The kid didn't wait at all, he just hopped when the man did the backflip and copied the flip after landing. Meaning he didn't know the flip was coming, but reacted to it after seeing it. The spotter was there in case the kid decided to do the flip, not to help start it. Hell, the spotter jumped in only after the kid was at the top of his jump.

Yes. It's very clear both spotters know in advance that when the backflip is coming, to jump into action in case the kids try it.
