i just recently saw the tribute vid to anis and saw him teaching the loser flip
now i want to learn it but i'm kinda scared of landing on my back if i bail
overall it looks pretty easy after looking at videos of people doing it

don't be scared of landing it on your back, be scared of landing it on your face. i've seen people who landed it on their face.

Be scared of your foot slipping out from under you because you have socks on and landing on the top of your head. Yea that one hurt pretty bad.

get a good axe to webster first before you even think of losers, I've heard losers are easier, but personally I haven't tried them :tongue: the worst you can do in an axe to webster though is fall on your back, I suck at backwards kick things and thats alls that happened to me.

Also standing fronts might help.

Losers are MUUUCh easier than standing fronts.

standing fronts are awkward and hard.

Losers & Reverse Websters are pretty difficult at first [at least they were for me], but once you get the hang of them and understand how the technique works...it's no problem at all :wink: Landing on your back is always a shock, but it doesn't hurt that much [especially when you're prepared].
Though it resembles a front flip, the muscles you use are completely different. Knowing how to front flip will only help you with the timing of your landing...

AHAH, Poliver, your statement made me laugh. It remind me of someone who did a front flip and spun too hard, landing his face in a patch of those prickly bushes on the floor.

learn webster first, then axe2webster and loser
oh and make sure your foot doesn't hit the ground when swinging, my bro once faceplanted hard because of that, even after 2 years it's still funny.
losers are pretty hard, i can only land them squatting, which looks gay as hell :eh:

what's this thread all about?
Afraid being a loser!! Ha HA!!
Just kidding. You should get used to doing frontflips, and do websters.
