Hero Skill: The Backflip
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Doing a backflip is something we often see heroes in movies and comic books do. It looks cool, and it’s a lot of fun to do!
Watch this weeks video and take some tips from me about the proper building blocks. After making the video I also realized that later on I should probably make a video about the proper way to fall.To summarize my safety tips:
Start on something soft (mats or a trampoline).
Use spotters if you can to start.
Remember to stay tucked! People only fall on their heads when they lose confidence and untuck to early.
If you un-tuck slightly early remember the worst that will happen is you will fall on your knees and hands. I’d recommend looking up a video on proper break-falls (I’ll make one soon), so DON’T PANIC!
Watch other videos, remember supplement yourself with all of the information you can and there is no substitute for professional training.
Oh yeah, as with all of these activities. Have fun!
