So I learned how to do wall flips and wall flip 180's... yea there awesome and i can do them off of almost anything but me n my friends decided to do some off a tree - bad idea. On my 3 go i was going for a wall flip 180 and when i planted on the tree the bark slipped off and with it so did my foot... i landed directly on my neck and heard a crack, first thing i checked when i finally rolled over on my stomach was that i could move my legs... scariest moment of my life... my neck was all better in a couple weeks but now i dont do them very much anymore and for good reason.

can you run up the wall? my buddy can do that, he runs at it diagonally and jumps up it, he gets about 10 feet up it and can spin off, its pretty sweet

I almost broke my neck about 2 years ago, doing a back flip on a trampoline. I slipped and landed on the top bone of my spine(don't know what its called).

i find wall flips easier than backflips you can be like 3 ft away then you take one step on the ground then you take one on the wall and pop off and look back its actually exactly how you think you would do it you just gotta commit and yea i can run on walls
