Can anybody do a backflip?

I actually did one today in a precarious situation on accident, and it felt pretty awesome. I would not do it again

Just wondering what it feels like it you're somebody who can do it on the regular.


Also I'm 1/2 through a bottle of blue. So bear with me.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I can, but only in water. I'm too bitch to try it on land.

 

[HoodWinked]

i tried on one of those gym mat floors probably went something like this

1. Does backflip by accident.
2. Drunk.

Starting to think number 1 didn't happen.

Nah too fat to pull one off.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Trampoline only.

 

[thefool]

When I was younger, yep, now i can't.

Sad.

 

[WhatDidHeSay?]

Apparently you do a backflip automatically when you sneeze and fart at the same time.

 

[Artoris]

I could do front ones when younger never dared to try a backflip though

Nope, could sort of do a front flip when I was younger.(End up landing on my back on my bed) I could also do a kip up but those are kind of easy once you figure them out.(The trick is get your feet under your butt. If you do that it's easy.)

 

[Hookshot]

Not a standing one. Never had much jump in my legs considering my height.

 

[winjer]

The only flip I can do, is the bird.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I could many different kinds of flips years ago.
Now I can only do a cartwheel side flip on any surface; I'd have to practice the other ones again.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Back in high school, I could do a backflip clear over those mountains.

 

[22:22:22]

Nope. Can do standing and jumping forward 'forward roll/summersault' forwards and backwards.

You need crazy leg strength and trust in your rotation for a backflip lol.

How the hell does one do an accidental backflip? (Edit) and survive.

 

[JCK75]

I could do one.. but mostly like would not survive it.

 

[Trunx81]

Only to snap a neck and save the day. It s actually super easy, barely an inconvenience.

 

[AJUMP23]

I have never tried on land. Too much body to rotate. My son can do them like they are nothing.

I use to do a really good tuck and roll. Run tuck roll and run again never losing stride.

Thought this was the one were Magnus learned the backflip. Don't think it's in it. Still very entertaining to watch; Magnus has been a World champion in climbing. Used to watch his vids with guests comparing strenght etc.

 

[Rentahamster]

I can do a barrel roll.
