Are you dying to do a back flip, but don't have enough money to go to the gym or don't know who can teach you? Both would be highly recommended, but there are other ways to learn too - for example by reading this article! However, do so at your own risk.

Step 1. Get a mattress, an observer, a large enough space (you won't have to go on anything) and lots of energy

  • You will need a mattress because, as you flip backwards, you will need to have something soft to rest your hands on. Plus, if you go crazy, you won't get hurt!
  • You absolutely need an observer. Before you have mastered how to do a back flip, it is best to have someone look at you. If you're a kid, make sure one of your parents is there too (but he doesn't have to be the observer).
  • Your observer must keep one hand on your back and the other on your thigh. When you start doing the somersault on your hands, he will have to push your legs up and hold your back to decrease the chance of falling.

Step 2. Your body's fitness is critical

  • Make sure you have energy, as jumping takes a lot and you need to be prepared to fall on your hands and support your weight.
  • It is advisable to know how to do a reverse wheel.

Step 5. Jump and leave your sitting position when you feel ready to do the back flip

At the same time, move your arms past your ears so that you fall on your hands (jump back and up, so you don't collapse on your hands!).

Step 6. Move your legs and return them to the starting position as soon as you feel your hands have picked up your weight, and get back on your feet

Advice

  • Make sure the observer knows what to do, so you don't get hurt or jump backwards.
  • Keep your arms straight as you fall onto your hands.
  • Make sure you can jump back on your hands without being afraid. If you fall on your back, you could get very hurt!
  • Keep your head straight for as long as possible. If you don't, you could get hurt.
  • Keep your body taut.
  • It would be best to learn backward jumping first on a trampoline or trampoline and then on the ground.
  • Before learning how to hold the position well, make sure you have an observer who can grab your feet without any problems.
  • Try jumping up and back so you don't collapse on your hands.
  • If you don't feel ready to do it, avoid!
  • If you can, do it on the grass instead of the floor.
  • You may learn how to do the reverse wheel first, but it's not mandatory!
