This video shows a frontflip backcrash ( ke zi shuai di ). Ke zi is the frontflip and shuai di means "fall floor". This is much easier than a normal front flip. Of course you should try the landing on soft mats first. There is an animated tutorial for this skill, so check it for more detailed instuctions. The legs touch the floor first, than the forearms and finally the upper back. There is a little mistake in this viedo... The lower back should not touch the floor. In kids wushu it doesn't make a big difference, but if you are older and try this on hard ground, you should keep your hips and your head off the ground.

BTW... Your legs touch the floor first. !!! Land on the balls of your feet and make sure the ground is not too sticky, because your feet should slip a little forward !!! And don't try this without shoes !!!
