Right bro I learned a backflip on a trampoline 2years ago I’ve been trying hard and I can now do it on ground just do some research before you try again if you ever do
This is my ends
C'mon mike!
Ya mike should try again
imagine one of bp girls learning a backflip
It’s 2020, time to come back to this Mike.
Lamp yes
trainsirf yes
Roman Alberti yes
Cat Man yes
Yes
3 years later, will he finally try again??? Find out next time on the next episode of "Learning everything" Season 2020
Can’t go anywhere now
Look at what year it is now
Worlds gone to shit
Doesnt need to go anywhere he can practice on grass. Lots of people dont have access to trampoline parks anyways
He's old
hi! i’m a gymnast so here’s some advice:
- A back tuck is easier to do but harder to learn than a front tuck. What people do is get scared of going backwards because u can’t see where you are going rather than a front tuck.
- Just go for it
- when you jump, swing arms back and grab your knees as fast as you can to get rotate faster
- Gravity is your best friend, it rotates you. all you need to really do is jump high and grab your knees
-lean back a bit
- stuff up your legs when you land to stick the landing!
Good luck! waiting for a part 2! it’s almost 2020
hannaahhh Let’s see
Dupex same
A cow boy tuck is easier
Same thing with a cork its easier but scarier
The only part that isn’t good about this advice is the leaning back part and the “gravity is your best friend” part. Gravity for flips is your worst enemy, the higher you go, the faster you fall, it doesn’t give you the rotation, swinging your arms/letting your hips fall behind then pulling them up is what rotates you.
still waiting for part 2 of the backflip series mate.... when are you gonna do it?
Ill do it if you do it ;)

@@TheZelanGaming The best way to learn is to go to a foam pit. That way you can just send it without the the fear of getting hurt.

