How to do a backflip
It made me
scary the fist time
 "scary at first but then its fun!"
How I did it: i was in cheerleading so i had to do one. i just went to gymnastics for a few weeks and was ready to try one. i had my backwalkover by then so i didnt really start from scratch otherwise it would have taken me longer. |

It made me
Happy with myself 
How I did it: I've been a gymnast all of my life and I remember doing my first back flip on a tramp. My coach grabbed my arm and said we're going to do a flip. And to jump and on three bring my knees up. I was 9 at the time. And we did it. And ever since, I've been doing back flips. And now I teach them. It's a good party trick. ;) Read how I did it…

Still afraid.

I’ve done it before about 2 years back. I did it on a high jump mat so the fear wasn’t there. I want to do it again now on grass but frankly scared to do so.. Ahh i need spotters

I can just barely do a handstand. This goal seems nearly impossible for me, but my back is really flexible and I think I might be able to manage it.

just make sure if you want to try one that you are not being pressured into it, because that will possibly cause an accident… also only do them if your body is up to it… dont try one if you are exhausted or have a broken leg or something… ;)

do back bends first
9 months ago
And this I can do! I need to do back bends every day, then start getting spotted for back flips. I recommend doing a back walk over first (which I can’t quite do yet.) Then find two people you trust to spot you to jump backwards and not land on your head.
