Backflip help!

[Jacksdeformity]

Hi guys/gals, when ever i try a backflip on a trampoline with or without jumping i can do it perfect, i can stand perfectlly still and just do it, no preleminary jumps or any thing, but when i try it on flat ground or mats i get completely horizontal and then my body forces me to spin around like a barrel roll and i land on my hands and knees , i dont have a spotter that knows how to do a backflip, but he knows how in theory to do one... any suggestions?

grow some balls and stop freaking out mid air

that makes sense but it doesnt help...

you just need to fully commit, your turning to the side in fear, you need a spotter if you cant force yourself to just do it
