no not at all..its not too old. im 16 and i started stretching for 1 week all the time morning night and during the day. by the next week i can put my leg behind my legs do the split and everything except middle split all the way but im still flexible as hell and it only took a week!!!..im still stretchign tho cuz i want to get even more flexible. with the backflips and stuff i dont think thats too old either just start off slowly. im trying to do the same exact thing that ur doing! its soo weird.try on a mat first by squatting and hten flip backwards keep doing that until you get more confident with standing up and doin it. if you have a trampoline thats even better. try on there.

chookas mate
its not hte question of age(to a reasonable degree
), but the question on will, but what do i no, i cant flip
You never too old to learn. I'm 18, and still be doing all kinds of flips. My gymnastics instructor is in her late 20s, and still get on the stage every year and flip all over the place.

Be careful on learning how to do a backflip or cartwheel...you don't want to injure yourself in any way. If you're not sure how to do a flip, DON'T DO IT.
no, you're still young. if you were 30 then you would have alot of trouble.
