how do you do a side-flip?

Question

side-flips are cool and very hard to do.
Jackie Chan can do it, why can't I?

Answer 1

You do them after lots of practice and leg strength. The momentum is driven by your legs, hips, and abdominals. I wouldn't recommend messing with it unless you've got someone there to teach it to you properly. Unless you want to end up in a hospital.

Oh, and Jackie Chan can do it because he's been training since he was a child.

Answer 2

Best thing to do is to get a professional parkour traceur to teach you or a gymnast.

Answer 3

cause you are too weak.
