This is the second video in IBA’s Dynamic Progression ‘how-to’ series, The Back to Belly Back Flip transition.
This is a more advanced maneuver that requires a comfort level that is higher than the front flip from your belly to your back (see previous video, *[Back to belly front flip](http://www.skydivemag.com/video/back-to-belly-front-flip)*). This skill, although not a high rotation maneuver, will be a key ingredient for “trick” flying and is an important step in the dynamic progression.
#Learning Points
+ You should aim to fly this transition with as much control as possible.
+ Try to imagine an arc of momentum to give you the time necessary to fly through the transition.
+ Begin and end the technique on the same level.
+ Try to avoid the natural tendency of arching your chest.
+ Use the action of lifting your hips to create the lift, and straighten your legs to create the rotation.
+ As you become more comfortable you can experiment with the shape of the layout.
