What Style Backflip do you do?

[honga]

I know how many Backflip threads there are so dont even bother posting if thats all ur going to say.

I would like to know how U Backflip?

Do u kick your legs foward, then attempt to tuck ur head into ur ass?
Do u flick your head back then let the rest of your body come around?
Do u just fall backwards and let the motion carry you?

Let me know what style U do, and if u have the need, post a clip

i know ive been there before. but if you want to learn backflips then you have to deal with shitty foam. or just go balls to the wall and try them onto some mat or something.

[javier muro5]

[Kenny O.]

it gets soooooooo annoying

 

[Tristan Mathews]

sum people say all you do is just "follow your head" watever thats suppose to mean?

Nah... I know it sounds gay but there is an art to flipping... it's not just hucking them. There are a lot of people who can backflip but most of them don't know how to control the rotation. Not really gonna get into it.

My "style" is "knees to chest".

 

[brandon kilbury]

it depends on what im doing it on..if its over a box i just kind of look back, if its on something smaller i usually pump the ramp and sort of make myself loop out and tuck

edit: and i try to at LEAST bend my knees every time i flip, i HATE straight legged flips

 

[Jdbug_rob]

I do the type where you fall of!

 

[farmboy uk]

flips are overrated
