Back Flips

A backwards rotation, where the person plants both hands on the ground and "springs" off on to his feet.

A trick where the performer jumps up and rotates 360° backwards along the sagittal plane (or about the x-axis), before returning to his feet. What sets this apart from a regular backflip is the lack of a tuck. Instead of bringing the knees to the chest, the practitioner uses his back muscles to force the rotation while at the same time bringing his hips as high as possible to maintain height.

A trick where the performer jumps up and rotates 360° forwards along the sagittal plane (or about the x-axis) as well as rotating 180° along the transverse plane, before returning to his feet. He should land facing the opposite direction from which he took off.

Backflip

A flip with two full twists. In this trick, the performer jumps up and rotates 360 degrees backwards along the sagittal plane (or about the x-axis) while at the same time spinning 720 degrees along the transverse plane, before returning to his feet.
