Answer 1

Yes remember in Blues Brothers, John Belushi doing backflips, he did them on Saturday Night Live too.
It just takes the courage and the ability to try to do it.

Answer 2

Of course. It's not about weight itself, but if you have the proper muscles and strength to do it. If you are training as a martial artist your instructor should be able to tell you how to properly train to do a backflip.

Answer 3

You don't say how Old you are- OR how heavy you are... Depending on these factors & what kind of physical condition you're in- I suppose you could try it... -Just make SURE you have a Cell Phone within easy reach, just in case it doesn't go too well- & you need to call "9-1-1". :)
