Double back flip to head ground (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QloExtXq8EI). Have to give him credit for doing it, he says he slipped in the comments, it looked like he was pulling from his shins, which seems like a iffy decision being that your on sand, its hot out and you can't chalk up your hands.

thats one thing i been worrying about lately. i used to always pull from the back of my knees, but now i get a harder tuck from the front and i hate chalk. even when i slip on the tuck it doesnt look that fucked up tho. i guess just a little error sent him into panic mode. he shoulda landed that too.

i got a concussion tonight from overrotating tonight, 2nd one, but not on tape =[.

Yea, aparently he had a sprain ankle doing it, that being the truth or not, I wouldnt do a back tuck let alone a double back with a sprain ankle. Yea I guess being able to pull it every which way is the smartest thing to do, for instance guys i work out with practice tucking from their shins, the back of their knees, cowboy it, free tuck, lay out, stall it. I guess if you can do all that and really master the move then throwing it on hard floor wouldnt be a problem but that guy seem to have just gotten confused. Thankfully it was more his chest he landed on. Back of the head would of been awful. Oh yea sorry about the concussion that sucks, but at least you know your spinning fast.

A guy at my gym does cheer for a college nearby. He throws out full rides left and right, and he went to tumble/stunt fest. Said it was badass seeing that shit in person

de-sensitization of crashes can help u from freaking out. the biggest risk in any trick is self-doubt.

Shiit he could have landed that comfortably. I hate the feeling of missing a tuck on double backs but even then I wouldnt completely bail out just like that. And that guy is obviously way better than me. Kind of a weird crash.
@BboyAgua you overrotated a double back? I'm always afraid I'll do that.

On the tumble track I often land overrotated and fly back off the landing mat. They added an extra mat for me haha. Do you guys cowboy your doubles too?

I tuck behind the knees normally but its a pretty open tuck otherwise like I said I'll probably overrotate. I've done double back pikes as well but that shit is scary.

i cowboy and was landing them today onto a mat in a pit, but not sticking, after i land on the mat i fly backwards and roll out like a retard, i push it back too much so i have more momentum than i can control, im thinking if i kick out earlier i can stick it, but ive got to try not to land on my face with that...
