Learning how to do a Wallflip (technique and fear)
Wallflip is a pretty easy move once you've learned it, period.
The hardest thing about the wallflip is not the technique but rather the fear of doing it, so that's what im gonna walk through firstly:
*Learn to do a backhandspring on the ground. it doesnt matter if it's a bit sideways or something like that but just learn to do it comfortably. When you've learned that then backflip, wallflip and gainer should be a giant leap closer to your trick arsenal.
*Try doing a backhandspring with 1 leg a bit in front of the other.
*Then the crucial part (this is pretty scary), You need to place 1 leg on the wall and go into a backhandspring like that. (this step really helped me with the fear problem)
*Now take a run and do the above step in sequence.
*You are pretty much all the way around now, so all you gotta do is Tuck!
Now for the technique:
This is the technique for a 1 step wallflip (more steps is pretty similar).
*Start by running towards the wall
*jump a little and place your foot at a comfortable height (while doing this your arms should be behind you, ready to pull you over in the next step).
If you place your foot too high you wont get any grip or rotation (which will suck), so try to place it somewhere in the middle.
*Pull your arms from behind up and back, while also pushing away from the wall with your planted leg and swinging the free leg up and back.
*Tuck, spot the ground and land
here's some pictures of my wallflip (I do something different with my arms, you dont have to).

Well, when you get better (which I hope you do ^^) then you can try following my steps..
Not only because it would be awesome if you learned the trick but also because I wanna know if my walkthrough and backhandspring anti-fear thing works for other people
