Tall skinny guy backflip

[frika]

Hey there,

So a few of my friends are really into tricking. I've recently started a lot of flexibility and strength training but as things stand I'm 6'5 and 175 pounds and I wonder if it's remotely possible for me to get into tricking... I can't even fathom doing a backflip or anything, so I guess I'm wondering if y'all think it would be possible.

You'll probably say yes, but I'd like to know opinions and difficulties and maybe suggestions on specific training techniques and whatnot.

Thanks!

i know tall skinny guys who are actually better at backflips. just be sure you're outside, not in your dormroom, or school hallways.

btw, i'm at least 6'2" and backflip with the best of 'em.

taller is good for some stuff, but can hold you back in other departments! just work with what you got! its good that your light as well, less weight to hold you back!
