AXIS Flight School Instructor Niklas Daniel demonstrates the four stages of a backflip from head-up…
Sit to Sit Backflip
Starting in head-up neutral, find horizon…
- Raise arms and pull legs in
- Fly on back, then kick legs towards the horizon
- Once vertical, look back to find original heading
- Anticipate stopping with chest proud
Tip: Avoid throwing your head back at the start, look at the horizon in front.
