nice nice congrats. where was that at?

That's awesome..just don't break your neck and miss next soccer season.

nice man, i learned how to do front flips this year

WERD

That is pretty awesome, but I am confused... you guys don't call that a reverse??

More balls than I have. Nice job!

Nice!

Just don't speed check and flip a little smoother, maybe grab. The scary part is over now. Backflip mutes are the shit.

yay!

I'd love an answer if someone would like to take the time to answer my question:)

Front flips and back flips. Didn't you have a pool growing up?

Yes, I have experience with both gymnastics and diving. In diving, going forward (forward momentum) but flipping backward is called a reverse... To be considered a back flip, both momentum and flip is backward. Just curious, that's all.

See http://www.usadiver.com/diving_articles/spect_guide.htm

Thanks for the answer!

I was just suggesting it was a simple answer. As kids, when you jumped backwards, you didn't use a word like 'reverse'...and it just carried into skiing.

Backflips and Frontflips
Pretty self explanatory. Here are some don in my favorite style � incredibly huge.

exactly why i dont do them. my dad would beat the living shit out of me if i hurt myself skiing, especially after my skating injury....i hate soccer....only makes my life worse...

Melissa, your right. It would be considered a gainer, but because were skiing, and their is no forward momentum applied from our bodies, its simply a backflip, almost like a back tuck...

When diving, you cannot dive straight up and down... >.< you would hit the board... So you have to have some forward momentum driven from your body. Which is why they are called gainers.... You can also see these on flat land too, just not to much because of there difficulty.

Hope i helped? lol, I'm pretty big in the summer with diving... Idk why, Its more enjoyable than just swimming, I finally landed a gainer dive this year, took like, 2 years... lmao
