Just do it... I'm fat but I can do one...
You just have to learn to tuck your body in so you have more rotation...

Also, learn to spot your landing, if you don't, your body will tend to lean and pivot to the side mid air... h:

I learned it by just doing it. No fear=winnaR!

In all seriousness.. Just make sure you concentrate on getting your head around. Back tuck is way easier than back flip. (handspring)

if your flexible enough, just start to bend backwards while your hands are up behind you. Without jumping just flex backwards and jump up on your feet.
Its like you being standing on your hands and knees but your backwards.

Thats how I learned and Im 6'1 193lbs.. lol

I can do the Yoga sailboat/swan deal which apparently isnt exactly beginner.


I'll stretch and do the basics for a few weeks then try it. Maybe end of month or October. I'll tape the first real attempt if you all wish h:
