I prefer backflipping into the deep end of a pool for a 'safer' landing

to do a good backflip you must finish on the site you've started. jump to maximum and then with take your legs with your hands. First try to train your jumps on place (use your arms to gain inertia) and feel the moment when you loose velocity and start falling. To do a backflip you need to convert the jump inertia to turn (this is the reason to take your legs). Sorry i dont have a good level of english and i cant explain very well this complex things...
