Backflip: worried about hurting yourself?

[TKD_Andy]

This guy bails it pretty much perfectly and is pretty much unharmed.

Its funny as hell too.

Hahaha! He looked like he was going to be allright, until he untucked and then bam, haha.

[Sakanem]

Haha. Luckily his balls broke his fall so he didn't hurt himself otherwise :smile:

[n3m3s1s]

looks like he hurt his balls pretty bad.

Allah dammit, the backflip will be nothing when I'm done with it!

And that guy... yeah.

[Shadow5217]

Andy, people are more worried about crashing on their neck.

I think falling like that, landing flat with your lower body/stomach is very painful on that kinda floor haha. Ouch! And by the way I bailed a backflip the other day, it was kinda scary and a lil bit exciting too for some reason lol...

[mchitti]

why are you moonfaced? Oh and also, I have had an interesting backflip history, first of all, I got a spotter, worked great, I tried some attempts, but jumped off 1 foot unconsciously every time, did more spotting, then tried more solo attempts, I used two feet, and got them pretty easily. After about half a year, someone says, do a backflip, so I try, and I think I jumped off on foot again, so I do a kinda breakdance backflip, land on my hands, then the rest of me comes down, then I was scared of them again. So I got more spotting, from the same guy who did it the first time, and I did another one footer, turned sideways, landed, DIRECTLY on my head, it didn't hurt at first, but built up just a mild pain for about a week. now it's fully gone. They aren't as lethal as you may think they are, or I got lucky. But just don't try them on concrete. I am thinking of just learning them on a trampoline now, just standing, that should help.

When I crash on my neck/back, mostly the pain comes afterwards. Like my muscles are cramped. It's a mild pain but it doesn't kill you.

Sakanem, love your comment, I almost fell off my chair laughing :smile:

[Sudrunk Monkey]

I landed on my neck doing a wallflip. >.<

[mchitti]

yeah Squibel, it didn't hurt all when I actually landed on my head, it started hurting a little later that day, then was just a mild pain for a week only when I bent my neck far right. How often do you crash on your head? I thought it was a rare thing.

[searchsoul]

Haha. Luckily his balls broke his fall so he didn't hurt himself otherwise :smile:

HAHAHAHA! ZOMG xD

if anyone else did that, they'd sure hurt cos their balls arent as big as his to go to the front and break their falls

[Squibel]

Haha, I crashed on my neck when trying my first: backflip, gainer and flashkick (not on the same session though). Can't do gainer or flashkick yet either...

[kamikaze!]

I landed on my neck doing a wallflip. >.<

but..can you backflip?
:ouch:

[Volador]

Hahhaha that was pretty funny. Why the fuck did he try it on that floor anyway =/ . I only tried to backflip once, and landed tucked and on my face/head/knees. Didn't hurt much at all :D

[Sudrunk Monkey]

but..can you backflip?
:ouch:


Sure I can. It's just doing the fear that's the problem.

[J-kob]

hahahaha he probably really hurt his balls real bad, and he keeps on laughing lol :tongue:

[Tyrannt]

Haha nice! Watch, thats probably going to be me... (yea im a noob... BUT YOU WERE TOO! once...)

[Swartz]

That wasn't that bad a crash haha. A "perfect bail" would probably involve landing on your head, and his head missed the ground anyway. The chances of really hurting yourself on a backflip are slim and it's good you're trying to point that out Andy, just saying it's probably not the best choice for an example.

why?

its the funniest non-super painful bail ive seen in a long time. There are shitloads of videos out there where people have bailed right onto their necks etc, but this one was just perfect in its execution, it was like he was almost there then BLAM opens out lands flat.

the only people ive seen do backflips like the one in the video are stunt men

Oh yeah, it was very interesting XD I'd wish you could have seen it on film afterwards haha.

[Bertie]

AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!! That was so great! the sound was just perfect! i swear that was the noise of his balls exploding!!!! nice crunch! Oooooh! i could almost feel his pain without laughing.....almost! Hahahahaha!!!!!! :smile:

[mchitti]

man I wish I could even just attempt a backflip like that. I feel shiiiiiiiiit.

[lak89]

LMAO he just went plop on the ground, the end
