<div class="IPBDescription">awww yeah!</div> Ever since I saw a video posted by someone on these boards doing crazy backflips etc (his name was Joe Eiago or something like that) I've really been interested about doing stuff like that. Well I half assed tried to do stuff like that in my backyard but it didn't really pan out to much. So I finally found this great drop in gymnastics gym that teach's you to do anything you want to do!. So ever since then (oh about three or four months?) I've learned how do backflip, backhandspring, roundoff, frontflip and now finally WALLFLIP jacky chan style!.
Check it out: <a href='http://apotheosis.tv/files/wallflip.AVI' target='_blank'>Flippage!</a> (sorry about the quality but its my friends craptastic 100 dollar digital camera)
once I get some more tricks, maybe butterfly twist and/or double leg I wanna put together a demo real or somethin haha!.

would i be right in thinking that if you got a bit higher you could do a full wallflip without the whole "almost falling over forward" ? [the end of the clip where you look like youre going to do a backflip]
Anyways, it's real nice that you can learn to do this. As for me, I have a real hard time finding a gymnasium which let you do anything <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
BTW, try aiming for a higher height. It may sund like suicide, but I'm sure you can do a LOT more higher than that.

falling over forward? I have gotten higher but in this clip im pretty high, execpt Im just lazy and I take too long to flip over. Thats why I land crouched instead of straight. There are many ways you can do a wall flip, in mine im doing a flash kick out of it (well sorta) but you can do a full twist, a FRONT flip and different variations of that, its crazy!. But to do it without landing on your head you HAVE to lean back other wise you will go straight up or tilt a bit back and land on your head! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

Yes you are totally right I actually can go way higher, but I just learned this move and Im still abit of a wuss. Although I did get CRAZY mad hight last week too bad I didnt get it on tape, I landed that one perfectly straight too man it felt so effortless as well.
double legs are boring... get some flashkicks and butterfly twists - so much better
is awesome to know there other people into tricks on these boards! yay

Yes I can do standing backflips, and yes butterflytwist's are probably the next thing Im going to be learning. And yes I am TRICKSTER BABY! all the way! man this stuff is FUN. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I would really like to learn doing tricks of the vast spectrum available myself. I don't know what university life will be like, but I assume I can try learning this stuff in the gym facility in my spare time. Until then, I'll just continue practicing staff twirling.

Don't hurt me.

l learnt on the grass outside my house <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
good place to start is with a mate in your garder for the basics... when you start doing flips, if you got balls, do it yourself (try on a thin matress), but if you scared (and most are) find a gymnastics teacher who can spot you...
just get out and trick... !!!! GOGOGO
Ya know, milk and fish oils might help that kinda thing...
Unless your like 40 something, then your screwed.
Can get my legs over my head, splits etc, very flexible. I just can't do what I could as a kid (used to be super athletic, now Im just super asthmatic)

Ok, I was assuming it was an "my aching bones" type thing, cause that is what getting old is doing to me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've always wanted to learn how to backflip.
I'm gonna win Saturday's lottery and move to a decent area
with decent gyms and decent LAN Cafe's and give Flayra a
nice donation towards Unknown Worlds.... and then learn to do flips.
I finally have a plan for life. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i'm asumming because you are on the internet that you own a house / apparetment. It is then fair to assume that with such house or appartment comes some parking space - perhaps even an area of grass?
that is all you need
if it's concrete, stick an old matress down
if it's grass, you're sorted <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Meh, grass stains when you mess up (and you WILL mess up), go for the matress to learn; it also hurts less when you land on your head. Gyms are just fun cause you can lay the mats out however you want and do all kinds of cool things with all the stuff you would ever need right there.
I watched the friday night madness video lurking on the internet by team ryouko , and those guys pull some amazing tricks! and i woz like i wish i could do some of them stunts, all i can do is a hand stand and a hand walk, no backflip, im too scared of landing on my head coz i do things on grass...
Anyone know any sites etc where u can learn to do things like this or watch any other videos??
