you are so sexy and you have a nice firm butt

1st o yea

im 12 do u think i can do it?

You should put this on youtube cuz it is the best one i could find ever

you woldent belive how many chics i got with this one thanks thanatos.

it really doesnt matter whether you look down or not. once you know you can do it,, you can doit with your eyes closed. but it can mess up someone who is jsut starting to learn. youll feel if you go nigh enough. but if you canjumpabout a foot, you'll be good.just depends how fearless you are.

I was told NOT to look down when you jump....

i look down before i try to do one but it doesn't look like i jump high enough i jump about a foot high

can you do a backflip, frontflip or aerial off of the second floor of a building or from a short house. Maybe even the roof of a car? A trash can? A brick? A BALCONY OF A SECOND FLOOR HOTEL? sorry, getting a little ahead of myself... Urban Ninja by EMC Monkeys got me crazy to do stuff like this.

no. it isnt hard for shorter peopel to do this. is anything, its easier. less you need to rotate around and throw aroudn in the air. you sohuld be fine. if you can jump atleast 8 inches off the ground your good. seriously. i learend in a day.

is it harder for short people to do this?!?!

The only problem that I have is that i can't get high enough when i jump..... well thats what my friends tell me..

Hey! to anyone who wishes to learn how to backflip, this video does show you, do not be discouraged. Thanatos knows what he is doing. and this is no disrespect to him what-so-ever. but Xylem and myself will be submitting a "How To Backflip with Spotters" video to help all of you who are doughtful. It is not hard at all. YOu simply need friends. All will be explained in the video. It ups the safety alot and you dont even need a mat. we will explain everything, but again, this is not to one-up Thanatos, only help you with his method. You can seriously learn it in a day. Me and Xylem did.Just wait all you Viewdoers! p.s. please do not message us asking ahead of time, you must wait for the video. Thank you -The BackYard Ninjas

oh shizzy men... I wanna do this but i just don't dare to do this! I always jump up i wanna make the flip i turn like 5° and i come back down... and thanatos Why/how do you post 6 fantastic videos and just visit the site 4 times?

hey if i may add something, i've watched a couple other of these tutorials on youtube and stuff, and heres some of the tips i learned: do not arch your back practice raising your arms and then tucking while on your back for speed use a SPOTTER spotters are for people too scared and also for safety. the spotter should be able to easily hold/catch you and should not be scared to get hit in the face. watch some videos on youtube or on here to learn more

better work if it do thank

Hardcore dancing always helps...i suppose it sikes you up. Are those your dogs?

why wnt this clip load

Seriously, I want to learn this so I can show my friends. But it' way to hard to do, and I'm too scared to do it.

if they follow wat this person told us?

can anyone do a backflip?

lush videos they are all amazing ill be attempting them all when my vertical jump is a bit higher as it is pitiful now! thanks for the videos

I'm too fat to do it. :(

wow, DO NOT JUMP BACK LMFFAO ROFLMFFAO

do you think a 24 inch standing vertical jump is enough?

Hey I seem to be having trouble with the launching in the air part and i really want to be able to learn all of your moves. If it is possible could you contact me of a different way like massager or email to help me get it down solid. thx.

Thats pretty awsome, what else can you do?

Same, can u show us how to do a front flip/tuck :)

Hey man, was wondering if you could tell me how to do I front flip, hope you dont mind. For those of you who are wondering if they shold do this or not I want to tell you guys that you WILL SCREW UP if you're NOT CONFEDIENT. If you feel nervous just dont do it and try this on a soft matteres first. Thats what I did and it helped me.

Hey guys, I'm 14 and I can't jump terribly high, about 18 inch give or take, and I'm wondering whether that's high enough to be able to execute a backflip, without killing myself. I've tried over and over again, even off a poof (a foot-rest) but I can't seem to get enough spin (can I call it that?) to get further than half way through. Help please?

[quote:c69c83da73="MrVeryFunny"]This is some really cool stuff but im having alot of dificult..i think i am jumping back! i need an assistant..can anybody help? do we have to be flexible for this?[/quote:c69c83da73] You don't have to be not flexible. :twisted: Flexibility always helps with acrobatics but the key to the backflip is the tight tuck and having strong legs to jump high enough to rotate completely.

i'm too fat to do this :evil:

This is some really cool stuff but im having alot of dificult..i think i am jumping back! i need an assistant..can anybody help? do we have to be flexible for this?

hey dude, i I've to do a backflip on a matress but keep falling on my hands and knees too. I've been jumping high with my hands up and my feet tuck in but still falling on my hands and knees. could you give me any tips.

I saw this the other day, and I thought I had to try it. I've been obsessed with it ever since. : ( I tried... well, didn't really try, but make an attempt at it with the tree yesterday (The wallflip though) and my friend stopped me. A spotter is needed, make sure someone is around to help you.

