Just landed my first backflip followed by a 2nd and a 3rd all thanks to this video. Thank you dovicka, you've just helped me tick another thing off my bucket list!

Oh! And one more thing for most people who are still afraid of faceplanting. Please exercise! Develop your strength, flexibility, and balance. Work out with focus on your core and big muscles (torso and legs). When you get in shape appropriate for your biometrics, you will feel it, and it will be much easier to overcome the mental blockade that resulted from previous failed attempts. Don't give up (even pros fail at times); practice these drills frequently and consistently; this will help you develop the proper technique and achieve proper dynamics. At that point, you will be able to control your momentum and do it slower and more laid-out on the trampoline, but faster and more compact on the ground. Practice until you can! It's fun after all. :)

+Andre Kuzmicheff I am able to do a Backflip into water from aprox. 1 Meter height, and i also have done it with a second Person assisting me, but now, half a Year later i am not able to break the Mental blockade that stops me from doing the 'Up-and-turn' Movement... Its so Frustrating.. x-x Do you have any Tips for me? I know i am in the Condition to do it, but i still cant. :/

Practice, practice, practice! Do backward rolls (first drill in the video) on the floor right at home. Do it daily, 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the afternoon, and you will see that the tucking motion becomes natural. It will help you a great deal when flipping in the air. Have fun in the coming year!

Guys don't be scared. Backflips are one of the most fun skills I have ever done as a gymnast. Keep going and keep practicing and you'll get it eventually.

I’m definitely scared. Having a really hard time feeling confident enough to try it.

Thank you so much. I know everyone doesn't have a trampoline. But I do and this is one of the best tutorials I have found. I really liked the progressions, too.

Thanks a lot for putting this vid out! They say that getting something done is largely getting to the point. Well, your tutorial does it best of all. :)

Glad you were born with far far above average strength and courage. Not many are blessed like that

Thanks! I love the positive attitude in the video :) it helps

It means that you are leaning back at the beginning and "trying harder" will only make you go back further. The key is to focus on swooping your legs in an upward and slightly-forward direction as the driving force of the flip which allows you to keep your chest nearly straight up. If you are doing them standing then going back up to 2 feet is okay but jumping on the trampoline you should be able to land in the same spot.

Thanks a lot these drills really help.

I love the first two trampoline drills! Very helpful :-)

Repeat the backflip off of 3 ft LOTS AND LOTS. If your legs and abs aren't sore the next day then it wasn't enough. From then you can decrease the height as you gain strength which will depend on your body type but mainly how much you practice. It could take 1-2 weeks, could be 6-8 weeks. Good luck!

This is actually a very good tutorial!!

This is the best backflip tutorial out there

I taught myself a backflip since I was 7. I never felt the fear of going backwards. All you have to do is go into the position and DO IT! Its like doing a back role but in the air. But in detail, I started off with a backhand spring. Its not hard. If you have fear, block it out.

Excellent! Thank you. I’m working on the back drops onto the trampoline now. They are harder than they look and I bounce to the side instead of straight over…

this has helped me a lot as i do trampolining and not been able to master my back summie because i flip my head back thank you

This was awesome thanks!

nice. this tutorial deserves even more likes. I think it's great.

Thank you for the backflip encouragement

great tutorials man

thank so much i like every step on these video. very smart

you did a great job at this thanks

Man, you're great!!! I'm gonna prove this in the gym!!!

This was a very, very, very good tutorial. I especially loved the: 'standing backflip on the ground'... "this skill emulates the standing backflip on the ground hahaha

Backdrops do require a large about of neck muscles, more if you keep your head off the trampoline but still LOTS if you let it rest on the trampoline too. If your neck isn't strong enough you can strain your neck muscles or even get mild whip-lash. Prescription? Take it easy and start low with the backdrops until your neck muscle's strength catches up to the rest of your muscles.

Glad to hear that!

What I have found with breaking muscle memory the best tactic is to change the skill enough that your mind can consider it a different skill than the currently flawed one. This tactic means the MORE flawed the skill, the MORE likely it is to work. Subtle flaws are harder. This one is somewhat subtle but this is what I am doing to fix mine: Change your BHS to a locked-arm BHS which is actually better in most cases. This should do what I described, make it different enough to be a different skil

Sounds fun. I'll get started right on it.

