Backflips?

yep, I love doing Backflips off Diving boards.

I can do a backflip and front flip on a trampoliene and diving board, but not on flat ground.

I use to be able to do front flips.. But I could not do back flips...😞

Speaking of flips I'm going to the town pool tomorrow, I have to touch up on my front flip so i don't land on my gut (like before)

That my friends is also known as a "belly flop" and they make a weird noise and cause alot of pain...😊

Useless info...

I don't try to do belly flops, I just mess up and do them by accident. I also land on my back though.

When you land on your back.. that absolutely kills!!

I've only messed up on a Front flip off a diving board once, landed flat on my back, hurt like hell too. Belly flops arnt nearly as bad as back flops can be. But on a big trampoline, you can to backflops, belly flops, front flips, back flips, and unless you land on your head/neck, you should be fine.

I've never done a flip and don't think I ever will. Even in pools and trammmammpolines, trammopilens - sorry homer said that once. I just don't know how people like Jackie Chan can do the things they do. Of course I can't even touch my toes bithout bending my knees so maybe I'm no a good example.

Well you might need to bulk up a bit if you aren't already, specifically your abs and legs. I'd start off with handsprings before you do flips off the ground. That way you have your hands to protect your head in case anything goes wrong or whatnot. You get the idea...

You Got That Right:angry:

nope. i would probably break my neck

I think we should all work on this, and whoever succeeds first gets a cookie! 😊

(seeing the numbers of forum posts dropping)

ok i can do front hand springs and back hand springs, then i can do front flips on normal ground , and everything in the water and on a trampoliene(sp)

but i have never taken gynastics, taught myself

I can do front flips if I get a bit of a running start, anything off a diving board or trampoline...but the last time I tried a backflip just standing there, I landed on the back of my head and neck.:redface:

I can't do front flips on ground. I can do them on trampolines, and last time I di a front flip, I ended up doing more of a swanton bomb. It looked like I had a really bad sun burn. From then on, I stuck to cannon bombs and dives, and of course, the ocasional 540.

yea thats the bad thing when u make one wrong step...CRACK:cry:

My trampoline said not to do backflips... So I don't... :sweat:

You're all destined for broken necks, I say! :tongue:

Actually, I just rembered I can do a front flip on ground but I land on my ass not on my feet, but If I could jump higher it would probably be easier.