I would try to do it on trampoline or a diving board so you can get used to the motion. Also, have someone spot you to make sure your legs get enough rotation. I agree, fear of hurting myself keeps me from doing some things, but that fear also keeps me from hurting myself! Be smart and get a spotter.

My fear is preventing me from this. The elements of the world are on my side. I know I can get enough jump height and I'm quick enough to pull up my arms and legs. Any tips out there? Thank you.

Yes. JUMP UP! Not back. If you're jumping up enough you shouldn't be able to put your hands down

"D_Chi I've been trying to do a backflip on a matress but i always end up landing on me hands and knees, also my abs hurt after." im kinda in the same situation as Dchi, except instead of landing on my hands and knees, i instinctively put down my hands, transforming the movement into a backhandspring, which i dont really want to do. Anyone have any tips to correct this and turn it into a backflip?

I love URBAN NINJA. That's the first v1deoI think I ever saw on Youtube...well maybe after "Lazy Sunday"

het thanatos! i[ve been givin us some crazy ideas! i like it! but maybe i have a v1deo that will give you some ideas! check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtdYsd_QRmc

kidkick06: the song is When Everything Falls by Haste the Day.

I've been trying to do a backflip on a matress but i always end up landing on me hands and knees, also my abs hurt after.

It's certainly possible, but it's much harder in my opinion. Thanatos, what say you?

is it possible to do a front flip? i'd like to see how thats done!

I appreciate the information... I feel reading this has given me even more motivation, and confidence in pursuing my goals, even further as a Ninja.

:D Policies are indeed a funny thing. Keep in mind that we don't intend for them to pester or make people "itch" but there are obviously liabilities associated with ViewDoing that require us to cover ourselves legally. Unfortunately we cannot advise you on what works for you. You'll need to use your own judgement here. There is no guideline to related height and weight since it's completly dependant on the individual. Most acrobatics are a function of strength to weight ratio. I certainly don't reccomend attempting this if you aren't able to do it on a trampoline or off of a diving board first and after that I would try a back handspring before trying a full on backflip. Sorry to cop out, but use your best judgement, know your body's limitations, and be safe out there!

Ok, I don't read policies. Thanks for the information... is there some sort of required weight to acrobatics/gymnastics. I love Acrobatics, and I will do "whatever" it takes to make it as a Ninja. PS "Policies" make me itch....

Nick, I'm of average height and weight, and I would not try a backflip without an experienced spotter and proper training. From what I've seen, acrobatics require a high ratio of strength to weight, so I wouldn't recommend it. Remember, when you agreed to the ViewDo Terms of Use, you agreed that THE INFORMATION PROVIDED MAY NOT BE ACCURATE, SUFFICIENT OR APPROPRIATE FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR SITUATION.

Hi, my name is Nick. I am 19 years old, 6" 0' and I weigh 347 pounds... I think "that" may be too fat, but I'm not sure. I have always wanted to do Acrobatics, Ninjastics... and lots of front, and backflips. I can do handstands at my weight, but wanted to comfirm about health before attempting anything else. I used to do frontflips on the playground to impress the girls... I also used to be able to run acrossed walls. If someone could answer this it would be "most" appreciated.

i dont know who that is but if ur into it, you should listen to Norther

ay who is that extra sick extra hardcore song that plays at the end of the video. I need that shizzy man.

thats sweet. i'm gonna try it but i will probably end up in the hospital. nice video

yeah, really. how about you learn the tricks from that site. and video tape yourself doing them and explaining them. show us. not tell us to read about it.

freakin sweet. that is an awesome trick. Xylem and I really want to learn it. he already got most of the roundoff into backflip down but still. its a sweet move. great job.

Awesome trick! 5 stars!

ok today i admit.. i was too scared to do it.. so what i did was i held onto my brothers shoulder and my friends.. and it was easy... the i only used one shoulder , i am becoming more confadent.... on a trampolie i can just stand still , do it, and land perfectly.. so if i can do that do you think i can do a backflip on the ground?

nice, ill be trying that later today. very good explanation. 5 stars.

TIME TO GO SHOW UP MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!! YES!!! this will help with my break dancing too!

Cute Guy + Awesomely Hardcore Trick = Excellent ViewDo. Got my props!

[b:7c4ea7932c]S0 i MUST SAY THiS VIEWDO iS QUiTE SWEET!!!!! :!: [u:7c4ea7932c]F0STER.TN.[/u:7c4ea7932c][/b:7c4ea7932c]

wow that looks hard lol good ViewDo

Killer Hardcore moves at the end........nice ViewDo. Cirque de Soleil here I come!

Phil, you are a quick learner. I think its great advice to start with a spotter. As a spotter, I've found it works to keep you hand under their knee to make sure they get full rotation on the flip.

That is far too cool for its' own good! But at least now I can say I can backflip! :D

Either have a spotter or pre-dial the 9-1- so you only have to hit that last "1".

That was totally hardcore.

An additional piece of advice that should go without saying but doesn't-- Don't land on your head. :x Be safe out there kiddies.
