Anyone ever heard of this?  I'd like to join a group to improve upon my skills, but I don't know where to start.  If you don't know what it is, here's a link to a video;

How would I find a group for this or what is all of this (mainly the flips) considered as far as gymnastics goes, and do they have classes or something for that stuff or do I need a trainer?

Let's see, butterfly twist, front tucks, front fulls, corkscrews, double legs, front layouts, double fronts, branni backs, back hand springs, double full to punch-front.  Yeah, you won't be doing any of these for many years.  

 I's recommend you start taking gymnastics lessons at a local gym before starting parkour.


i'm capable of pulling off half of the things in that video... my main problem is backflips and back hand springs due to lack of a place to practice



Which is why you should be getting gymnastics lessons.  You should have those two before you have anything else since those are foundation tricks.  Anyways, formal training seriously helps with form and makes things easier.
