How I Learned To Backflip In 6 Hours (Neck Injury)

I decided to step out of my comfort zone and learn a backflip for the first time ever. I enlisted the help of a professional gymnastics coach to help guide me step by step on how to do a backflip. Learning the actual backflip basics was easy.... however, pushing through the fear of doing one is a different story. Although I was able to eventually overcome the fear it did come back to haunt me one more time and could have injured me. watch to find out how.

It very looks like 90% of the backflip is getting mentally ready to flip backward. This is even harder than the movement itself

[joecadman]

It's so sick that Brandon is now really trying to expand his skills outside of calistheniscs as well as in calisthenics. Would love to see you learn parkour for 90 days as this would require a lot of strength and also improve strength throughout your whole body. Another great video🔥💪

The quality of Brandon’s videos really do be going like 📈📈📈

[chriskogias]

Quality content as always ! Learning the backflip was one of my first YouTube videos ! I learned it in one day 2 hours most specific but I had 0 fear barrier from the start 😅😂

Your injury is the exact same injury that stopped me from what I love and what I do my whole life, trampoline. I honestly know how it feels and I'm really sorry for what happened to you but I'm so happy you had fun during this video!

Be safe man doing this shit
Breaking the neck is my biggest fear in backflip

I learned to backflip last year, and one thing I still struggle with is rotation because I don’t tuck fully. When you flip, your form is flawless. The early habits from coaching definitely helped tremendously. You’re so good!

Congrats on getting your backflip! A huge part is mental and having the right coach and progressions. I got a backflip earlier this year at Power Monkey Camp, it took less than an hour. Wonderful coaching (Shane de Frietas), we started with mats and back-rolls, slowly elevating to get the launch. Next was the pit, then onto the mat on the floor. BTW, I'm 57 years old, a lot of your followers can do this...

As a gymnastic athlete and a coach it’s a huge mental battle with any new skills and to go out with no training and get past the mental block is huge so congrats on the skill I hope u keep working on it hope u feel better 👍🏻

Dude, I wanted to say. You are a great inspiration, i've been thinking of trying to learn the Backflip but I've been scared of just thinking about it. But Man, You really have inspired me, not just with the backflip, but overall. Thank you for all these vids. They are amazing. I'm happy that i'm subscribed to your channel.

I learned the backflip with a friend at school, unfortunately i havent done one for a year. So i will learn it again and after beeing able to do a backflip again, i want to do it everyday, so i can get routine. Love your videos.

At some point in my Life I definitely want to be able to do a Backflip. Overcoming the fear is really hard. Good job!

[mattq.]

Wanted also to learn backflip but it seems so dangerous, so congratulations to you Brandon!!!

Brandon is never afraid to do something new... and DANGEROUS!!! Keep it up Man!

[animalKingdom]

"either died or got completely paralysed" lmao just when I thought of learning it

[richarddavison]

Fantastic work! Very motivating to see someone just go out and achieve what they want too!
Just wanted to throw an extra tip to anyone learning to flip, I got taught to always keep my chin tucked in so if I do mess up, I land on my shoulders instead

[cardist]

Honestly this video was just amazing! I am currently learning how to backflip on hard ground because I can only do it on a tramp right now. Very entertaining video and great to see your process of doing it. Always so nice to see someone succeeding when they first thought it would be impossible to do :D

[thor-bjrnjensen]

Brooo you are so crazy! I freaking love you’re content, it’s amazing how dedicated you are to all these things you are learning! You are truly an inspiration, keep up the great work man, you are gonna get to the top very soon!❤️💪🙏

[victoraz]
