Speaking from someone who has attempted a very similar looking maneuver in the past (because backflips are a pretty terrifying concept to me), I think you have to tuck your legs once spinning. At least that's what I've observed others doing and it seems to work for them. But opening up/flattening out mid-spin kills most of the inertia you had/would have had.
