unnecessary!

First off, try that shit on a trampoline first, if you break your neck, no more fs, which means america will crumble without you :(

Second off, at your first attempt, try it on an ELEVATED surface, scarier, but gives you more time to make the rotations

The greatest tip is remember to jump straight up, not backwards, you'll fuck yourself up doing that

I could never muster up enough guts to throw myself backwards like that. Im guessing that will be your biggest challenge as well. Overcoming that fear.

Try to land it with a spotter first, once you're able to do that well try it on something soft. Trying it directly without a spotter is the most dangerous thing ever.. :crazy:
