“Learn how to spot a backflip with this short video!”
I’ve been seeing so many backflip tutorials popping up on my feed lately, but here’s something people seem to forget. Who’s going to catch you when things go wrong? 😳
A backflip is no joke! One bad landing can cause a life changing injury, paralysis or even worse.
Let me ask you something. Would you let a guy who dropped out of dental school in his first semester fix your teeth? 🦷😂
NO WAY! So why would you trust someone with no proper training to spot you while you’re flipping backwards through the air?
There’s a reason professional coaches spend years learning technique, progressions and how to keep their students safe.
Knowing how to backflip doesn’t automatically mean you know how to spot one!
And if you’re thinking, “Don’t worry, bro, my mate is stronger than me!” 😂
Mate, your friend might be able to bench press 150 kg, but that doesn’t mean he knows how to catch a flying human!
So before you volunteer to be someone’s spotter, watch this video and understand what’s involved. But remember, watching a short tutorial doesn’t qualify you to spot a backflip. Learn and practise under a qualified coach.
Train smart, look after your mates and remember, you’ve only got ONE neck!
