Well maybe if he stopped landing on his right elbow whenever doing the flip, he'd get it right.

But still better than I could do.

Perseverance and determination will get you far. He almost has it.

for being a good sport and practicing and continually attempting to get it right.

i mean thats how you get good at anything. i mean if he was acting like a choad and throwing a temper tantrum or something i would hav been "eh,,douche bag".

but he stayed focused and tried.

I agree.. He almost has it too..I want to say that the padding was impeding his progress too
I think learning how to macauca (sp) single handspring from a crouched position is the most efficient to teach back handspring that I've seen thus far, except it develops the tendency to veer sideways.
dude needs to lock out his hands though or he might crack his head open or hurt himself. :)

starchaser, that's how I'm learning. Also, if the guy went more up instead of back it might help some in the beginning.

I've got to give him alot of props for trying. I wish I had a crash mat at home so I could get some decent instruction by a gym coach then go home and practice over and over like that.

What struck me as hilarious was him trying to run up the wall. :D
