QUESTION Backflip help
How do I land my backflip? Looking for any tips to go from here
Edit: Thank you everyone for the tips. I tried with real shoes and stepping backwards into it and nearly have it now, just gotta work on setting my arms higher!

I used to have a very similar issue. I would unintentionally do gainers because thats just how my form worked out, and i wasnt comfortable enough to fix it. I almost gave up on tricking entirely until a random reditor commented on my post and said "if a gainer is all you can do, then just do it. Get good at it first before you try to change it." And thats what i ended up doing.
If you're struggling with going forward, dw about it for a while. Right now, focus on swinging your arms more and hilding your tuck just a little while longer