I love gymnastics!!

This has become a common question so I mad an annotation about it in the video. "Note: This is the SCARIEST step and you must find the safest and safest-feeling setting of spotter or matt or spotter+matt to get over the fear." Thats what is says.

I'm trying to practice back flips so I can do them on skis. Do you have any advice dovicka?

It all depends on how well you can do the drills. If the drills are easy to do so you can consider the drills "mastered" then you should find the safest place possible, with matts and a spotter and go for it. If you do not have the drills mastered, all of them, don't try a backflip yet, just continue to work on the drills.

"please, don't rush anything" Man.. if i had a tramp i wouldn't, but i don't really have a choice, imma try it on grass i think.

how long would it take to fully learn the drills ? breaking reflexes

I need tips on landing my backflips with my chest up like you and need to get more height.

That is actually a VERY hard thing to fix. I worked for over a month trying to fix the same problem with a late-20s guy and we still haven't fixed it. Really the only way is to overhaul the entire skill. If you are whipping your head back (very likely) then it should make it easier because you can make your "new backflip" different enough to not conflict with your muscle memory. Practice the drills like you were just learning a backflip with a friend watching your technique vigilanty.

When doing the backflip on the ground how much of a lean do you have to do when you first jump in the air, I don't know whats too much or too little of a lean back

In the description there is a video which outlines the safest methods I could think of to learn a backflip without a trampoline, though using a trampoline is recommended as the safest method.

The principals are pretty similar from what I've seen of skiers flipping. There may be some changes to be done but I'd guess that knowing how to do one on the trampoline will make learning it on skis a lot easier. Make sure to ask a ski instructor for advice too though!

Thankyou i was able to finally able to learn it on a trampoline!

Very helpful i can do it! thanks!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT'S VERY HELPFUL

hmmm.. i train for few months already. However, my backflip remain the same height and same style. i can do backflip easily but i can't land it softly. Any exercise or drill should i practice to make my backflip higher? or is there any technique for me to spot my landing?

Awesome!! Thanks! :)

I keep trying to learn how to do backflips, frontflips, and everything, but I am scared because I have never been in any kind of a gymnastic class...Do you have any advice to help me become more flexible and learn how to do different things?

I have been doing all these drills for a while now but im still scared of doing it Should i keep doing the drills untill im comfortable or what please answer

@dovicka So, jumping affect on how we spin. Can you tell me, how should I train to increase my jumping power.

I'm gonna try!!

thanks, it´s very usefull, i spect to find the apropiate place to practice it and achive it :)

This is a great vid it actually does help u learn how to do a backflip

Well as you get strong and stronger you will land higher up and softer, while you develop the strength you should practice on a soft surface like a matt, a matress, soft grass or sand. Good luck

How long will it take me to break the reflex of not wanting to fall backwards? I can frontflip fine but that relex is holding me back even though I've done the drills :/

That is the natural/easiest motion when doing a backwards roll called a shoulder roll. Practice rocking from sitting to on your shoulders with both hands firmly on the ground beside your ears and head in. (watch the roll in the video carefully, you'll see me hit the position) Practice getting your hands firmly on the ground rocking faster and faster then when you go to roll backwards do the same thing and you should go perfectly straight

thank you a lot!!

@Puschen121 wow, just took a look at your videos. NICE! (and thx for compliment)

I can land a backflip off a block but i'm 2 scared 2 do it on ground. What should i do?

Good advice

OMG was this video filmed in Vancouver phoenix gymnastics????

I can do it clean on the trampoline, without bouncing. But i still need a height of 3ft to jump off and land on the ground. Any tips please?

Awesome

I land my backflips pretty well however when I land them i seem to land farther from where I started what can I do to stop it

The part when u said if u dont hav a incline mat then use flat ground but when ur doing it ur doing it front like a front roll if i keep doing it then its gonna

Thank you

I always seem to find that the backdrops hurt my neck a lot. Any tips? :)

bro as you said that its very difficult to correct your muscle memory...m also facing this problem.my backhandspring is always tilted towards right side.i can do back tuck,roundoff back tuck but this thing is difficult.please help.

most people can do backflips, even if youre not in good shape, it's just that fear that really holds you back

Im 12 years old and i can do it on trampoline and to a water. Can i do it on flat?

