Okay! I'll try backflips as soon as my tailbone is recuperated. Thanks for all your help, everyone!

No problem! Yeah, bruised tailbones are no fun man. Post some vids when you get your flips down!

Okay, I'm all healed, I feel ready, but... I just can't seem to get over this fear now after what happened. How can I get over this?

The only thing you can do to overcome your fear of doing something is to do it.

i know from bad experience that if you want to flip you just need 2 do it and not think about it. i had friends throe me into a backflip. everytime i woryed about it of thought about it i landed straight on my head and neck 3 out of 5 times but the other 2 i didnt think about it at all and did it almost perfect

i personaly think the first flip you should do should be a frontflip, it may seem harder because you are blind of the ground through the middle of the flip till the end, but it is easy to feel when you are rightside up again. so its kinda hard to overflip it. but before you learn frontflip i would recomend learning front handsprang. it helped me, got me in the frontward spinning motion. hah. but yeah, thats my opinion.

Front flips are where most people start.
If you land on your back, keep going. If you do it again, it wont hurt as much!
