"I've already showed you a lot of tricks, it's possible to learn all of these tricks in one day but it's preferable to take it slower and learn these tricks over time. This could be an entire years worth of tricks that we're showing you up until now. Now, earlier I said you can check all of your tricks by repeating them. Of course, one of the most fun to repeat over and over, is the backdrop or regular backdrop. You can see I can get higher and higher and higher. Also, I wanted just to point out I'm doing this as a slight diagonal nit because it's cracked but to give you a better view of it. It should be done absolutely straight on, like this. So, let me show you that again and I'm going to see if I can stay in the bounce, say I'll do three of four backdrops, backdrop, backdrop, backdrop. Now this time I'm going to show you a position in the air. I want to do a backdrop and hit this slightly piked lay out position with my hands right here. Lets see if I can do it. I'm going to do it on a diagonal so you can see it better. Did you see the position in the air?"
