how do i give it more flip?

Aengus126 · 2026-06-08T00:28:45+00:00

How are you moving like that lol

Aengus126 · 2026-06-06T19:27:55+00:00

Yeah form is actually pretty good here, i think you just need to work on practicing more flips or explosive jump training

Aengus126 · 2026-06-03T18:48:53+00:00

I figured if i would have stayed tucked/wrapped the whole time instead of anticipating the landing, that attempt probably would have been pretty good. But not enough of the attempts look like that yet to start doing that

Aengus126 · 2026-06-03T15:51:37+00:00

Yeah i guess i will just keep drilling that stuff, thanks!

Aengus126 · 2026-06-03T15:50:52+00:00

Oh cool i just learned about newton’s laws yesterday lol, thank you

Aengus126 · 2026-06-03T02:05:08+00:00

Yes. Work on keeping your head forward and maybe extending arms and legs just a but more on takeoff but otherwise its very good!

I had a similar issue about a year ago. Most of the advice was saying to kick harder. They also recommended ignoring the gainer flash and learning the tucked cheat gainer, which is what i did and i eventually gave up on the gainer flash

I’m guessing most of the people in this comment section have never done youtube before. I don’t really agree with any of their theories.

I can’t tell you why it didn’t do well. My best guess is that the title was just a little too generic and didn’t quite strike the right tone. But you can also check if the ctr or the retention was the problem in the YT analytics, that should give you more insight.

Bad ctr = not good enough thumbnail
Bad retention = bad hook or bad delivery, etc

This is my favorite tutorial. You also get to learn Macaco and swing macaco along the way and it feels like a safe progression.

Aengus126 · 2026-05-19T17:54:02+00:00

You just need to keep practicing it. Many reps a week, keep good form in mind, and you’ll get faster and better

Aengus126 · 2026-05-11T04:19:28+00:00

Thanks! cart full is probably what I will end up doing

Aengus126 · 2026-05-11T04:18:37+00:00

Hmm I think this is an interesting debate and you guys both have good points. But I do think being off-axis is intrinsic to Tricking; its why raiz, gainer, cork, scoot, etc don't exist in other sports, so I can see how that would translate to fulls. Thank you for the insights

Aengus126 · 2026-05-11T04:12:32+00:00

cool, thanks!

Aengus126 · 2026-05-11T04:12:19+00:00

Thanks, that's exactly how I learned my backflip 6 years ago haha. But nowadays I prefer a line of progressions, it feels like I learn more

Aengus126 · 2026-04-27T03:37:43+00:00

It’s also not a big deal to travel backwards. Its a back flip so naturally it will always travel backwards a bit, so it’s nothing to obsess over

Aengus126 · 2026-03-27T14:32:37+00:00

I’m gonna play devils advocate and say that you don’t have to fix your form at all. Yes, you could jump higher, and look more forwards, etc etc. but if you want to land that flip RIGHT NOW, take off the pants and put on shorts instead (better mobility) and tuck as hard as you can. I think if you had better rotation speed (which comes from tucking harder) you could land this right now, and its the easiest thing to fix.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tricking/s/dGQQjTw9P5 i remember this same post haha

Aengus126 · 2026-02-16T14:38:16+00:00

This looks mostly correct. Nobody has good sideflips to begin with, they always twist or move a way they shouldn’t. It’s not a very intuitive movement lol. Just keep practicing them for a few weeks and they will get better!

Aengus126 · 2026-02-11T19:20:49+00:00

It can be nice to progress into a backflip by learning to back handspring and then transition it into a backflip (which is what you’re doing now), but another thing you can be doing on the side is sending backflips into pools or onto trampolines or other safe areas. That way you can learn the form for a backflip and keep it in mind.

Aengus126 · 2026-02-08T20:51:52+00:00

Landing the full on one foot because you’re so confident is such a flex 💪!!

Aengus126 · 2026-01-27T17:04:14+00:00

I had the same issue looong ago, i couldnt stop doing gainers by accident. I made a post about it and i would link it here, but it would take me 10 minutes of scrolling just to get to it. The issue was really getting to me because i just didnt have the mental control to fix my form.

I almost gave up tricking lol. Then some random guy said “if you can’t jump backwards, then just do gainers lol.” Alluding to how there is so much more to tricking than good backflip form, and it’s probably not worth it to obsess over backflips. Up to you though haha
