After watching the most extreme wall flips video yet, we spotted some of the Funtastics Artistic girls off the wall — they LOVE doing them.
The most important teaching point is to run up a “cheese” mat when learning. In fact, at Taiso Gymnastics, we started with 3 cheese mats (providing about a 60 degree angle slope) … then reduced it to 2 cheese mats … and finally one mat.
Very few gymnasts get good enough to do back flip off a wall without a mat.
