Hey, im new too ;>. And from germany, so please don´t laugh about my bad englisch -.-.

Trie first to do it from a higher position in to the water. And then near and near to the ground...

OK theres a few different ways to get over the fear. The one that i tried first is just to get a spotter which worked well for me. I got the flip attempted and guess what. i still fell on my head but it didnt hurt at all.

My second round of attempts was off a dock into the water. that helped to develope the tuck and there was no fear doing that at all because it was into the water.

I did that a few times and as soon as you feel like your landing on your feet insted of your back. and that should be a good way to get rid of the fear.

i found trampolines good, get it down from standstill on a tramp, then do it off the metal bar, if you make it round at least to your knees then you know you will be fine to try it on the grass

I never used a spotter to learn backtucks, I just went for it a couple times on a tramp then started drilling it on a soft mat.
Mattresses are really good if you don't have access to a gymnastics room.
