My Flatground Backflip Progression

www.skatepunk.eu/
So, in addition to skateboarding, I have also been learning backflips on flatground since January of this year. I won't lie and say that this was easy, because the entire process was seriously one of the hardest things I've done in my life. The physical aspect was difficult but not too bad, especially once I learned the hard way that stretching is a must before doing these. However, the hardest part for me in learning backflips was the fear. I would get so nervous before every session, and it is only now that I can land every one that I don't get nervous and am pretty confident with them. Anyways, it took a while but I'm really glad I decided to learn these and documented my progress along the way! Please like, comment and subscribe for more!

couple of tips. you need to throw your arms a bit harder and tuck a bit harder and extend your body more. otherwise looks nice :)

you need to keep your head looking strait for about half a second to get more hight and make it look more pro
