Strength to weight ratio & body weight distribution play big factors in male vs female tumbling - particularly standing back flips. Also, guys are often more fearless (foolish?) about trying some skills. (Just general trend, lots of variance from individual to individual)

LOL!! I would lean towards foolish. But I was never as reckless as the “backyard parkour tumbler boys”. Every time I watch them tumble in socks I cringe so hard just waiting for someone to slip >.<

What’s fascinating to me is that you can see this propensity all across adolescent mammals. Young males are eager to play, learn, and fight with their whole bodies. Young females tend to hang back. You can literally see this in monkeys, dogs, cats, dolphins, etc. Of course there are exceptions, but as a general rule it holds up.
