Back Flip Fail

14/4/2017

2 Comments

 
My favourite thing when I travel is stepping out of my comfort zone. Whether it's experiencing a new culture, trying new food or trying an activity I've never done, it's always at the top of my mind. That's why in Thailand, when we took a snorkelling tour, I decided to do a back flip jump for the first time. The hosts were offering a free beer to those who tried, so why not!

It took me at least half an hour of standing on the edge before I gathered up the courage to do it. And it completely failed! I ended up face planting the water, and my bikini top came off in the process! I was so embarrassed that I even forgot to ask for the free beer!

A back flip isn't as easy as it looks like. You have to be agile and flexible in order to do a back flip. My friend who's a dancer even had a hard time to achieve a perfect back flip. He said that you have to prepare yourself, physically and mentally, in order to make a perfect back flip. I'd rather do it in a soft mat and with me alone, than in front of an audience.
