Backflip help (Vid Included)

[BboyKslic]

Ok Im kinda new to tricking and I finally grew the balls to try a backflip this weekend.. Surprise! I didn't land on my neck! As you can see in the video I barely landed this move. How do I increase my rotation speed? Or is the problem I don't get adequate height.

-Forgive the arrogance after the 1st flip. I was so happy I didn't land on my neck but I had to play it off.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giBhMtOpYtQ

Tuck, don't just tap your knees. Bring your legs in deep, like as hard as you can. And get rid of that minijump before you go, it kills your height and power.

Wow... I think even though Im actually trying the backflip... Fear is being a wall blocking my backflip success... Everytime I try a backflip I keep using my bad habits.. When I try to jump higher rotate way slower and... w.e Ill let this video show you... I put it to music for your enjoymenthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrbSNw9WXhs

well...the jump you do before u flip ruins it, uh tuck harder grab behind your knees, jump straight up, really use your arms, and look straight forward
