+# Go2 Backflips
+
+To try Go2 backflips, follow these steps:
+
+1. Download the checkpoints from the link below:
+    ```
+    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZxBaDP4_Br0ZhriQx_8A3JIwZZLnxix4?usp=drive_link
+    ```
+2. Place the downloaded checkpoints into the `backflip` directory.
+
+For advanced training code, including features like domain randomization and reference rewards for backflip, visit this repository:
+
+```
+https://github.com/ziyanx02/Genesis-backflip
