In an extraordinary display of determination and skill, Inga Petry, a girl born without arms, embarks on an inspiring journey to learn how to backflip in just one day. The process, meticulously documented, showcases not only Inga's incredible spirit but also the innovative teaching methods employed to achieve this astounding feat.

The journey begins with teaching Inga the essential body positions required for a backflip. By having her jump onto a mat and replicate the feeling of the first half of the flip, she quickly grasps the necessary movements. Next, she rolls backward off a block, simulating the second half of the flip. Combining these drills, Inga starts and finishes on her feet, effectively practicing a complete backflip.

Progressing to a t****oline, Inga jumps repeatedly, each time lifting her hips higher. With each attempt, the goal is to reduce external assistance, allowing Inga to apply more power on her own. Her rapid progression is nothing short of remarkable.

A heart-stopping moment occurs when Inga bails mid-attempt, narrowly avoiding a head-first fall thanks to a timely save. Undeterred, she immediately resumes her efforts, coming tantalizingly close to landing the flip on multiple tries.

Finally, the triumphant moment arrives. Inga lands her first independent backflip, a testament to her perseverance and hard work. This achievement brings immense joy and satisfaction, marking a significant milestone in her life.

Witness this inspiring journey by watching the full video and experience the incredible determination of Inga Petry as she conquers the seemingly impossible.
