Learning How to Backflip in 72hrs... (bad idea) 

New Seek Discomfort drop is live now 🤘 www.seekdiscomfort.com

Tried a backflip and fell. Sleep Discomfort.

I've always wanted to learn the backflip too but landing on my neck and imagining the worst-case scenario it may result in is scary AF.

Hey anyone here in 2020 Easter waiting for part 2. Still here in 2020 August 17. Now here in October 4th 2020.. OH MY GOD WE HAVE WAITED A YEAR AND NOW WE ARE IN EASTER 2021

I really expected him to do the backflip at the end when he said no spot

“We should give him some encouraging words” *Don’t be scared*

Since no one is saying it *WHERE IS PART 2?*

Instead of going straight for hard ground practice it on grass and don't just do it once and move on practice until it feels natural and it's no longer difficult.

Id like to commend Matt for getting past his own mind and keeping going but I also want to commend Ammar for telling Matt to not sit too long and let his nervous system kick in too much but to get right back up (since he obviously was not very hurt just scared). This is so important even though it doesn't feel like an important thing. I am sitting here actually clapping at my desk watching this. Much love from Canada.

"Let's give him some encouraging words" "Don't be scared" LMAO

The sheer amount of high fives and hugs in this video shows what kind of people they are

Who's still waiting for part 2?

And everyone laughed at creed when he wanted to do a cartwheel...

anyone now coming to terms with this never having a part 2

Not gonna lie, i’ve really wanted to learn how to backflip for a while now.

It's really weird how many people in the comment section "broke" their neck or something similiar when learning a back flip. I've been flipping for a little bit more than a year now, and for everyone who wants to learn it I just want to say this: Don't rush it immediately. First you need to get awareness of your body, in relation to being able to take control of your body in any situation possible, for example: worst case.. mid-air you find yourself realizing your jump wasn't high enough, or not rotated quickly enough. This awareness will help you to know early if you would'nt make the flip entirely, and more importantly will it allow for a readjustion so you don't injure yourself badly (not as much atleast). The other thing is, really get to know the movement. Kind of play it in your head, reviewing each step you need to take at which time and picture it in your head. At the same time, even if it might sound stupid, feel your limbs moving with each step. This will make you more comfortable soon enough and you'll eventually even be less scared because you understand each step. You kind of studied this trick. What I've learned after attempting swing back flips, front flips, even small corks (180° backflips in this case) is that this goes for almost every trick. You should always get these steps done if you want to ease it up for yourself. I've only had a very small injury in the entire 14 months I've trained and that was only for a few days because I messed up these steps on the trick. I understand what issues there are, and yes it might seem more or less demanding (mentally and physically) for some, but in the end it's almost only about these 2 steps I'd say. The only other thing is the physical "fitness" you should maybe have. If you want it you can learn it. But take it step by step, later you'll need less and less time ofworking on body perception and you'll find yourself almost only having to understand the tricks themself. I hope this helped atleast one single person, with even a tiny thing. If not, that's fine too. I just know how it can be in the beginning. Anyways, thanks for reading I guess

Dude the ending got me chills jesus Matt are u okay

Yo, Matt almost gave me a heart attack at the end.

Me: it's been 5 months where is part 2😆

yo that ending, dont play with us like that :(

“No spot” *bravely said* *falls on face*

"And you can't fully express yourself and you can't fully chase who you are" life changing quote!

That was one of the biggest Cliff Hangers I've ever witnessed... Can't wait for the second part...

Yes theory: part 2 coming soon... Also yes theory: LETS PIMP OUT A STRANGERS BACKYARD IS MATT OK?? I need closure

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks they’re the best people on RU-vid and they deserve everything

I'm proud of Matt for trying to overcome this childhood fear. Some of these comments clearly show a lack of understanding about trauma/anxiety/fear, and a lack of empathy towards those that suffer from them. As someone who has severe PTSD, I can understand how paralyzing these fears can be, no matter how small they seem. These fears actually affect your daily life, make you doubt yourself or want to give up before you start. Go Matt! Conquer your fears! I'm cheering you on!

Amaar: I think from now on we're gonna be spotting u Matt: I was being spotted Amaar: ahh, hmm

I think this is the most I have connected to any of the videos. They all inspire me, but I felt like I saw myself in this one. The struggle with something small and brushing it off, but that avoidance giving the fear power. Facing it. Falling. Not wanting to try again. Going for it. Not achieving it the moment it was desired, but taking that time as reflection of growth rather than failure. Then, achieving it and feeling a growth of confidence. It’s so hard sometimes and I feel like the smaller things we fear can sometimes be the bigger ones, because they are the ones that can make us feel weak if we let them. I’m proud of you. Probably will not ever see this, and it may not mean much, but it inspired me... immensely. So I’m happy for you, and I thank you.

As the great Tobias Eaton said in Divergent, nobody is fearless. Everybody is afraid of something, but you have to be able to face it when the time is needed.

