๐ ๐ whether itโs tucked, piked, laid out or with a twist - today is the day of the backflip!
Celebrate with us by using #NationalBackflipDay & posting your favorite flips!
Olympian Fred Richard needs your help to make National Backflip Day official!
You donโt have to be able to do a backflip yourself โ as long as you post a video on your Instagram story of an object like a water bottle or a coin even doing a flip and use the National Backflip Day sticker, it counts!
Head over to Fredโs Instagram page to make sure you use the correct sticker so your backflip can count ๐โผ๏ธ You have until the end of 12.21 (tomorrow) to post!
This just in: @FrederickFlips does indeed flip.
Congratulations to @UMichGym National Champion Fred Richard on setting the @GWR for backflips in a 24-hour period while raising money to send gymnastics equipment to underprivileged children in Africa!
