I just learnt how to frontflip [:O]

Good for you.

vid vid please

Haven't got a good camera [:(] I'll get my friend to film it at some point.

i asume you mean without a trampoline, or do you....

Without. I learn on the grass in my back garden.

kool

you know how to backflip?

oh, youre still on your hm.. i forgot how its called.

that french sport when you jump through fences and walls.

mm.. parkour something.. right? :|

from what i heard, backflip is far EASIER than frontflip! you just gotta have the balls ;)

I can't backflip *sniff*

Koil: Le Parkour.

Haha, nice. I'll have to try it sometime as well.

How do you land? Do you land crouching or standing? Slanted forward, or back. By the way, who here can do a kip? =D I can do it without using my hands. Teehee.

I can do no handed kip ups too [:D]

Well, I land kinda half crouched most of the time. One of the first flips I did I landed virtually stood up! And I land slanted backwards really, but I only learnt today...gotta practice.

:D I gotta try this. I bet I can probably accomplish it after a few days of trying. :P Yeah, actually, I learned about the no-handed kip by accident. It was at recess and I was gonna kip, but right before I did, a football flew at me, and I used my hands to catch it, but in the meanwhile I couldn't stop my legs' motions, and I kipped and caught the football at the same time. :P Stuff happens, lol.

I'd think that the way you jump while attempting a flip is the most essential. You can't control how fast you spin, but you can control how high and at what angle you jump.

What is a kip up?

A kip up is when a person is laying down on the ground, and they point their feet up at the sky at an angle, their knees bent and over their stomach. They put their hands on the ground, beside their head, and push with all parts of the body so that they'd fly up in the air head down, flip so that they are standing straight, and land. A no handed kip-up is when they don't use their hands, which requires a LOT more leg muscle work. Basically, a no handed kip up is like throwing your legs up in the air, and letting them CARRY the rest of your body.

Ville: A kip up is when you are laying on your back, and you put your hands behind your head and push off while flicking your legs up and down so you end up standing up [:P] very cool party trick.

Kazuki: You need to get a fairly fast run up on some grass, and do a small jump while raising your arms above your head. Land with your feet next to each other and jump up as powerful as possible, and as you do that, throw your arms down as hard as possible. Then just tuck up into a ball (I grab the back of my thighs with my hands to do this) and sit out the spin. You'll probably hit your ass the first times.

Yeah, I know, XD. I'm prepared to risk my ass. I never thought about the thrusting your arms down part. If you do that in front of you while in the air, it will probably give you a bigger spin.

But what if you fall on your head? I don't want to be like stalky for the rest of my life. (Check hitmans fav quote. ;P)

Tis a risk, my smart friend. lol

Unless you are retarded, you will never land on your head in a frontflip. Same for backflips too, according to my sources.

lol, I'm not gonna bother downloading that. :P Sorry.

And Stalky is right. If you attempt a flip and break something very critical, then you are both disabled and retarded. Think about it. If you try to spin in the air, you would at least land on your back. I would suggest laying out a few thick blankets on the ground in front of you on your first try. I'm not though. :P Screw it.

I have that already! Team Ryouko, brilliant people.

Jesus, this has been turned into a chat client.

nice video bucky, although i knew how to do most of that already ^^

How much do you guys weigh? I'm 98 pounds. Don't know if that's good or bad. =|

63 kg, 180 cm... Is it too much for doing all those flips and and other tricks? :P

180 at age 13?!?!?!

Yes. Goddamnit whats so special about it? It makes me feel retarded when people say something like that.

Oh my god, Ville, I'm 64kg and 180cm. We're the same size [:O]

nothing wrong
its just that i was like 150 when i was 13 =(
now, dunno 175-180
and im a lightweighter... :/

:O

Weird. But that kinda answered my question. :P But i am still too afraid to even drop on my back... :(

what do you mean by " drop on my back " ?
lay down, sit?

When trying a frontflip...

I used to be, but today I just did it. Ville, try going onto some grass and just flipping onto your back from standing. Helps with the fear.

Meh.. I'll just be someone who can't do a frontflip instead of a retard for rest of my life. Thanks anyways. :P

Edit: Or maybe some day i'll try. :P I just somehow mixed backflip and front flip with eachother. oO

Hahaha! Ahahahaha! Ok, check this out. Compared to you guys, I'm no bigger than a bug.

Height: 63 inches / 157.48 centimeters
Weight: 95 pounds / 43.5 kilograms

ROFL!

ok as long as we are posting body stats..
Hieght: about 6' or 6'1
Weight about 230

Kazuki, you're like a dwarf [:O] but if you have a normal jump like me, then you should have no trouble flipping. In fact, it'd be easy for you.

Normal jump? Rofl, I hop like a radioactive rabbit! Should be easy if you say so.

What the heck is a normal jump?

The average jump height for a normal human being...

And fell on my ass.
VilleK says:
Rofl


[:D] It's not all that hard once you get the hang of it. I tried it 4 times. First, I fell on my ass. Second, I made it, half-crouching. Third, I barely made it but then fell back afterwards and ended up in a crabwalk position. And finally, on the 4th try, I got the same result as the second. Of course, I have done doubles flips before on trampolines. :P I've had a lot of practice, and a lot of falling experience, lol. On a trampoline, that is.

Oh, you go girl! [:D]

I knew he was a girl...

Damn... I almost tried but then "what if" came into scene and i didn't try... :/

Edit: Tried again.. But after finding myself on my face for about 20 times i got frustrated enough. I just don't seem to understand how you are supposed to jump...

i can do frontflip 180 on tramponline [:I]
that's it :(

I tried to do a frontflip, I fell on my face and broke my nose, and chipped my tooth and broke a rib. In fact, I'm typing this in the intensive care room at the hostpital now. :(

Bleh. Did a frontflip over my friend who was laying down today. Much fun. Also, I tried it again and went wrong, and flew about 2 metres before landing on my ass [B)]

Stalky it seems this world is filled with retards now. Right?
^Stupid comment. :O

Edit: Sekushi.. Drink milk. ;P And how did you drop on your face? :O I atleast manged to get my hands between the ground and my face. :P

i think i can jump pretty high

im somewhere around 5'10 give or take an inch, and i can outjump one of my friends whos 6'2
:D

i can do a back flip without my hands, either with a tree (which looks alot cooler) or just on the spot.

i dont know how to backflip though without my hands though ;\

Cool, but if I could understand your message, it would be cooler.

I think he means he can backhandspring and backhandspring off a tree.

Well i would like them to see doing all that stuff without Trampoline.. :) they got lots of stuff to help them :/

...What?

Bah. I can't even find a good place to try. :/ + I suck at stuff like this. :(

Me too, but I don't worry, because I can get by on my sexiness.

lol, Backhandspringing off of a tree? Sounds painful.

Also, ClanKwH meant that hed like to see the people on that video do all their tricks without trampolines. He says they've got a lot of stuff to help them in their performances and practices.

Oh I see. Well, one their site (www.teamryouko.com) you can download a movie of them doing some cool stuff in the streets of Canada [;)]

if i could do [:-censored] like those guys in that movie, id get all the chicks
