5 Year Old Learning HOW TO DO A BACKFLIP 

She's used to it with all that training from mom and dad from snowboarding!

I was learning this at 5 (private gym class). Whenever possible, my father appeared - he was quiet and didn't intervene /the instructor. It was in Detroit Turners.

I pay attention to my teacher sometimes at gymnastics

It was payton

@@adriennechow596 think she means the girl in the black?

It's payton

wow. Peyton is a great little coach. and strong. her spotting skills were excellent.

Great idea!!

being knees deep in the water however, makes it way harder to jump. But if you arent even knees deep, the water wont help you anyways

That’s how I learned my backbend. I tried it with my back handspring but that didn’t work because for that the water made it really hard to jump when I got shallower but great tip!

@@YungIsyan Yep, you need to be in the water in order to use it. It actually forces you to jump harder. So by the time you try it on land It's so much easier. Kinda feels like you're defying gravity:)

Yes this helps a lot

Me to

It’s more so good job to the twelve yr old

It’s more so good job to HER!

@@juliamay2156good job for everyone

She really knows how to learn. Such a great life skill.

Lol she super sized on the water bottle 🤣🤣

Very much so!

Thank you! I try

Mom & Dad, born Coaches, they are sooooo Encouraging, they make You feel You Can Do It before You even try!!!👋🙂

I have anxiety and I'm the total opposite! Gymnastics is my outlet and I often think the worst but I do it anyway and it makes me feel so good about myself! I'm now working on a double twist! So I'm pretty good but not like Olympic level, but either way I love it.

Agreed 🙌🏻

Next year, she will be doing Back Flip's with the Snowboard.

This is a zero progression situation. Doubt this child can do a cartwheel or handstand roll.

@@christinaann7118 it sounds like you understand gymnastics and the basic skill set of a beginner. That’s cool! I understand that she may have skipped the textbook checklist of skills, but she had a goal and she safely reached it; won’t this bring enthusiasm for her sport? My question is. did she get stronger, or more confident? Maybe she learned how to follow instructions or trust her spotter? By progression, I meant the process of steps; how they broke it down into achievable steps. Maybe progress of set skills is different, but I bet if she sticks with it, she will learn the skills you mention too. 😊

Wtg!!!👍👋🙂👏

She probably is a little scared! But courage doesn’t mean you don’t feel fear, courage means you can get through the fear! She is a beast!

Good jod Lucy 😀

both of them are cute... REALLY cute. Would you like to cuddle with them? Wouldnt that be so sweet?

Me at twelve doing lousy cartwheels!!👋🙂
