My first attempt at a backflip was on cushions and I landed with my hands and feet. You just have to watch a few videos on you tube and then think about everything you learnt and just full commit. Commitment is the key. Just keep practicing and one day you will get it.

Best backflip tutorial on YT!
"Don't listen to anyone else; You know when you're confident and you know when you're ready enough." Couldn't agree more!

I don't know if this'll help but I also have one weird tip to get your confidence in doing a backflip. The first thing I did was when everytime my friends and I go to a pool party I always do back flips eventhough I don't know how to to them on land. And as I got comfortable with the feels of being upside down. I start to do it at the side of the bed. Not on the bed or not or a soft mat or sofa. I position myself for a backflip beside the bed and do them and land on the bed on my stomach or on my knees(but somehow you fall down from the bed but you can catch yourself) And when I'm comfortable doing it beside the bed I go to a soft mat or the mattress from your bed and actually try to do a full backflip. But also remember that when practicing on a mat, don't start jumping off a back flip on the matt. Start on the floor(stand directly beside the matt) so you won't get use of having the matt help you jump a little higher. Hope this helps too

Here's how I got over the fear... I learned to do backwards dives into a pool then I tucked more and did a backflip into a pool.. Then I ran inside my house dried off and took the mattress off my bed and did them on that . Once I was good doing that I did them from the mattress onto my carpet. Then I did it on a really thin mattress then on the carpet . Now I can do them wherever. For the people who think they will land on ur head... U have to suck really bad to land on ur head. For me backflips are easier than front flips just more scary

I want to thank you for making this video. It helped me do a back handspring the first day I tried it. I could do it all along but it was just the fear. I want to become a free runner so I decided I might as well decide to learn to do a backflip. I can tell I'm almost there and this is the video that got me there.