Not saying he can't do it but to say it's super easy is wrong
@@3dstaco it is super easy
I can see that he has been able to overcome the fear of getting over his head, and it's simply up to technique and learning to tuck and rotate faster. I learned a backflip on flat ground, but it took me about 2 years of struggling at the stage he got to, because I simply did not have enough vertical, as well as didn't know how to tuck hard enough after leaving the ground. It motivated me to lose weight to increase my vertical, but when I had the vertical, I worked my way from backflip downhill until I could land flat, and it took only about a week or two. The one fear holding you back, is you lose vertical because u jump backwards onto the mattress
Its been 3 years... i think its time mike... we all believe in you. You need to overcome your fear
Hey man! I actually love your channel! Keep it up!
I myself am an international level gymnast, and have a few tips for you! I managed to teach one of my housemates to do this in only 20 minutes!!
Firstly! Go to a gymnastics club! Not a trampoline park. You will have so much more facilities and progression steps for learning!
Step 1. You mentioned, you need to learn to jump off of the hard ground. So what I would first perfect, is your standing jump.
Step 2. Jump backwards onto a high box. Start at say hip height, and build this up. Until it is at almost shoulder height. Note. You need to jump backwards into a seating position, not to your feet. In order to do this you need to jump up high, and not backwards.
Step 3. Now move onto the pits. As you have done in the video. But start by being supported. Not alone
Step 4. Go onto a mat. The pit should be lower than the floor. And so when you add a mat, the floor is still lower and you have some extra height.
Step 5. Add more matts until it is level with the floor.
Step 6. Perform on the gymnastics floor. The gymnastics floor is softer and bouncier than your grass. It will just add a lot more safety, and make the skill easier for you.
Step 7. Move onto a harder, but still soft surface.
Step 8. Perform the backflip on real ground!!
Note! This isn't going to be easy! And may take quite a long time! As your video shows! It's a 2 parter!
Tips for the backflip!
- jump up, not backwards
- start with your arms above your head, swing them down, and then back up for the backflip
- keep your head in a neutral position. This means don't throw your head backwards. Throwing your head backwards, causes your flip to be low and long. Which is what you don't want.
I hope you take the chance to read all of this!! And good luck!!! Keep up the awesome channel!!!
MrBulletPig awesome comment. glad to see your pride and effort on the gymnastics. it's very admirable.
This is a great comment! Second this!
MrBulletPig I'm just saying, I learned to backflip about 4-6 months ago.i learned by having years of practice on a trampoline, I learned to backflip on a trampoline when I was 7 or 8. Now I learned when I was 11 by just whipping it on gross, no pads no nothing. No practice in a gym. I'm 12 now and I can land easily and clean. I understand gymnast take their flips to a more professional state but everything you said wasn't necessary. (I also got no physical help, I have no friends or relatives who flip)
I learned how to backflip on a mat at school by myself with 0 training and my friends say I have perfect form. Sometimes ya just gotta have balls😂 only if you're already athletic though
Ight Draco how old are you
Massive respect for trying this mate! I did trampoline lessons for a few years. I don't think your form was right on the flip. If you got a trampoline lesson I think it would change a lot. Right now your springing backwards instead of jumping up and tucking. Your Dad had the right idea with holding you! Wrapping a ju-jit-su belt around you and having him hold it can help a lot.
+StevenBridges yeah I think way more work on the trampoline is required. Good idea with the belt. Cheers Steven!
I could see the fear in your initial jump on the trampoline. You were vaulting straight up and then trying to perform the flip, which is why it felt so alien/awkward. Just before you let your feet come off the ground, you need to immediately commit by letting your head fall back and then allow your feet to follow. If you don't, you can put yourself in danger of landing on your head and hurting your neck. It's definitely not something easy to learn or commit to, but I hope that over time you may conquer and perform the back-flip like a seasoned pro. Best wishes.
Yo Steven bridges I didn't know you watched him I'm a magician to I saw Chris Ramsey commenting on one of Mike Boyd videos also
StevenBridges boi
I remember learning my first backflip on tramp, I thought it was so cool, then I did it on mattress and thought that was cool. Now I know how to do it on ground and I don’t even think it’s that cool 😂
*Come on Mike it's 2022! You can do this!*
Its 2020. Time for a part 2. We believe in you!
Yeah dude😁
its Feb 2, 2021! time to really do it....
In my opinion I would say backflips are 10x easier then front flips but backflips are way scarier.
Totally agree with you!!!.
snow snow yes! Every time a backflip on ground or wherever people say do a front flip I say I can’t, they’re always so confused
In my opinion front flip very easy
snow snow I can do a front flip no problem I’ve never been able to a backflip once in my life
Yeah same I learnt front flip first then back flip and noticed it was way easier
I dont think the fear was your biggest problem. You didnt learn it properly in the first place. Jumping up is the main key in doing a backflip and you did it good on the trampoline but from the edge and board you just jumped way too far back. I learned a backflip on sand on the beachvolleyball court. Maybe give it a try ,because doing a backflip from the ground on 50cm high matresses is not the best starting point...But carry on, because learning a backflip for me was one of the best feelings. Its not hard, but overcoming the fears and landing it for the first time is just so good!
thanks for the comment. I think you are right about jumping to far back. Maybe I'll go to sand.
Mike Boyd
The way I got over the fear of going over backwards on the ground was by doing the macaco. Watch Pigmies tutorial and it will greatly help with the fear. You basically just do a crappy one hand cartwheel over the side and then go more and more back until you can do a crappy back handspring. From there you try tucking and then you just go for it...
i agree its so nice when you got i down
it
Probably a bit late but rather than jumping so horizontally, jump higher vertically
Was going to say the same thing
Yeah but he's scared of landing on the ground if he jumps vertically
@@tareqal-hasan4975 Well, that's the problem with the matress. Ideally you have someone there to pull the matress into position after your feet have left the floor
@@ashscott6068 true
Mike, I just watched your rankings from back in December 2021 which led me to this video. I've never done a backflip but you have made me want to learn how to and you know what, let's try again bro! I'll learn with you and we'll do it together. I'm subscribing today and hope that this message gets seen. Keep up the cool skills man and I will keep watching forever. As soon as you hit me up, that's when I'll start to learn. Much love!
Teaching myself to backflip when I was 15 was one of the best decisions I ever made. The experience taught me more about how to handle fear and not give up easily than anything else I've ever done.
I learned it when I was 8
yeah im 14 and im trying to learn it!
@@materwelon9183 Yeah it was easier to learn as kids because we didn't have fear. But now some of us overthink resulting in doubt in ourselves. I learned it when I was 6, I got baited in to doing it. Best bait I'd ever recieved.
Did you start off on a trampoline?
@@brittneyclap8578 I personally started on my bed cuz I was just a child, then proceeded onto a pool. Then grass

