How Do You Do A Backflip Off Of A Wall?
Let’s face it: backflips are cool. They require agility, concentration and strength. And they’re not easy to figure out without help. Backflips are also notorious for sending kids to the hospital, so before you start, make sure you’ve got a solid wall to jump off (don’t try it with a fence) and a soft landing zone. Swimming pools are ideal and obviously the most forgiving, so it’s highly recommended to use a deep swimming pool for your first backflip attempt. Once you’ve got the idea down, move to a patch of soft grass. Always have a spotter nearby. Select a low wall, 2 to 4 feet high to start and at least 8 inches thick with a large, open and soft area around it for landing. Stand on the wall with your back to your landing area and with your feet firmly planted on top. Your your feet should be slightly less than shoulder-width apart. Bend for the jump. With your weight on the balls of your feet, bend at the knees and bring your arms down past your hips and behind your back. Don’t bend