9:17 Amar: I think from now on we’ll be spotting you... Matt: He was spotting me Amar: ahhhhh hmmmmmm 🤣🤣

Why did they go straight from the spotted back flip into sand to hard concrete no spot? He should've gone to the grass next, I think. Either way, still very proud of him.

"Don't think about it too much" Matt: 'I'm thinking about it so much.." Big mood

To Yes Theory, Long time fan here! This is really random but I love pretty much everything about your guys' merch! The designs are great, the colors don't fade much, the material seems to last and feels very comfortable to wear (ironic as "seek discomfort" is slapped on all of it haha). But as a tall person, anything with long sleeves (jackets, sweaters, joggers, etc.) tend to be too short for me, usually the torso length and the sleeve length fall short a couple of inches. Anyways, just wanted to say you guys could probably expand your market by allowing a tall option for merch and adding a couple inches to the length / sleeves. For me, I know It's definitely hard to find quality clothes like yours that fit too. Thanks for all you guys do! Slap a like to help a tall guy find clothes that fit 😂

will we ever learn if he made the flip

Fookin cliffhanger on an yes theory video, didn't see that one coming

Valentines Day? Matt: "Nah Imma try a backflip. BYE"

Don't learn a back flip on concrete?? Have a solid back tuck on grass before you attempt concrete!!

Dude such a cliff hanger.. you can’t do this to me..

Doctor: what brings you here today? Me: *Haha just fix my neck please*

Kid: Don't think of all the injuries you saw to day that's not gonna happen to you Mat: Thanks Man Kid: *Hopefully* 😶

10:34 Matt is scared give him some encouraging words Kid- Dont be scared.

My life revolves around skiing (my job, where I’m going to college, my friends, trips, etc), so I was terrified of doing a backflip in fear of paralyzing myself. I watched this video this morning, and it gave me the inspiration to learn. Tonight, I landed my first backflip, and will attempt to land a backflip while skiing in Montana next weekend. Thank you so much for being so inspiring

1 year later still no part 2. I want to know what happened! you cant leave it like that

TD at the end killed me 😂😂 Great cliff hanger , Matt you’re a champ

The fact he preached so much about it and there’s never gonna be a part 2

5:04 „Don‘t think about it too much.“ „I‘m thinking about it so much.“ pretty much sums up my life

"Anyways, new seek discomfort line is out right now"

"Don't be scared" Oh, you sweet summer child.

Ahhh you can’t leave it like that!! The cliffhanger!! Is he OK?! Did he go on the trip?

So... We're just not talking about the ending? ok

This video really just proves that everything we think we can’t do is all mental and a battle that we are fighting within ourselves.

Hope Matt was alright after that.. 😢 You don't have to push yourself too much. The fact that he did it on the trampoline and on the ground, is already amazing. Please stay safe.

When Matt started crying... that broke me

Okay I found you guys like 5 days ago and I watched nearly every video on this channel by now😅 And I really fell in love with the wohle team and the concept of this channel. I really love what you are doing and your message is awesome! I'm very introverted and shy and totally scared of everything... but you made me think a little different again.. I try to leave my comfort zone in the next years and I will try to overcome some fears. Thank you so much for inspiring me, and a lot of other people too! I really love you!!

So...2 years latter boys, still waiting for part 2.

Tried a backflip and broke my spine. Life Discomfort.

I'm actually now encouraged to learn to backflip myself even though the desc tells me not to

Everyone : 14 February is valentines day Matt : what a great day to learn how to backflip

In high school I was a JV cheerleader. My jumps were beautiful, I nailed the chants, cheers and dances ... literally the Only thing that kept me from out for Varsity was a paralyzing fear of landing on my head or neck while tumbling. I let that fear keep me from doing so many things. I’m 29 now and I still have the “what if’s”... I feel this video on a super super deep level. I am sitting here now righting down all my fears... ones that have held me back in life... some are small and “silly” like doing a backhand spring. Others are deep like failing at being a mother. Tomorrow I’m going to my sisters house to do a backflip. Step one. Thanks guys

I really want "Seek Discomfort" tattooed somewhere on my body to help me everyday

Oh my god. I can't watch what happened to Matt. I literally cried. 😢 I hope you're okay Matt!!! ❤

The only thing I'll ever be able to teach is how to binge watch.

when I see the tittle I’m like ‘seems interesting’ (not really the sort of video I would click on straight away personally) but when i watch the video I feel inspired, proud and grateful. Thank you for being in our lives.

This makes me want to cry, because even tho is such a simple fear, I understand totally!

