The Wall Flip, or Wall Flip, is one of the most beautiful and widespread elements of parkour. Wall Flip is a somersault performed after one or more steps up the wall.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several varieties of this element: back, forward, Arab somersault (sideways from one leg with rotation), side flip from two legs, back or forward with a 180 degree turn after pushing from the wall, Wall Gainer, Trinity Flip (or Arab somersault after two - three steps), Palm Flip (push with hands), Rayden (push from the back), Corner Wall Flip (somersault from the corner of the wall) In order to learn how to perform a regular somersault from the wall back, it is better to first learn how to do a back flip on a flat surface or from a small elevation in order to be able to overcome the fear of turning back over the head. Also, to complete this element, you must be able to confidently take one or two steps up the wall.
Step 2
To perform the Wall Flip element, you need to gain a decent speed. After running away, you step onto the wall with the foot that is more comfortable for you. In performing this element, it is important to take the first step on the wall as high as possible. The higher you jump on the wall, the more time you will have to carry out the coup. Having made an emphasis with the first leg, it is necessary to "lie" in the air, taking a position perpendicular to the wall, and immediately put the second leg on it, but at a short distance from the first.
Step 3
Next, it is important to make a powerful swing with your hands and tilt your head back - this is necessary in order to give energy to the movement for a good spin. In addition, if you do not tilt your head back, you can fall on it and injure your neck. Landing should be carried out on legs bent at the knees so as not to get injured.
Step 4
The main mistakes made when performing a somersault from the wall backward are a bad take-off run, a short jump on the wall, a bad deflection of the body back, no deflection of the head back, a weak swing of the arms.
Step 5
When performing any acrobatic elements, remember that you can get serious injury. Therefore, be careful and learn to perform tricks in specially equipped gyms under the close supervision of a trainer. If you are going to perform some elements of parkour on the street, ask your friends to back you up.
