I learned it off of my air track and now I am getting a spot on the ground by a coach but I learned it originally without a coach

[@SilverPonyKat]

I can do backflipa on a trampoline in a full layout position. Never tried them on the ground... Probably won't.

[@alyspamsss]

Is his spotter a celebrity?? I may be wrong but he looks like a actor that was in the show lab rats.

[@Appaddict01]

He’s a gymnast and teammate.

[@mr.fatcat3096]

the way i did it is i knew how to do a backflip on the trampoline without jumping, so i did that on the couch that was no safe at all and then i asked my dad, who has never even seen anybody spot someone, to spot me and he said he was gonna spot me and he didn’t so…yeah

[@judna1]

My answer to the first question: Nope, thanks 😅 A front roll in a trampoline maybe or a backflip inside a pool definitely 💪🏽😅

[@altimitswagger4842]

I did it twice on a trampoline while drunk, and then did it on the floor twice. First time I thought I broke my neck and the second I gained 3 free bulging discs from landing on my knees

[@savschannel6393]

Thanks man!

[@BREADxYOURMOM]

I actually learned how to do a back tuck, but not standing. I can do it running, but not standing yet. I’m on the elevated surface part.

[@andremyers2806]

Broke my head open

[@JJ-fk7br]

At my age (29), my knees would break at Step 4. Hahaha

[@newmannewworld]

It's all in the tuck

[@kugelschreiber5678]

I tore my lat trying to do a backflip during rehearsal. Great stuff. I should’ve done it in ACTUAL gymnasium with lots of padding instead of marley floor 🤣

[@naz.samman]

I knew how to do a backflip ever since I was 9

Also do you have tips on connecting a roundoff to a backflip? I can't get over my mental block there

Oh i have learning gymnastics for month but i am only in level 2 not really easy 😉

My sister tried doing a backflip in my backyard but she was to close to the pool and fell back hard and hit her head at the bottom but she’s ok and is still alive 😂❤

[@cheese17740]

i think khoi’s tut on front flip is better

[@Cheesy_rbx]

I always drive my knees to face

[@aninhapmr]

I was able to do it only with someone holding my back. But at least I did it...kinda 😅😊

[@XSR_RUGGER]

I taught myself to backflip many years ago. It was a very painful but fulfilling experience 😂. I can still do them, they're just not as pretty.

[@aryalhamodorji7067]

I almost broke my head and foot

[@mustachesock]

Gymnasts are crazy. Ian I respect you, but unless you have a gym in your neighborhood, this isn't gonna cut it. Personally, I learned in my front yard on a little hill

[@Sylo_Shadow]

I just watched jack paynes new video and you had no mercy 😂

[@Christian.2029]

Umm I’m way to scared I’m going to brake my neck and die to do this

[@ninjabros57]

I do backflips of a black at my gymnastics

[@dalebrown5906]

I think this is a very dangerous video because the one thing people do when propelling themselves backward is throw their head. Backtucks shouldn't be performed without direction from a qualified instructor. Mostly because they can correct bad body positions in drills before completing a skill. Seen to many people drill their heads in the ground or injury ankles trying things before they are ready or trying things with spotters thst have no idea how to spot if something goes wrong.

[@alexstasko696]

Backflip is very easy, but if you do one miniature mistake it can literally cost you ur life

[@amelie4803]

But the thing is I can do like one or two good ones, after getting spotted and then my brain just stops working and I land on my head out of nowhere :(

[@Jirka153]

I could do this, but when it was my fifth birthday i jumped to the concrete with my hrad.

[@Asongbook]

I learned one night on a diving board with a ring to aim for.

[@sssmmm2560]

I wish i could do the same thing☹️

[@culprit.2013]

I have a local gym that I train at as a gymnast level two but we don't have foam pits there's like a ninja inflatable pillow and then lots of trampolines but there's no like bars over any foam pits cuz there's no foam pits 😂😂😂😂

When I tuck I knee my face in

[@hichicken4523]

Instruction unclear, I broke my foot 😢

[@Nightmare-jev62]

I learned a backflip when I was like six or seven I’m 14 now and I learned through gymnastics which I am still in. I’m a possible level seven or nine.
