Backflip check no. 1 - check you have enough height!

you know what, I dont see anything wrong with that.
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.

Confidence is the biggest part for sure...
But it wouldn't hurt to try using your arms. ;) lol.

Well done though. Great to see your progression. :)

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

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!!!

SOO CLOSE!
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.
