yes, taping urself helps a lot too so u can look at yourself doin the move and u can find little stuff u need to fix

[queer54]

yeah i do gay back flips but they are piked/whipped right now

Well, if you practice whip backflips, than you're just gonna get uber nice whip backflips. You have to conciously change your technique, or else you're not going to get anywhere. Trust me, I know from b-kick/twist experience.

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot. Jump straight fucking UP! You know why thsi is labored on so much? Because its IMPORTANT. If you jump up and tuck hard as hell, you'll get a proper (non-whipped) backflip within a few tries (hopefully...) Its really in the fear, once the fear is gone, you should be able to experiment, so try different things, but make sure you're trying them RIGHT. Good luck, and good job getting the backflip in the first place. :good:

spiced it up

but yeah im jumping loads back

:ouch: :dead:

i know to jump up since i learnt backflip in gymnastics

so im guessing the whip is coming from being so physically tired that day

yeah probably should be fresh/awake to do PROPER backflips im guessing....

Your backflips aren't as whippy as ur saying. While it is apparant that you're jumping back, you don't whip your head back. Just jump straight up and you'll have a great backflip.

wtf, pikes are harder... just tuck with your arms, hug your shins while your upside down...

[queer54]

OK SO recap

Tuck harder with arms
Jump straight up

i fucking suck at tucking...

practise rolling into a tight ball on the floor, and do it in the air.
