Help with flips

ParkourChick:
Ok, my and friend are tying to learn how to do flips.  we have no idea how to even practice (we cant go to a gym to use pads cuz our school hates us and we cant find a gym) any ideas?
please and thankyou
 ;D

Josh Klute:
Got any mattresses?  They work as makeshift pads, or you could make a huge pile of pillows, just try flipping on something soft ;).  I don't know a whole lot about flipping, so someone else can help you out with that (in fact I think there is a topic pretty close to this somewhere in the movement forum).  Just make sure you have something soft to land on ;).

ParkourChick:
i think i know which one you're talking about, but that was not really on HOW you flip, it think it was more on landing the flip after a vault.  haha im gonna practice tomarrow and hope i dont break my neck  ;)

Mike "Pyro" Araujo:
I can give you some advice but not a whole lot. take a bit of a run up. not to far and don't go to fast. Before you take off take a long(not high) step. then when you land take all your foward momentum and use it to up. while jumping shoot your arms up towards the sky. then when in the air tuck and bring your arms down to your shins.

Ryan Ford:
id suggest you dont even try any flips for a few months. take the time to learn at least the basic movements. once you get those down, the body control you will have learned will make things easier.
