Perhaps. I may have misinterpreted your initial reply wrong. If so I apologize. Here ya go, then.

As a beginner, she had the idea right but didn't use her arms to create momentum after her dismount and then extend. After than she didn't use her stomach muscles to snap back from that extension to bring her legs around underneath her. She just kinda threw her head back and expected gravity to do it's thing. And it did. Gravity will always bring you down. Like I said, first half attempt was made. No second half . Half an attempt

I would posit you're the one being the dick here. Making fun of post this woman trying something and failing and of me trying to drag something useful out of you.

So far you still haven't shown to know anything more than me.

Speaking from someone who has attempted a very similar looking maneuver in the past (because backflips are a pretty terrifying concept to me), I think you have to tuck your legs once spinning. At least that's what I've observed others doing and it seems to work for them. But opening up/flattening out mid-spin kills most of the inertia you had/would have had.

I am completely confident I know what I am talking about. You seem to be making a a halfway attempt at asking a question. You gave up halfway through and tried to change the course of dialogue. You bailed out 'halfway' . Of you'd like to know why I commented the way I did, ask that without being a dick.