Sick tutorial I learnt this In 5 mins at parkour thanks

pretty goog turotial!!

I don't tuck when i do them on trampolines.. Will this affect my flat ground backflips?

I started it but then I started college and I don't anticipate working on it for a long while. There is a complete script of the would-be frontflip tutorial in one of my videos thought. check it out.

What you can do is 1: do backflips up onto something 6 inches or higher and just drill it again and again and onto heights up to 12 inches max. 2: Practice it on grass a bunch then go to a sprung floor. Same principal as #1 Either case it is just practice practice practice. Also note I naturally have a pretty high vertical jump so I didn't really have to wonrk on that.

i have sent a vid response, apart from jumping back not up, i realise this. but can you tell me what im doing right AND wrong please im getting better and am starting to jump up more in the ones i was doing today :) thankyou

As long as you've practiced the drills very thoroughly then it should really quick. Many people need to do 5-10 backflip with a spotter or with a soft matt, ie:something to ease the fear, before they can do it on their own on the trampoline You can look up videos on how to spot a backflip for a friend to help you, though a gym would be MUCH safer. Be safe, good luck!

so im attempting to do it my first time in grass without spotter and cant get over the fear of that first flip 😨

I am sorry. Is land.. How can i land a backflip softly? when i do my backflip i land very hard. Any tips for it?

breaking reflexes an hour or so to almost 100% break it. Backflip on the trampoline w/ okay technique 20-40 minutes Backflip on the trampoline w/ excellent technique 30-90 minutes Backflip on the ground (hugely variable based on fitness) : 1-2 hour to 1-2 months

Ive tried it but everytime is do a backdrop I get scared and hesitate because my trampoline is outside and everytime I look at the sky I get scared for some reason

thanks helped alot

Is it possible to do the incline roll on flat ground?

Feel like im doing front flips not backflips would it still help me doing a front flip even doe im doing front rolls plzzz help thanks

Can you help me? 1. I can do a backflip on trampoline and it is very easy 2.I can do a backflip off a table or a fence. 3. but when i try backflip on ground i fear too much and throw it over my shoulder without tucking . and it is hard to me to keep my head straight on backflip

i can do backflip on water but when i tried to do it on a trampoline i was too scared to try

Foam pit is the intermediate step. If you know the technique, only fear is holding you back! Learn the macaco. That's what helped me get the backflip.

I can do a back drop, but i'm still afraid to do a back tuck D: what can i do?? please

Tnx, helpful.

lol just yesterday i was scared, then i kinda went back sideways and just landed on my belly, and then just keep getting more and more straighter when you get used to going crooked, and when i just leave the ground before i flip i give it all ive got because you have to keep spinning or you are going to break your neck, also try doing back drops than instead of flipping back up go backwards on to your head...but yeah i throw my arms back and kick up and im landing on my feet most the time.

it is called a standing back salto actually but non-gymnasts identify with the term backflip more than salto and I said backflip as a kid too so I chose to go with "backflip" for the video :D

i hope i can do this

I'm trying to learn Backflips, but I can't stop laughing on those Backflip fails.

Wow this guy is so much of wise

I dont have a trampoline but i try to do backflip on the bed, but i cant swing my hand. What should i do ???

would it help me do a backflip even do im doing front rolls*

Thankyou so much I can now do a backflip I can't thank you enough THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH

actually, you don't need a trampoline, you can jump that step, but it helps to learn how to do it. You can learn to do backflips just by being higher than the ground and trying to do it with someone to back you, to help you with your rotation, and to avoid injuries . Eric Hiep, you are suppose to have your eyes open and see the ground to be able to know where and when to put your feet, to land properly

Im going to try this maybe just the steps I won't do the backflip for a while

Can you practice on snow ??????

also a back tuck! in gymnastics.

Dude I dont Have A trampoline To go For But I have Made A setup In which I jump from the bed on land on a mattress which is lower than the bed Is It Okay??? plzzz reply
