How to do a backflip in bodyboarding

The backflip is one of the most advanced maneuvers in bodyboarding. The trick is hard to pull, but there's nothing a lot of training and failed attempts won't solve.

Backflips are a quite popular trick in sports. You will find them in BMX, skateboarding, gymnastics, motorcycling, snowboarding, windsurfing, and even surfing. A backflip is a backward rolling motion, in which your body completes a 360-degree curve backward.

You can't say it is a natural human movement. Our bodies are not designed for long-term upside down experiences, so our brains usually play tricks on us. "Don't do that. You'll hurt yourself," they often silently shout.