3:57 Me: That was quick, seeya next week

Oh wait.. no part 2 yet? Would love to see the smile and excitement of the Matt and everyone when he does it. :) You can do it bro :)

Same thing happened to me, however the accident happened at school and I hurt my head and neck so bad I thought I would die. Since then I can't even attempt a front flip let alone think of doing what you are doing. Amazing video and content as always ❤️👏

I remember learning this myself when I was like 13 years old. Thing I figured out myself and helped me a lot was looking forward when I was about to land. If you're in the air and looking down your feet where you want to land, your body is not yet done with the turning. While if you're in the air and you want to look forward (forward as in if you're still standing look straight forward, take a point you want to focus on). If you're in the air and trying to look in front of you, your turn will finish and your body will be straight. Probably worst explenation ever. Just dont look at the ground when you want to land, but try to face forward. Anyhow, great video

Hey yes theory crew so glad to see matt attempting to overcome a small fear like that. personally ive struggled with the same exact fear since I've had some bad spills as a kid. I've gotten better but still have yet to land a standing back also. For him to keep trying after those to hits is just inspiring since i would have called it a day there. Something that is really enjoyable and not dangerous at all is using lines on either side of you connected to a harness thay allows you to spin freely in mid air. Yes some people might say they are kid parks to help them learn standing backs without being able to hurt themselves but ive personally seen people from all age groups on these even old and it brings me joy and inspiration rather than just astonishment and slight jealousy to watch them overcome that fear or achieve that dream through repition in a controlled environment. Love you guys hope everything is going well and yall are staying safe, Love and peace. Is there a part 2 out yet cause I did go looking for it?

Bruh that ending made me feel emotions, man.

matt crying or in any sort of pain makes me cry, I’m so proud of him

6:34 Lexie is awesome for being cool with Thomas filming Matt attempting backflips on Valentine’s Day haha

"Nine year old teaches me how to backflip in 72 hours" Also nine year : in the background of the video

When is part 2

Im so in love with Matt wow WHAT A MAN😭😍

12:43 He rushed that one, don’t rush, take your time & breath!!

The power our childhoods hold over us is unimaginable

When he said no spot I was like oh no he's getting cocky and that ever works but hey I cant freaking do a backflip on land I'm to fat 😜 But in to water I can cant wait for part 2

I've never had any serious injuries but I've fallen of my bike more times in my life than I can count. Last year I got hit by a car riding my motorcycle, someone pulled out in front of me in a roundabout and sent me flying over the car. A few days later my dad was driving me somewhere and we went Into a roundabout and I burst into tears. My biggest tip to anyone experiencing these kinds of fears is the longer you wait the harder it gets. The day I got my bike back from the repair shop I went straight to that roundabout and rode through it. It was terrifying but i knew I had to deal with it as soon as possible. I still get a little panicked when someone cuts me off in the same way but it gets easier every time.

Good for you dude for even trying this, i have a very similar story after going on trampoline trying flips at age 10 i had to undergo an operation and havent tried since but im now in my 30s and still have flips as one of my life goals to achieve.... this has made me feel positive about it.

we need part two xd Matt needs to beat his fear thats all this chanel is about

When he started crying I felt that hard though I cried with him because life does hit hard like that and all you can do is keep going because that’s the best thing you can do in hardships

I needed to be there so i could slap Matt for some motivation. Im glad you showed us the failing parts. That's how everything in live goes. We fall, we stand up and try it again. The most important thing is to fail. Because then we start learning how to do it better the next time

When you’re parkour & freerunning athlete and watching this and saw pasha on yes theory and you be like “Oh that my boss, my OG Russian free runner”

February 26, 2021 and still no part 2

Watching this reminds me that I have no skill

I appreciate all the genuine emotion shown here, in my opinion this is much more powerful that the end goal of doing a backflip. I think it's even better to see all the mistakes as I can connect with that. I get validation from seeing you guys make mistakes, struggle, and progress. I actually also have this same fear with on ground backflips and any kind of front flip and this inspires me to make it a goal to do this later! It also inspires me to put myself out there and try out some more socially challenging things and post them on youtube like you guys do! I love your message, I love your commitment and thank you so much for all these gifts of inspiration, empowerment and compassion, it means alot!

No way they are gonna make me wait a whole week for part 2

Matt is really brave he’s reallly gonna go after every fear I’m scared of everything I love his mentality I wish I was like him ♥️♥️♥️

"DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" me: good for me cause I'm at a friend's house

The amount of people that broke their neck after watching this video...

Yes Theory: let 5 yr old girl controll their date Also Yes Theory: let 9 yr old boy teach them Backflip!!

We need part 2

PART 2 I AM BEGGING I WANT MATT TO SUCCEED SO BAD

Part 2 coming 2021?

I feel happy when I get a notification from RU-vid that Yes Theory posted a video

Thank you for being so authentic 🙏

OMG as soon as the video was ending and you were announcing the drop, the text meesage notification also popped-up. Amazing

Thanks for making this video. I landed on my neck really bad when I was trying to learn a front flip and it scared the crap out of me and I'm like Im never trying this again im done. I relate to this guy in this video so much with trying new tricks and hitting bigger jumps on my bike. This video really inspires me to not give into my fear.

Bro... not funny. My heart is beating faster than Matt's rn. He's okay, right? RIGHT?! .... Matt, please be okay... I loved the video! Editing is great as always, and shout out to the amazing back flippers and helpers to Matt! You guys are awesome and so kind for helping him!!! Matt, you can DO THIS!!
