For those basilers out there with trampolines, how do you do a backflip? I've tried wikipedia, youtube, google, the way they said doesn't work for me. EDIT: It's not so much that I don't know how to do it, it's that my body will just turn as soon as I do a backflip. EDIT2: I can land a frontflip, and the closest I can get to a backflip is doing a backdrop, then flipping backwards onto my feet.

Swinging your arms helps. Not entirely sure how I do it, but it happens.

Jump and kick your legs over you! D: You could attempt a back handspring first? You jump a few times, bend back, let your hands touch the trampoline, and then flip over. O:

Its hard to explain...most people do a backflip AFTER they know how to frontflip, its not just a random trick to do, you have to know how to execute it or it bloody hurts. but i would try wut Maske suggests first, or just do mini bounces to get the hang of it

I never tried it, but I think momentum has a role in it.

lol you can't say HOW to do it.. you just sorta got over the fear of flipping backwards. Once you can do it once, you'll be able to do it every time. just jump, tuck, and spin backwards as fast as you can hope i helped :P

Yeah. Just practice front flipping. for front flip, its jump, (Drive heels over head) Tuck, land. Never did a back flip on a trampolene. I suggest the opposite, but get some momentum with some jumps.

Will you update this thread after your backflip fails and your wearing a neck brace? Please?
