Back Flips Part 2
12 Aug 6 Comments
A little while ago I wanted to learn back flips. Well here is the 2nd part which was never posted (filmed circa March 2009).
Tried doing back flips on my own over and over.
Clearly wasn’t consistently working so I needed to consult someone who knew proper technique. Had a bunch of moderate attempts, one great success and one nearly-nose-breaking failure:
Got a scar, fortunately went away:
Like my nose too much to sacrifice for a back flip, so decided to get some proper instruction with proper safety equipment:
Made video of my first back flip attempts:
Weekly practices interrupted by travel. Manage to make the 2nd part of video:
Finally got them down!
When learning by myself, imapct after impact took a toll on my knees.
In this case:
No fear + No skill = Bad results.
Just to make sure nothing was really wrong:
Doctors visit + four weeks of physical therapy.
Watching that face-plant….priceless!
