yep

in some like gymnastics they have these big like cylinders that are foam. and you can basically roll over backwards to get used to the motion of throwing yourself backwards.

I used to be pretty good at backflips on trampolines, and I could jump pretty well. One day at the lake I decided to get about to my calves in water and just huck a backflip. I practiced in the water until I felt confident enough to take it on the shore, then I started doing them there.

After that it was all over. Started doing them flatland, etc.

Low diving board, do a back dive but keep looking forward, body will follow.

Note: push away from board as to avoid concussion.

Its actually fundamentally easier than a front flip.
