Backflipping form stuff

[RozoN] · Mar-01-06, 04:52 AM

I have a problem with it... I mean it shouldnt go like the normal bflip? Does tecneque have something to do with the hight one is jumping from? I have tryed a couple of times but I just faceplant it. I have a good standing and doing it from heights shuldnt make much difference, right? I hope some one explains me and/or makes a tutorial about it plzz

first off, you didnt explain things that well, but you're from norway so ill let you off

doing backflips off stuff the biggest need is to go BACK, because if you go straight up you'll either land on the thing you were flipping off and get nowhere or crack yourself on it the way down.

The higher your do it from, the more chilled you can be with it, i did it off an 7 foot ledge and i barely used my legs, just arched like you would for a lazy whipback.

for lower things you need to use your legs a bit more.

HOWEVER! i have a video of a guy who tricks with the OXTRICKS guys here who absolutely launched himself off a 20foot wall.. that was crazy.

basically just need to jump a bit to set some hang-time ...also jump back enough so that you don't land onto where you jumped from of course....then do a slow flip (speed depends on how high a drop...you can flip slower off higher drops)....but get upside down and look at the ground where you're going to land sort of quick...then slowly let your legs come around to land.

this is basically what I do....
