I've been thinking a lot about flips, but obviously want to get it right without bocks before attempting it on bocks.
Has anyone practiced flips [bockless] on grass? I was thinking to practice, but am slightly unsure about the possible pain involved should I make a mistake.
I've got the technique in my head, and can front flip well from 1 & 3 metre boards at a pool, but of course grass is another matter. I was considering to perhaps flip off of something, perhaps a metre off the grass to gain better height before going from standing / run up over level ground.
I know I should use a gym with crash mats, but I don't have access to one in my area at the moment [currently in Glasto'], hence my suggestion of other methods.
Thoughts?
