These look cool, like they would be helpful for backflips or something. Can anyone capable of doing both give some input on that?

You can't do these at home or in a gym you basically need a gymnastics place or maybe a playground to get the clearance over the bar.

Don't lie, you just wish you were the guy helping that little boy out.

well it says that the video is unavailable, but to do a back hip circle you cast off the bar, to get your body at least into a planche position, ideally to a handstand, but if you can do a cast to handstand you won't be doing a back hip circle out of it.

once gravity starts bringing you down you want to point your toes, and drive your body towards and under the bar, keeping your arms straight and body hollow. Momentum should let you easily complete the rotation

Whoops they don't allow outside linking, just open the link.

No Ben that'd be gay but if it were a girl yes.
