I tried a couple of times, but usually they just end up in disaster. One time I though I broke my kneecap. But I didn't. Whew! Most of the time I can't make it all the way around. When I do, I can't keep my balance. If I stand on something, usually I have better luck.
Do any experienced backflippers have any advice for a novice such as myself? Any help appreciated.

When I was a teenager, I could ride my bicycle around on just the back wheel, which I thought was cool. Backflips, however, always got the better of me too. I could do them on a trampoline, but I guess that's not quite the same as straight off the ground. I'm no gymnast, and I have resigned myself to the fact that backflips will never be part of my repertoire.
