Ever since I was 10 years old I've wished that I could do a backflip. That was around the time that dad bought us a trampoline. Sis could do one on the trampoline because she was taking gymnastics. I, however, did not take gymnastics (much to my dismay as I now realize) and could only do a front flip. As the video shows, I've made a few feeble attempts over the years.
Last week I decided to try again. I used the pool ladder to train, starting at the second to highest step, backwards-diving off of it until I felt comfortable and then finally from the side of the pool. It only took me about 10 minutes to get where I could flip backwards. The rest is history...
