It's 2022, time to come back to this Mike. edit: from 2019 to 2020 edit2: from 2020 to 2021 edit3: from 2021 to 2022 edit4: from 2022 to 2023

It’s 2020, time to come back to this Mike.

3 years later, will he finally try again??? Find out next time on the next episode of "Learning everything" Season 2020

hi! i’m a gymnast so here’s some advice: - A back tuck is easier to do but harder to learn than a front tuck. What people do is get scared of going backwards because u can’t see where you are going rather than a front tuck. - Just go for it - when you jump, swing arms back and grab your knees as fast as you can to get rotate faster - Gravity is your best friend, it rotates you. all you need to really do is jump high and grab your knees -lean back a bit - stuff up your legs when you land to stick the landing! Good luck! waiting for a part 2! it’s almost 2020

still waiting for part 2 of the backflip series mate.... when are you gonna do it? Ill do it if you do it ;)

MIKE, ITS BEEN 2 YEARS, YOU NEED TO GET BACK INTO BACKFLIPPING

Its been 3 years... i think its time mike... we all believe in you. You need to overcome your fear

I can see that he has been able to overcome the fear of getting over his head, and it's simply up to technique and learning to tuck and rotate faster. I learned a backflip on flat ground, but it took me about 2 years of struggling at the stage he got to, because I simply did not have enough vertical, as well as didn't know how to tuck hard enough after leaving the ground. It motivated me to lose weight to increase my vertical, but when I had the vertical, I worked my way from backflip downhill until I could land flat, and it took only about a week or two. The one fear holding you back, is you lose vertical because u jump backwards onto the mattress

Mike, You should come back to this. Finish what you started and overcome fear.

Imagine learning how to do a backflip on a trampoline in 14 minutes...hes actually superhuman. Or im just terrible at them

*Come on Mike it's 2022! You can do this!*

Massive respect for trying this mate! I did trampoline lessons for a few years. I don't think your form was right on the flip. If you got a trampoline lesson I think it would change a lot. Right now your springing backwards instead of jumping up and tucking. Your Dad had the right idea with holding you! Wrapping a ju-jit-su belt around you and having him hold it can help a lot.

Hey man! I actually love your channel! Keep it up! I myself am an international level gymnast, and have a few tips for you! I managed to teach one of my housemates to do this in only 20 minutes!! Firstly! Go to a gymnastics club! Not a trampoline park. You will have so much more facilities and progression steps for learning! Step 1. You mentioned, you need to learn to jump off of the hard ground. So what I would first perfect, is your standing jump. Step 2. Jump backwards onto a high box. Start at say hip height, and build this up. Until it is at almost shoulder height. Note. You need to jump backwards into a seating position, not to your feet. In order to do this you need to jump up high, and not backwards. Step 3. Now move onto the pits. As you have done in the video. But start by being supported. Not alone Step 4. Go onto a mat. The pit should be lower than the floor. And so when you add a mat, the floor is still lower and you have some extra height. Step 5. Add more matts until it is level with the floor. Step 6. Perform on the gymnastics floor. The gymnastics floor is softer and bouncier than your grass. It will just add a lot more safety, and make the skill easier for you. Step 7. Move onto a harder, but still soft surface. Step 8. Perform the backflip on real ground!! Note! This isn't going to be easy! And may take quite a long time! As your video shows! It's a 2 parter! Tips for the backflip! - jump up, not backwards - start with your arms above your head, swing them down, and then back up for the backflip - keep your head in a neutral position. This means don't throw your head backwards. Throwing your head backwards, causes your flip to be low and long. Which is what you don't want. I hope you take the chance to read all of this!! And good luck!!! Keep up the awesome channel!!!

Its 2020. Time for a part 2. We believe in you!

In my opinion I would say backflips are 10x easier then front flips but backflips are way scarier.

Its been nearly a year! Get going Mike!

Probably a bit late but rather than jumping so horizontally, jump higher vertically

*The only thing Mike hasn’t completed*

Teaching myself to backflip when I was 15 was one of the best decisions I ever made. The experience taught me more about how to handle fear and not give up easily than anything else I've ever done.

