How to do a backflip?

I've been trying to start on this tricking stuff for a while, but no progress. :| I could do the aerial thing, but then I fall on my shoulder/head. D: And, when I tried to do a backflip, I get an image of me falling onto my head, and breaking my neck. x_x

Yes, but, uh...I want to do that. >_>

try doing it on one of those trampolines first to figure out how to move without busting your ass.  once you got it down, practice it on some padding with someone spotting you, so they can catch you if it looks like you are going to do a face plant.

And then you need to do a barrel roll.

If you are most people, don't listen to >>4 because you have little access to a trampoline and are unlikely to ever do anything.

Also, don't have someone spot you, you'll look like a pussy fag and everyone will hate you.

Just man up. If you are anything better than the worst possible person at backflips you'll just land with a belly-flop. Still, if you are really wussy, stick with the frontflip until you get really good at that, because there is no way you'll break your neck doing that unless you're the type of person who shouldn't be doing anything physical other than walking. At least by getting the front flip down first, people will still think you're cool. Unless they ask you to do a backflip...

Also, do some ab workouts, to get a flip you have to curl yourself up midair, and that will require at least a little muscle. Plus, you can work your abs anywhere, unlike trampoline work -.-

You probably won't break your neck.  Assuming you're even in decent shape you will get halfway around, probably landing on your knees or something.

You guys are retarded.
Get a spotter and do it, don't use a trampoline.

Read the tutorial that >13 posted and remember to throw your arms back, jump straight up, and tuck. If you got that far then you can do it.

i've fallen on my head a numerous amount of times, doesn't hurt, nor does it damage your neck, or maybe thats just me.

you jump and turn in air. it
