The best way is to sign up for a tumbling class.  When you work with someone who has experience and training to teach backflips, it's a much better experience than trying to teach yourself and you'll end up with a nicer backflip.  \n\nComing in a distant second is to get a buddy to help you learn a backflip.  It's more dangerous this way but a lot of things in life are.  \n\nThis website has some tips on learning gymnastics skills.

No unless there is an adult. It really depends on your situation.

To be a legal adult ANYWHERE in the United States, you must be 18.

I started gymnastics when I was 5 and finished my career due to a back injury (as a junior in high school) as a Level 9.  Gymnastics is one of the most difficult sports to master.  You can compete in college as a level 9 (I think) but most college gymnasts are Level 10's or elite gymnasts.  It takes years of training your body to become what it needs to be to perform the difficult skills you would need to compete at a college level.  I would say at the most age 10 or 11 would be the oldest you could be to gain the necessary skills.  Unless you are uniquely blessed with talent, I would say that is an unrealistic goal.  I have coached gymnastics for 5 years and have never seen anyone start gymnatics after hitting puberty and being able to compete at a high level.  Hope this helps.

that depends on your age and who coaches you. If your let's say 12 years old and starting soccer, probably once you finish college.

You gotta start an amateur career first....which means join a gym and then once you are ready, they will put you on amateur cards.

18 is fine, you are legally an adult then.

Work hard and practice!! Work ethic is worth a lot in gymnastics. And the most important thing, never give up!!!

I think much after 45 is waiting too long. But it depends on your training before hand. If you don't have any training at all, and are out of shape, the age is obviously going to be lower, but if you are well trained, then you could try to be professional later on.

Actually I don't think most gyms will take children until they are atleast 18 months-2yrs but maybe you can find one that starts earlier. As for the gym you choose,it depends on where you live in West Virginia. It also depends on what kind of gym you want to join (large gym as opposed to a small gym). A large gym might have more equipment but that doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I go to a smaller gym and I really like it because I know a lot of people there and like all of the coaches that work there too. Its more personal that way and more fun, to me at least. To find a list of gyms in your area you should go to the main yahoo page and then click on 'yellow pages'. Type 'gymnastics' in the 'your search' box. You also need to enter your addres in the location box. A list of gyms will come up along with phone numbers, addresses and even driving instructions in order of distance from your address. Some of them even have websites so you can check them out online. Hope this helps!

Along with your regular Education classes, you would probably need a background in Kinesiology. You will probably also need to show your dance training and what you exact background is.
