First you find out which hand you want to spin on, your left hand or your right hand (usually the stronger hand). Now you are ready to begin.

Right hand: You start in a standing position. Then you cross your left leg over your right leg. Now you want to try doing a cartwheel with putting your left hand down first then your right. When you are doing this you want to kick up with your right leg then your left (this may feel akward at first but if you do this correctly it makes it much easier). Instead of doing a complete cartwheel, you want to stop half way and balance on your right hand. If you crossed your legs correctly you should be ready to start spinning. just push off with your left and bring your legs together. You sould spin in the clock-wise direction and lead with your head. The TRICK to spinning is that you have to spin on the correct part of your hand or else you will not spin at all. You want to spin on the lower part of your palm, there is kind of a hard bone there, and you also want to lift up you fingers so that they do not cause friction. If you have trouble lifting up you fingers it helps to bend your elbow a little bit. It may be hard to do at first but the better your body is balanced over your right hand the longer you will spin.

Left hand: You start in a standing position. Then you cross your right leg over your left leg. Now you want to try doing a cartwheel with putting your right hand down first then your left.

oh man, it makes it so much easier to read if there are instructions for both hands. Good job!

Hey thnx much for that. . that helped

[da DMD]

yeah good one

yo all check out my backflip guide,
i wanna know if i did a good job

[theb]

this one used to b in the moves section

[soviet]

this guide doesn't help me at all... Anubis should write a guide it'd be a ton better.... I have a specific problem on 90's not covered in the guide or addressed at all...

its 200%easier when a REAL person teaches it to u. none the less great guide. PROPS

great guide, but yes, it's a bit short.

[electron]

i found that it helped a lot to think of my legs swinging to the sides ( out ) and not necessarily UP ... i get a lot more spin that way and stay in the air longer too

hm - thinking that the pain in my thumb and wrist is probably coming from practicing 90's on hard tile the other night ... that'd explain it .

yeah it would explain it.

that is the most commen problem peeps have with 90's,no spin and kicking diagonal then up helps that a shit load

I thought the guide was pretty good. Any details that were left out, i sort of thought about and filled in the spaces on my own. Im, not a negative person, so great guide.
