Hi you all

I have a little problem
I can do kip ups on a matress (clip attached)
but when I do it on the floor, my back start hurting
any idea on how to do it on the floor with out pains?

[Flame Head]

How does it hurt? Is it like a bruised feeling or something internally wrong?

Anyway try on some grass or carpet which I use. I have to go through quite a bit of pain when I try mine but that's how u learn!

I just watched ur video man.
Kick ups are wen you kick urself up to ur feet and get up. Your doing kinda cradles except you aint gettin up.

[SuperDuck]

I saw on "how to breakdance" tape that this moves is called kip ups.
I didn't write it wrong, I didn't mean kick up.

second, about the pain:
I just feel like I'm falling on my back from the air (when coming to think about it - that is actually what happens) but when I see the guy on the tape do it, I see him doing it on the floor, and I don't get why doesn't it hurt him like it hurts me, what should I do?

[SuicideMaster]

it is actually a poor version of the move called the rubber band

ur landing on ur back too much. try landing on ur hands first and then use them in a spring motion to bounce back and forth.
and if ur trying to land on ur feet push harder with ur hands and
lean foward to get up. I learned kik ups from waching jakie chan.
hope it helps

push off more and catch urself?

I learnt mine partially from watchin Jackie Chan as well. He's cool. I also learn some Kung Fu moves from his movies

[GeNeTiX ViRuS]

haha me too, i thot it would be cool to recover like that after i fall down or something, and yeah, i can do no handed kipups now

[SuperDuck]

ok got it all - I'll start working on it, when I'll have time
sorry for not posting before, been busy

[GeNeTiX ViRuS]

once u get kipups, go try rubberbands, they're cool

just keep practicing

[SuicideMaster]

yea what he said what i said earlier

[Bboy-SoLiD]

It's usually easier to do kip ups on a mattress cuz they are softer and are bouncy
On the floor it's [SoLiD] so it's kinda harder

After you kick your legs to help gain momentum to pull yourself up, you have to remember to pull them back inwards to catch yourself so that you will have the balance to stand.

I also learned that you should learn kip-ups on a matress first because its so much easier and less painful. When you finally learn the motions that you should go through and are able to do the kip-up on a matress, start practicing it on the floor. It will probabally take a little time to be able to do it on solid ground because there are no springs helping you.
