Yeah so I'm pretty sure that my roundoffs are still pretty messy.... And whenever I went to backflip, I would just totally bail and go flying backwards... I think because I was weirded out by having to backflip with straight legs.
Do you think I could roundoff>backflip?

I have the exact opposite problem you have, I learned roundoff>backflips first, and when I started standing backflips I don't bend my knees much, it sort of works out, I'm pretty sure I have a higher vert than most people here so a slightly bent knee gets me around somehow. But anyway a roundoff>backtuck is very easy, most people (non trickers) can just lean back right out of the roundoff and still get the rotation, the Roundoff does most of the work. And to be even simpler, the faster you run the easier it is, if you want to bend your knees do a slower round off....

Doing a roundoff tuck is probably easier than wiping an infants asshole, even if you had a half shit roundoff. Just dont look back, and tuck. And you will have fun.

You could always improve your round off, then whatever trick you want to make would come easier.

But you have some really good rebound, so yeah you could pull it off.

If it was me I'd wait or first try it at a tumbling floor. But that's just how I would do it
