Description:
The route has its name because of the ease with which the rope gets behind your leg causing you to flip upside down. (FA Curtis Mai) This route shares the top anchors with "water ballet". Here is a POV GoPro head cam video of this climb (HD): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byrc8-uK4S4

Back Flip
Fun variety of moves. I believe this route had a 4th bolt added which helps avoid the "rope behind the leg" thing.

Fun but scary
Don't fall when clipping on the third bolt.

Tricky and a mental challenge
I agree with the last post, bolting seemed to be on purpose to get you commited.