I dont think the fear was your biggest problem. You didnt learn it properly in the first place. Jumping up is the main key in doing a backflip and you did it good on the trampoline but from the edge and board you just jumped way too far back. I learned a backflip on sand on the beachvolleyball court. Maybe give it a try ,because doing a backflip from the ground on 50cm high matresses is not the best starting point...But carry on, because learning a backflip for me was one of the best feelings. Its not hard, but overcoming the fears and landing it for the first time is just so good!

Mike, I just watched your rankings from back in December 2021 which led me to this video. I've never done a backflip but you have made me want to learn how to and you know what, let's try again bro! I'll learn with you and we'll do it together. I'm subscribing today and hope that this message gets seen. Keep up the cool skills man and I will keep watching forever. As soon as you hit me up, that's when I'll start to learn. Much love!

You are such a genuine guy man such a real person very human it's refreshing to see in this world these days

jump up instead of backwards. the height is the key.

Guys, what tips do you have? Either to over come fear or simply just technique. Interested to hear what you think.

Almost 2022 now, keen to see you give this another shot!

When doing floor acrobatics ten years younger, this was actually one of the easier moves to learn (and one that I did actually manage to learn, although hopelessly lost that skill by now). Jump as high up as you can, swing your arms up and back, make a quick and tight roll (grab your ankles), and you'll go around very easily. You'll have time to straighten your legs on landing, too. Having an assistant will help you with the technique and fear, and once you have the technique down, the fear also goes away. Or if you have access to two assistants, you can use a strong belt with ropes on both sides (they make them specifically to train different types of jumps).

Hey Mike, the way I learned to back flip on the floor was at a gymnastics center where they have trampolines, but also soft and hard floors that are slightly sprung, so you get more lift in the jumps, that stage is where I made the most progress. Progressing straight from trampoline to hard floor seems like a big leap in my opinion. Good luck with mastering the art!

Quarantine is such a great time to come back to this Mike!! Give the people motivation!

my favourite up skill so far. such humility such honesty. not every success is a complete success and knowing how and when to say no, or knowing when enough is enough is a great life skill to have shared. well done mate 🤙 i wouldn't like getting thrown around like a catherine wheel onto some stinkin' old mattress 😊 even with a heart as big as yours.

You can do it

It’s 2019 and there’s still no part 2. I hope you can do it mike. I remember when you came into my primary school in Dundee when you had about 20k subs and now look at you, 1 million subs down the road. Well done mike.

It's almost 2020!! I've learned how to backflip and I've been doing tricks since I was a kid and you're absolutely right! Flips and tricks are mostly mental as long as you know the proper technique, all it takes is to get rid of the mental block... AND PRACTICE. Time to come back to this Mike! Like for awareness

It’s now 2020. COME BACK TO THIS PLEASE!!!

"And rather of call this a failure, I'm gonna simply call this part one of two" Badass quote Aply to everything you want to accomplish

Still pretty impressive how close you were able to get in so little time.

It's been 4 year mate, give it another go! Love your videos.

It's 2022, time to come back to this mike.

I'm almost glad to know that you as a person very open to trying new things can get stuck too. I'm not glad that failed but that you are able to tell yourself you can continue after failing.

he didn't say "day 1, hour 0" :(

Mike Boyd is just super duper TALENTED!! Proud fan here! 🥳

Im impressed with how little fear he actually had, ive seen people who have progressed more then enough to land it flat and sometimes even already land it before and still be scared to throw it

Nice of Bill Clinton to help you out with your backflips

You sure do take lots of time on vids, most work I've seen in a vid, this is why I like your videos

You should be proud of this one Mike!!! you are actually pretty good.

I learned how to backflip in 2 hours on a wrestling mat. The good ones (like my school had) barely feel like you landed on them. They absorb shock so well.

that's a hard one mate, really really hard

Almost two years after, and still nothing... Did you gave up?

As someone who has done a lot of difficult tricks, confidence and technique are both needed. The better your technique the better your confidence. I learned on a trampoline and then onto soft grass.

