how to do a backflip?

Answer 1

Go to a gym and learn there. It is dangerous to do it on your own.

Answer 2

Stretch thoroughly before you begin. Otherwise, you may strain or tear a muscle.
Remember to stretch your wrist and ankles for the back-flip.
Use plenty of space and a soft ground, grass is a good choice.
Wear relaxed clothing and either good shoes or no shoes.
Keep you feet shoulder-width apart.
Let your arms hang down to your sides.
Stay confident: focus on being successful throughout the move.
Do not stop in the middle of the move, the fall can cause broken bones and and a trip to the hospital.
Never look down. Keep your eyes focused on a spot about eye level and try to keep your head in that position throughout the roll.
Prepare for your jump by "digging down".
When digging down do not let your legs bend more than 90°, or below your knee.
Swing your arms backwards for momentum.
Jump and swing your arms forward to increase the height of your jump. Always jump straight up, also known as a vertical jump..
Never jump backwards, or you will fall.
Remember to not look down.
Use your swinging arms to get the maximum height you can on the vertical jump.
At the pinnacle (top) of your jump begin to roll.
Bring your legs up into the tuck.
The combined momentum of the muscles in your legs, your arms swinging up and your knees tucking in, while always keeping your gaze forward is what creates the mid-air roll.
Complete the tuck by moving your arms forward to touch your legs.
Some people tuck their arms under their knees.
Some people put their arms above their legs.
Don't put your arms on your butt.
Use your arm strength to "pull on your knees" to aid the roll.
Begin to extend your lower back towards the landing.
Bend your knees again as you land.
A good landing is where both feet contact the ground at the same time, either on the heel or with the whole foot (preferred).
Landing in the same spot you jumped from is excellent form.
Once you have mastered the back-flip try advanced versions like the x-out, the Flash kick, the halftwist, the fulltwist, and the gainer.

Answer 3

Well I were tumbling because I used to be 7 years historic. I found out my again handspring first. I can do entrance stroll overs however I'm to scared to check out a entrance turn (except I'm at the trampoline) .. so I say that backflips are less difficult since you'll be able to land higher. If I attempted a entrance turn I could on the whole land on my butt.

Answer 4

if on land..its not as easy as you think.
you have to be very flexible. and its impossible to explain over the internet. you can try but i guarantee you WILL land on your head. the only way to officially know is to go to a gymnastic gym.
