Mouthing Off With Mikey

July 10 2009

Our intern Mikey came to me this morning to discuss what was on his mind. And to my surprise it wasn't whether the toilet needed to be cleaned, or the floor to be swept, but about Back Flips. He claims that kids these days cannot lay it out correctly. So I wanted to give him the opportunity to help you guys out with a few pointers straight from the office.

Check out these step by step photos on how to lay one out. And see what Mikey has to say about it!

"Sup Punks! To lay one out proper just try to kick yourself in the back of da head! It's that simple!" -Mikey the Intern