You are such a genuine guy man such a real person very human it's refreshing to see in this world these days
Hey Mike, the way I learned to back flip on the floor was at a gymnastics center where they have trampolines, but also soft and hard floors that are slightly sprung, so you get more lift in the jumps, that stage is where I made the most progress. Progressing straight from trampoline to hard floor seems like a big leap in my opinion. Good luck with mastering the art!
jump up instead of backwards. the height is the key.
That's really true i'm trying to learn a back flip but it's so scary!!
smg gam3r u just need to set it. Throw those arms up and put a lot of power into the flip from both legs and arms. Don’t instantly look back. Throw ur head up then back. The power from ur legs (the jump) is the key to doing it. If you would want to. Try it at a tramp park. That’s where I learned mine.
Actually,its more of technique than you think.Less people think of the technique and more of the height.If you focus too much on height,you might forget technique and end up falling on your head. XD
I learned how to do backflips by attempting one right out of bed....I was super groggy and gave zero fucks which allowed me to actually commit to the flip...prior to that though I was doing a shit ton of backhand springs and like...idk side flips cause I was too scared to go for the full on backflip. Technique, and commitment are the keys I would say, but I'm not an expert on flips and don't really do them too much anymore.
This is exactly the case, but I think Mike realized that and it's exactly where he stopped. It's what did me in as well. Couldn't get the courage to jump straight up and do it unless I was on the tramp
Almost 2022 now, keen to see you give this another shot!
When doing floor acrobatics ten years younger, this was actually one of the easier moves to learn (and one that I did actually manage to learn, although hopelessly lost that skill by now). Jump as high up as you can, swing your arms up and back, make a quick and tight roll (grab your ankles), and you'll go around very easily. You'll have time to straighten your legs on landing, too. Having an assistant will help you with the technique and fear, and once you have the technique down, the fear also goes away. Or if you have access to two assistants, you can use a strong belt with ropes on both sides (they make them specifically to train different types of jumps).
Guys, what tips do you have? Either to over come fear or simply just technique. Interested to hear what you think.
If you believe in yourself and have confidence(also technique as well), you can do almost anything reasonable.
Just overcome your fear and DO IT!
Hi Mike,
My advice would be build up from trampoline to springy floor then to floor. Only move on when you can comfortably backflip unassisted.
Technique wise try looking at a point in front of you, say on a wall and keep looking at it all the way round (this is to stop your throwing your head back), this will make your chin go to your chest and increase your rotational velocity. Secondly, grab your ankles in the tuck, this to make you tuck harder than just grabbing your knees. Other than that looking good keep it up !
Be confident, switch off the brain and train. Don't jump so backward, your jump need to be higher, I mean you need to stay at the same point. Use your knees, to train try to jump without flipping just jumping and bringing your knees the upper you can, on the spot, when you reach the higher spot grab them with your hands. This will give you impulsion before the flip. Arms are an help to the start the move. but the main thing is dont go so backward, you can of course because you will but not so much. sorry for the bad english french here, keep someone with you to help flipping for safety and for to protect ya neck ! good luck with that
I saw a youtube video some time ago about how to do a backflip. He started from the ground and did a lot of steps from just rolling until the actual backflip, like doing your backflip with keeping one hand on the ground and things like that.
look for local gymnasts and ask them to give you some advice on your technique
It’s 2019 and there’s still no part 2. I hope you can do it mike. I remember when you came into my primary school in Dundee when you had about 20k subs and now look at you, 1 million subs down the road. Well done mike.
It's 2022, time to come back to this mike.
Quarantine is such a great time to come back to this Mike!! Give the people motivation!
Still pretty impressive how close you were able to get in so little time.
Rory Semple it's not hard to do them on trampolines, I'm sure Mike will agree it is really the fear of having your head in a position where you can snap your neck if you screw up that will limit you the most on a trampoline. On solid ground I'm not sure, never cared to learn it on the ground
He wasn’t very close at all. It looks impressive but he hasn’t really progressed very much. Still very far from doing backflip..

