I can't really offer much advice but this website might help you out:

www.wu-wien.ac.at/usr/h96b/h9650297/cap-basics.html (http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/usr/h96b/h9650297/cap-basics.html)

It's a website for capoeria, but there's info on how to do a backflip in there somewhere.

Great question! I would love to learn gymnastics, unfortunately most schools only accept kids, not adults...

BTW - you might try doing practice back-flips on a trampoline or pool...

Don't you learn flips in break dancing?

I really don't think you can do a backflip from just reading, unless you are an exceptional athlete and can it just by watching someone (I've seen it done).

You should find someone who knows how to do it. You can break your neck if you chicken out at the last minute while you are mid air.

Some community colleges offer a 1 credit gymnastics class. You'll have to look around. But, please don't try it by your self.
