ok, how do u get more spins on ur backspin?
do u reduce the amount of space on ur back that contacts the floor?

how do u reduce that space? is there something u can do besides tuck ur head between ur knees?

everybody sez to spin on ur upper back. approx what part?

around shoulders but you can only spin there with momentum. while on back, grab around knees and keep legs straight up i think. keep head close to knees too.

THIS REALLY HELPS: Stay on ONE shoulder blade. This reduces friction way toom much. I usually stop spinning because I get thrown off balance from all the speed instead of running out of it.

alright so how do i even do a backspin in the first place because i know its sumthin you should know how to do
and naturally im really just starting

[bboy T[r]ix]

my backspin is working very well, can do alot of spins and with a nice speed. The thing for me to get alot of momentum is to use your hand (the one that is staying on the floor just before your leg takes of) to push on the floor. kinda like doing a handspin, use your hand to gain more speed.
It works fine for me.

There are a couple ways to start a back spin, one is from on your back already and kicking sideways with your right leg. The other is from millz or the hand spin position. Stay on upper back, kick like hell, and practice.

Actually, having mills down HELPED my backspin, even if I do my backspins from the back as opposed to my mills from the handglide.

Woah! You could mill before you could backspin?

[Masochist]

Errr... I had like 3 before mills and 10 at best after. I'm not the best at backspins, but I can do enough to get my point across.

I agree
try doin a few windmills, and then get down on ur backspin
u can get more rotations
