I think that vid clearly shows that you need the balls and confidence to go for it more than you need the height and technique for it. It's totally different than a front flip for sure.

Yea yea, ok, SO I was stupid and tried to flip onto a mat with my phone on it. And yes the phone went flying when I landed, and proceeded to Explode into loads of bits! It still works, but the video didnt save!! Gutted!!!

It's better to have tried and failed not so badly than to have not tried at all...
I haven't tried a backflip yet though, I've only been Powerbocking for a week.
