Backflip 360 to 720 - Gymnastics

This is when you jump backwards from both legs, twist at least 360 degrees and land on
both legs again. No hand - floor contact. This can be done tucked or straight.
The tucked version is easier to flip, the straight version is easier to twist.
You should be able to perform a backflip layout with round-off and a back flip half twist
before before you try this.
