So i was doing backflips on a tramp, and on one i went a little big almost went off the tramp. I was a little shaken, but i felt okay.  I tryed to do it again, and it happened again.  Instead of saying all my other trys, i cant do backflips without travelling about 8 feet, and i can't do them standing at all anymore.  Anyone have any suggestions on how i could get my groove back?

All the people I know that can backy have had that problem usually ending up in catching their feet on the top of the net. I had it aswell but went right over the net and landed right on the outer ring. Kinda put me off for a bit.

Pretty easily corrected though just make sure you bounce up and then try the flip or try and jump forward a lil bit when you throw the flip.

just  make sure you are jumping strait up when you are doing them, no need to delay the flip.

Just focus on jumping up rather than back.  I think everyone has that problem when they start doing backflips.  It's just a phase

Jump up, not back. Focus on something in front of you until you can't look at it anymore while throwing the flip.
