How-to: Dwarven Backflip

[halfer777]

Does anyone here have a surefire method of performing a dwarven backflip?

If you don't know what I mean, allow me to explain: Dwarven males have a racial ability of doing a barrel roll when jumping with forward momentum. This is a commonly held misnomer, as a barrel roll would be rolling horizontally, not vertically. It's a somersault. ANYWAY:

If you perform a jump and move backward at the right time, you will do the rolling animation, but move backwards a little bit: this is a Dwarven Backflip, and I swear the timing on performing this extraordinary feat is stricter than what most fighting games require in their inputs. I've exhausted my stamina bar more than a few times trying to accomplish this.

I once beheld a dwarf displaying a strange backflip method on a med-break once in Karnors, where he would run forward, and suddenly reverse his momentum alongside a leap. He swore he was doing backflips, but I didn't see it on my end. He happened to make an all-time hi-score for consecutive backflips in this manner, ostensibly.

If you haven't seen the dwarven parkour video, please be inspired at:

Do any of you guys know how to perform these things consistently? I usually press spacebar and try to hit my "move back" key after a bit, and I end up doing nothing but crouching.
