Backflip Technique Guide: Step-by-Step Gymnastics Illustration #3651891 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing illustrates the biomechanical phases of a standing backflip, emphasizing body positioning and momentum transfer. Each stage (a-f) shows critical alignment points: hip extension in the takeoff, spinal arching, hand placement for support (if assisted), mid-air rotation, and controlled landing posture. The dashed line in step (e) indicates the trajectory of the center of mass during flight.

Commonly used in gymnastics textbooks, coaching manuals, and physical education resources to teach foundational acrobatic skills; targets users searching for “how to do a backflip,” “gymnastics progression diagrams,” or “safe flip technique.”
