Can you help me learn how to do a backflip?

Sure! Start by learning the basic steps. Make sure you warm up and stretch before you attempt a backflip. Start with getting comfortable with the position for a backflip, which is similar to a handstand. Get used to the feeling of your feet being above you, and practice jumping up and jumping down in the same spot. Extend back and practice rotating your body in the air as you jump both forward and backward. After you become comfortable with the motion, start off by attempting a backflip into a soft surface like a mattress. When you are ready, you can attempt one over a larger height such as a foam pit. With practice and the proper form, you should be able to learn a backflip!
