Question

Does anyone know how to do a backflip off a wall?
I have always wanted to try to learn and do this but im not quite sure how to go about it

Answer 1

First you should know what it feels like to be inverted and spinning backwards. If you have access to a deep pool 8' plus depending on your size and weight 10'+ is preferred; stand on the edge of the pool near the balls of your feet back to the water, squat a little bit and hold you arms extended out in front of you to hold your balance, now jump up and back while throwing your hands up and back, as you feet leave the side of the pool pull your knees to your chest and your chin toward your knees, this motion will throw your body back and up. drawing your knees in quickens rotation. Becareful and you may wat to have a friend spot you to be sure you are jumping backwards away form the edge of the pool.

Get this back flip down before ever trying a back flip off a tree or wall. It's not that hard but it's not that easy either and your neck is lot more fragile than you think.

Always start with a trained spotter, well padded floor or crash mat, foam pool or water at first. Once you have the new stunt comfortably tuned in then try the real deal with pads, spotter and a good visual of what the proper motion looks like.

Be careful. Watch some good videos of others doing this stunt and you'll get the idea of hand position, leg tuck and chin/head position.

If you are not sure what you are doing go to a gymnastics gym and ask a coach if you can pay to learn to do a back flip on a trampoline with a safety harness and professional help.

Again be careful and seek professional help.

This takes practice,thats all.
As a teenager I did this wearing "Roller skates"

You young kids need to put down the video games,go outside
and get into shape!
As kids in my day this was common stuff!
Of course we did not have computers,video games and cellphones and cars.
We climbed trees,played frisbee,and if we wanted to find one of our friends ,we didn't "page" them or "text" them or call them on
their "cell phone" we got on our bicycles and rode around until we
found them.All over town if we had to.
Also rode our bikes to school every day ,as well as every where we went,thru high school and beyond !

If we ever have time travel Do Not go back and pick a fight
with a kid back in the day! Or you will see the inside of a hospital
back in the day!
Put down this modern crap,go outside and get tough using
day to day life!

My cousin can do it. You just get enough speed and run at an angle when you hit the wall.
