Idk what happened here exactly, but as a gymnast I've psyched myself out and ****** up like that many times

It took me a really long time. I started when I was l was 3 you know, like little toddler classes, nothing amazing and it took me until I was a freshman in high school. I always had a fear of tumbling backwards so I'd go to do it by myself and then have a mental block and do exactly what that girl did in the gif. It was funny as **** once I shook it off

TheBigGummyBear (09/02/2015) [-] She chickened out midway.
When I was learning how to do backflips on the grass I did this all the time, I was just so afraid.
And mats/cushions/pillows don't actually help that much either. I spent weeks tearing apart my living room furniture to make a little foam pit and it doesn't work because when you go back to flat, hard ground, you're back to square one.
The trick I used to get over it was to kneel down nearly crouching, flat on feet, extend one arm behind you and flip over it. Being low to the ground means if you **** up, it'll hurt a lot less and requires less effort. Slowly over time as you gain confidence stand up a little taller each time and use both hands, until eventually you can do it standing upright.

I don't think there was any psyching out going on. It looks like her feet just slipped off. She's on a boat, it's wet, toes are flexible...She made that little hop and her toes hit the slippery edge of the boat and down she went. I'm sure the flip would've been glorious.

dotafourlyfe (09/02/2015) [-] Overweight? Wtf she is only slighty chubby. Do people honestly think this is what an overweight person looks like?

irgendeini (09/02/2015) [-] I'm not into fatshaming as I'm overweight myself, but she's objectively chubbier than I am and I'm already over the normal BMI range. (Not obese, if that is what you meant)
