I'm really comfortable with backflips. Can do em on flat ground and everything. Who can do em, and are they hard to stay commited etc?

just huck a backflip, stay tucked in a ball for two rotations, and commit.
make sure you get a lot of air before you throw it.

i used to be able to do a double front and land on my ass. for double backs all you gotta make sure you do is make it at least 1 and a 3/4 times around. anything more and you should be able to not hurt yourself. then bring it around to a full 2 times

my brother used to be able to do double fronts but then he fell off and broke his ankle so he couldnt really commit to it anymore. just get a lot lot lot of air and commit or you are going to land on your head.

i can pretty much do em, practice throwing 1 and then open up to land on your back, and once thats easy just get a bigger bounce and stay tucked, you gotta commit though

i can do double fronts, not backs...but for the fronts get a double bounce and just huck it if you can do one on the ground you can do a double on the tramp.
my buddy does double backs without the double bounce, he just tucks sooo good i cant stay tucked on the double back long enough...i always get like 1 3/4 and land on my face so i just quit haha
commit son youll get it

I used to do the same. I'd never land, I'd just flip onto my back/sit down

my friend can do them on a normal tramp, but he tumbles, soo i guess that helps a lot, but yeah the basic idea of how he says to do them is just stay in the tuck, most people want to come out early

Yep, tuck and commit and get a spike for more air, my buddy Drew used to toss them when I spiked him, but trying them without it beforehand he always underrotated.

trampolines scare me i'm afraid of either falling off or landing on the metal side and splitting my body open

hah, I thought I went pretty high to be honest.. at least it was enough for a complete rotation

well the body mechanics of a back flip should make them easier but people are too afraid to do them so everyone thinks front flips are easier.

Question for anyone who has at least come close at both double fronts and double backs. I'm much more comfortable w/ backflips than frontflips, so which one first? double front or double back?
ALso for those of you who can spin back 540's, I can spin back 3's ez but how do you get the extra rotation for the 5? All I an think of is a better tramp (more air/room).

cant throw the dubs although ive never tried...but id say try the dub backflip just b/c your more comfortable with them.
now for the backflip 5's you just want to focus on more spin than flip and you should be able to do it. if not...probably just need a double bounce or something.
