How to do a backwards roll!! ;)

Hey!

I'm sorry for all of you that are not beginners, but I am just explaining the basics before I get to the harder stuff!! ;)


Steps: 
(read all steps together, then attempt step-by-step)

1. Stand with your arms up.
2. Put your hands flat (palms towards the sky) on your shoulders.
3. Go into a sitting position while rolling backwards.
4. In the same motion thrust your legs over your body.
5. Also, push with your arms.
6. Land with your feet under you in a squating position.
7. Work your way up to doing a backwards roll and ending with a stand. 

Tips:

• Make sure you thrust real hard with your legs when pushing them over.
• Do not go floppy.
• Tuck your head in (better explanation: put your chin on your chest).
