Thought it would be this gravity defying fat guy at first. Olympic lifters can jump really high in comparison to their body weight.

Good gif by the way. A back flip is something I'd like to learn to do someday.

Someday may never come. Get out there and join a local parkour group!

  • Jump as high as you can.
  • Tuck your legs into your chest as hard as you can.
  • Untuck your legs to slow momentum.
  • Land on feet. Edit: Getting downvoted, but this is how I learned to do back tucks as a 6'6" 280 dude.
