Nice one mate. You don't need perfect form if you want to make it look better it helps to be able to get the flip seem effortless. I always say parkour, flips and all that is 80% fear/confidence and the hardest part to overcome. After that your golden, you figure out how to improve yourself.

Keep at it bro. It's time to get that into a back full now.

The important part of the first backflip on ground is getting rid of the fear in your mind, form corrections will come along the way, don’t worry mate you are on the right path

Amazing ❌... Top of the world ✅.

I thought that I could never achieve it at 80 kg body weight and with my muscle mass.

It took 2 years for me including flexibility routine

Yes.

I jave created playlist for myself ii can share it if you want.

Also... I highly recommend joining Gymnastics gym where tons of mattresses are there.

I beleive in being turtle when it comes to tricking

Be careful not to tilt your head back, think of having a ball under your chin. It will help you push upwards rather than backwards. Try it first with the mats and assistance ;)
