Not quite dead, just lurking. I've taken the more philosophical "don't have anything to say, say nothing at all" approach as of late.
Oh, and I'm lazy. :D

While not common, this type of defense has been around for a long time. Its just a flashy way to get at your opponents legs from a standing position. You usually turn your whole body and do a front roll to accomplish the same thing, but if he has a tight grip on your foot, you go with the backflip. Cary Kolat was a great collegiate wrestler who used it a decent amount in the mid 90's.
Holding onto to it is not the best move against it. Holding on will allow him to arch his back and get at your legs. It becomes a scramble situation with him underneath and between the legs, a superior wrestling position. All he has to do then is sit up and back against his calves, throw the opponent's legs to the side, and secure the takedown. The defense, if you're a quick enough thinker, is to actually throw his legs away as hard as you can, causing him to over rotate and end up off balance on his butt. Then it's an easy takedown for the guy who didn't flip.

No but seriously, that other guy should have just held on to his leg and make him faceplant.
I stick by what I said originally.
