Woman Tries To Do Backflip, Fails Hilariously

Practice, practice, practice. That is the key towards success. Whatever you want to achieve, you must practice constantly in order to successfully overcome it.Show more

This goes for everything in life – meeting new people; playing an instrument; sports….the list goes on. One might get tired of practicing and just wants to get it over with, so they try to p3erform, see where they are at. If it works, they say they have overcome it; if not, one might get disappointed and abort all future attempts at said activity.

There’s a saying that “The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried”, meaning that if you want to truly master something, you have to accept the fact that you will fail many times on the road to success.

This is something that the girl in the video knows probably best at heart. We see her at a crossfit gym, standing on top of a jump box. She wants to attempt a jump and back flip. She runs from the back end to gain momentum and makes the jump. She tucks her knees in, as she should if she wants to nail that backflip. But it seems that she miscalculated the distance she needed and instead of landing gracefully on the mat below, her toes catch the edge of the box, making her lose momentum and slap the ground, face first. Ouch!
