RE: You Can Recognise A Gymnast By Her Backflip
Took me a bit to learn the backflip a long time back. It was such a big leap to get over the fear. Getting a spotter helps the most.
Honestly, what disgusts me are those bullshit motivational videos on YouTube, "Learn a backflip in 1 hour" crap.
It's just so irresponsible and dangerous.
I had the same problem! I would always go sideways and now I prefer a backflip or contra backflip over a front flip, since you can spot your landing.
I agree they are dangerous and practise should be done with guidance and preferably in a gymnastics hall with soft mats
