so i was at track one day during school last year. I was laying on our highjump mat and descided to try a backflip. I get up and get all ready jump spin half way untuck land on my face. My friends said my face was under my back and level with it to.

So now whenever im on a tramp i chicken out and cant do them. it pisses me off. How should i learn them now?

end rant.

do them like me

but you dont have a tramp

but brendan does

just start trying them, and eventually you will spin hard enough to get around enough to land on your stomach, then you will realize your not gonna get hurt, then there easy

thats what i did

so get your ass over to brreeeeendons and do it

just go for it. the worst thing you can do to yourself is psyche yourself out before going for it

1. They are really easy. Just commit, get enough air, lean back and pull you knees into your chest, rotate, land.

2. Search bar.

i dont pull my knees to my chest.... it looks cool when your all the way extended

and i think its easier because if i tuck into a ball, i put my feet down too late and fall backwards
