Double Back Flip - Gymnastics
In my opinion the double back flip is the technique that separated intermediate gymnasts from the really good ones. Of course you should be able do all the single flips before you try this and I recommend everybody to try this flip into water at first. Find more gymnastics skills at gymnastics main.
Description: Double Back Flip - Gymnastics
- To learn the double back flip, build up mats and mini-tramp like shown in the illustration.
- Go into a handstand and bounce off a couple of times. This simulates a good round-off.
- Then do a back flip on top of the mats and keep going with a back roll. The mats have to be super soft for this.
- Get this motion smoother and smoother. You will see results very soon.
Trainer advice: Double Back Flip - Gymnastics
- The mini-tramp variation shown above is one of the best ways to learn the double back flip. Also jump from a 1m springbaord into water.
- A more professional method of learning this is jumping from a tumbling track into a gymnastics pit (foam rubber cubes).
- Warm up and stretch sufficient before you work on difficult flips like this one.