No shame in stopping dude. Take care of yourself

"dodge duck dip dive and dodge" What a legend.

you should try again please...like if you agree.overcome your fear

Get it! Make 2020 great. Flips class mate. You got this. Its just fear, you will land on your knees at worst

Mike Mike Mike This is an alarm Wake up already , it's 2019 !!!!!!!!!! We want to see some flippin

I'm cheering you on from the US!!! You can do IT!

When I was learning, I kneed my self I the face multiple times.

Mike! Massive fan....excited for part 2 ;) Keep up the phenomenal content

Come on Mike! It’s been way over a year now!! You need to finish this! I believe in you 😁

Bro part 2 I'm eagerly waiting for it, You can do it, you've learned most the skills so easily, I believe in you...

It's 2023, it's time for backflip part 2, we already have you 6 years

*talks about how he rushed himself* Next video: learn to backflip in 5 minutes

don't give up man, you got this!

Give it another shot mike! It's time!!

Time to reattempt man I learned it a day ago and it reminded me of you.

Honestly if you just tucked harder (i.e bring your knees all the way into your chest) you'd have it down.

It sounds like your wife gets genuinely excited for the stuff you do, and that’s really great

It's 2022, time to come back to this Mike.

Time for part 2 of the backflip

Your technique for the flip is good but you jump way too much to the back you should’ve tried to put that power into going upward

Mannn!! You got to complete this.. it aint that bad Mike.. just do it!!

Everyone shares their victories, it takes balls to share defeats... Kudos man. Hope you get it right soon!

When I learned how to backflip what helped me get over the fear was to look at the ground in front before I flipped instead of looking straight forwards

YES MIKE. YOU WILL DO IT. IN THE MEAN TIME TEACH ME PLZ THNX 😋x

As someone who does tricking/flipping for fun this was honestly really neat to watch. Reminds me of when I first got into movement sports haha

Yet to this day, he still hasn't made a part 2.

when the music stops at 2:55 you know something's up lol

My goodness this looks like a lot of fun! Hmm I wonder if such tramoline parks exist in Belgium...

I'm new to this channel and I've binge 70% of your videos in the last 48 hours. I really enjoy these videos because it is mostly you overcoming feats you didn't think you could achieve. I don't feel like I could learn a new skill. I probably could but work and life and my own confidence gets in the way. BUT after watching this channel I feel like small victories every day can make myself better. Thanks Mike. Year 29 253, 255,023 hours

It's been more than 3 years. Come on Mike. Keep up the great work.

4:02 Look at the cat XD

"I tried to learn the backflip. I'll come back to it." BRING IT BACK!

hey, Mike, it's 2020. time to try it again. les go!!

I saw a guy successfully learning to do a double backflip some time ago. Come on, Mike. You're the guy who proves everybody that anybody can do anything. I hope you will release a part 2 soon.

mike tips to land backflip tip1 should always practise jumping high tip2 practise roll backs tip3 in mid air try to tuck and pop tip4 always know were to land tip5 do it first on the matress if you feel comturble try to solid grass tip6 try to backflip with partner holding your back tip7 try to backflip alone in matress tip8 once you fell comturble alone backflip in matress try on grass tip9 if you landed it on grass try solid floor with partner then try alone tip10 one you feel comturbel in all this tips you should landed it by yourself that’s it

when you jumped in the foam pit you jumped backwards, try to jump straight up in the air and and make ''a ball'' just when you hit the dead point and are about to drop down again. this way you make more height and give yourself more hang time/more time to turn. and if you make the ball strong and use your arms and knees correctly i BET you will get it. i learned the backflip AFTER i learned the wall flip, but as many others here say, a friend of mine also learned it in sand. keep up the cool videos, i'm always looking forward to these. my favorite channel on youtube :)

It’s 2020 Mike, you should tackle this once and for all!

It's 2020,time to comeback to this mike

Lol, Iove those cats. The small one goes and the big one comes!

*Its 2020 Mate, I finished a whole building of popcorn waiting for the next part!*

Mike, it's 2022, out of lockdown, let's see you conquer this!

I may be a little upset that you didn't accomplish the backflip (yet!) but this video has a great message and it's quite motivating.

totally appreciate this upload.
