While i cannot do a backflip. I can do a backflip running up a wall. This is much easier then it looks. Put ONE foot on the wall when running and swing the other around quickly and u do a backflip. Ilearned outside against my shed with a mattris. The one thing u have to remmeber with any flip is not to do it half-assed. You can't chicken out half way or u will land un your neck! Hope that helped
