Back handspring I think.

 

[Fiercebas]

I'm not sure where the name came from but it's not from gymnastics. In gymnastics we called it a backhandspring.

My cousin did gymnastics, and they called it flicks! or flick-flack. Guess its just different in different places!

That's what we call it in sweden, but if someone talked about a "flick" in english I would think about partner stunt

I heard that in England they call backhandsprings flipflops

 

[FamUsM0m]

ummm why not just call it a backhandspring?

i think these words were created just to sound original lol
a flip flop is something you wear on your feet (also called slippers...unless that's another tumbling move i don't know about)
a flick is something you do with a booger hahah or a bug
i have no idea what a flick-flack is? sounds like someone covering up vulgar language lol
