do a wall flip

i understand the science of the wall flip…but i just cant seem to bring myself to propel myself head over heals onto the hard ground. i can do summersaults but not this…can anyone help me get over the fear?

The following tutorial has been taken on www.screwgravity.com
I only retransmit it to you, all credit goes to the traceurs from screwgravity.

Run at the wall with moderate speed. When you are learning this move you’ll need more speed, but once you’ve got it try it with less…it becomes easier.

Looking at the spot your going to put your feet is very important.

Plant your weaker foot (in my case my left) about a metre away from the wall and keep looking at the spot you’re going to place your foot on the wall. This should be about chest height, although it varies. Start leaning back.

Push into the wall, looking at the spot where your foot is. The longer you look at it, the higher you will go. Be prepared to start leaning back.

Lean back! This is very important…if you don’t lean back you won’t make it round. Aim for the horizontal…

Key stage. At this point you should be horizontal, with your trailing (left) leg thrusting upwards to provide the power of the rotation. This is essential.

You should also lean your head back (a general rule of rotations is that your torso follows your head). Arm positioning is not important, and is just down to personal preference. Your ankle does a small flick to complete the rotation.

Keep your head back, and the body follows (although note that the head being tilted backwards is a smooth action, not a jerk – if you jerk, you’ll hurt your neck). You need to keep the rotation of your driving leg going around. This picture shows the end of the flick with my ankle…which produces height and speed of rotation, whilst the driving leg is power.

Hang time, and a small tuck to control the rotation (tight = quick rotation, open = slow). Keep looking at your landing and force your legs round to it. Keep your eyes open to spot it correctly!

Bent knees absorb the landing and retain balance. This is a very high impact move, even on grass – so don’t overdo it.