I'm new to this channel and I've binge 70% of your videos in the last 48 hours. I really enjoy these videos because it is mostly you overcoming feats you didn't think you could achieve.
I don't feel like I could learn a new skill. I probably could but work and life and my own confidence gets in the way. BUT after watching this channel I feel like small victories every day can make myself better.
Thanks Mike.

If you already do it seems easy of course, but that fear I think is the hardest part, I tried a few years back, couldn't do it :)

Honestly if you just tucked harder (i.e bring your knees all the way into your chest) you'd have it down.
He needs to try to go up instead of going to jump as far back as possible. This is not a long distance back flip. It is trying to get the height to complete the rotation.

mike tips to land backflip
tip1 should always practise jumping high
tip2 practise roll backs
tip3 in mid air try to tuck and pop
tip4 always know were to land
tip5 do it first on the matress if you feel comturble try to solid grass
tip6 try to backflip with partner holding your back
tip7 try to backflip alone in matress
tip8 once you fell comturble alone backflip in matress try on grass
tip9 if you landed it on grass try solid floor with partner then try alone
tip10 one you feel comturbel in all this tips you should landed it by yourself
that’s it
Time to reattempt man I learned it a day ago and it reminded me of you.
It’s 2023 mike,you need to come back to this
It sounds like your wife gets genuinely excited for the stuff you do, and that’s really great
Your technique for the flip is good but you jump way too much to the back you should’ve tried to put that power into going upward
wich means bc he jumps backwords his technique is not good he should jump up and flip
Definitely. He always landed on this face because he did not concentrate on going upward instead of going backward.
It’s 2021 , time to come back to this mike
Something I used when learning to front flip that helped a lot is stacking mattresses. You aren’t getting the height you need due to fear so to fix that you stack more mattresses in order to make the ground higher. That way you’re less nervous about landing on your knees and it sets you up for a higher jump when you remove the mattresses.
when the music stops at 2:55 you know something's up lol
Time for part 2 of the backflip
After learning a backflip on the trampoline. I did a backflip in just 2 days with the help and encouragement of one friend. That's all it takes! Hopefully you try again Mike! Looking forward to it in the future. Maybe before 2020 ends?
It's almost 2020, time to come back to this Mike.
when you jumped in the foam pit you jumped backwards, try to jump straight up in the air and and make ''a ball'' just when you hit the dead point and are about to drop down again. this way you make more height and give yourself more hang time/more time to turn. and if you make the ball strong and use your arms and knees correctly i BET you will get it.
i learned the backflip AFTER i learned the wall flip, but as many others here say, a friend of mine also learned it in sand.
keep up the cool videos, i'm always looking forward to these. my favorite channel on youtube :)
+Guzinato r thanks for the tips. Very insightful.
Hey Mike, I just want to say that it took me 6-8 years to actually learn to backflip on the ground. I had been doing backflips for years and was even good at it. One close call freaked me out for years and hindered my advancement. My advise would be to keep trying and to spend time with people who can already backflip on the ground. Their excitement will help motivate you to get it. Persistence is key!
How old were you though? I'm in my late-30's and while I agree that you're never too old to learn sth (within reason) I can't see me suddenly working up the courage to do this. I'd be scared shitless of paralysing myself by landing on my head, cracking my spine, etc.
As someone who has done a lot of difficult tricks, confidence and technique are both needed. The better your technique the better your confidence. I learned on a trampoline and then onto soft grass.
It's 2020,time to comeback to this mike
When I learned how to backflip what helped me get over the fear was to look at the ground in front before I flipped instead of looking straight forwards

Mannn!! You got to complete this.. it aint that bad Mike.. just do it!!
CMON IT HAS BEEN 3 YEARS YOU NEED TO COME BACK FOR THIS PLEASE COME BACK
I may be a little upset that you didn't accomplish the backflip (yet!) but this video has a great message and it's quite motivating.
Here are some tips.
- throw ur arms as high as u can for more momentum.
- tuck half way through the flip not at the last second.
- keep practicing on a trampoline, it helps a lot in the process.
😀 have fun
It’s 2020 Mike, you should tackle this once and for all!
