sure thing
by matt, the tkd freak on 2001-02-04i think the best way to start is by getting a good backbend. if you have access to a pool try it there first. i recomend starting with a grassy incline. just hop up and arch your back. let your hands touch and then roll down your stomach. this will really help you with overcoming backward fears. you could also try it with a roundoff first to relieve some fear and add momentum. you only have to do it once then all fear is over. go for it and good luck! any other questions, clarifications or training methods just email me.

cheerleading
by rachel on 2001-02-21| hi i need help big time! i want to try out for cheer leading and i'm not good at all..i need to learn all the stuff like back flips, bends, handsprings, it all...can you please please help. cheering is my dream |
rachel...
by matt on 2001-02-22| do uyou have a good backbend yet? the better your back flexibility, the easier this is. you dont really have to jump much just throw your arms in a half circle and backbend...keep treying it and if you need and help or got any questions feel free to email |
How to
by michael on 2001-03-06| Hate to break it to you all but this move is too easy. I learned how to do this in less ten 30 minutes. Remember, the only thing that keeps you from going back is your own fear. You have to get very emotion before you jump. Get angry or something. Think of the emotion and when you feel like that emotion is going tro blow, bend your knees jump up and think bend your back and flip your arm over your head. and turn your head. You would automatically go over. I f you crqsh, don't get scared. Get that mental edge and try again! |
AHHH!!!
by cheerleader pro! on 2001-03-06| Help! I need help with my back handsprings because i suck at them! i am worried that i might get kicked off the team! i dont think i will, but just to be on the safe side..... HELP ME PLEASE! |
use a spotter, video tape
by Zolt on 2001-03-07| Having a spotter helped me. also if you can video tape yourself that can help. it was awhile before I realized I was piking instead of stretching out. sometimes seeing what you look like in comparison to someone who can do one is enough to fix some problems. this is especially true if you have the flexibility and strength, but not the "air-sense" to know what your body is doing or what it needs to be doing to do a move correctly. |
Cheerleaders...
by Andy on 2001-03-07Well, there is a lot to say about the back handspring but some good and fun facts are that even though the back handspring is easier then a back flip it requires better technique.. The reason to that it you don't need the explosive power you need in a tuck.. So you might say it's harder but easier :) Well to learn it there are better and even better ways to learn it.. The best way is to have a spotter as my friend Zolt says.. For the safest way to learn it you need 3 things.. A good and educated spotter (Like me:) a padded incline and/or a foam pit or pool.. Start off with going to your friends pool and start diving or flipping backwards in to the pool (to get over the back flip fear and to get control in the air) You'll need it!! Do this for at least a day (over 10 hours) Good thing here is to have the spotter (educated trainer) to tell you here the flaws and the wrongs.. Then go home and get the bed mattress and go to a pretty good hill with a nice incline... Not to much but not to little...Then have the spotter and friend help you the first times until you fell comfy in the air then just have the spotter help you.. the just minimize the incline until you can do it on top.. When you are on top do the handsprings on grass with the spotter (ONLY ONE) for about a week with about 3 hours a day then you can add another one.. (YES, YOU GOT THE BACK HANDSPRING!)
If you need additional help just e-mail me at fta@home.se Good Luck! |

Backhandsprings
by Drew J on 2001-03-09How flexbible or strong is your back? If you match these qualities then I suggest trying to do a back hand spring in place. In your standing position try to bend back so that you are able to land the bridge position. It may be difficult at first, but it'll help you in the long run. As you progress I suggest having a really good spotter and have an object placed behind you, like mats stacked up on one another, so that it forces you to not touch the object. This will help you on reach, control and confidence. Mainly, it is fear that prevents us from doing athletic manuvers. But as they say "If you fail, try and try again." GO - TEAM!

Back Hand Springs
by SpnKick540 on 2001-03-09| When you squat down to take off, make sure you're leaning slightly back as if you're going to sit in a chair. Now as you jump backwards, keep your arms straight and as close to your head as possible. Arch your back as much as comfortably possible. Let your legs follow your body. Don't try to curl them under you. As soon as your hands touch the floor, snap out of the handspring the same as you would a round off. It would be best to have someone spot you on your back and legs the first few times. |
the capoeira method
by novilho on 2001-03-12| Capoeira has a series of progressive moves to help you back handspring. The first is a macaco or monkey flip. Squat down and put one hand behind you. Now reach the other hand over to the first and go into a kind of wierd cartwheel. Step two is to keep your legs together and move them sideways instead of cartwheeling them. Step three is to mix one and two together, so you reach back like the second with legs together, but try to get it up like a cartwheel. It's kinda hard to describe, but just play about with it. Also really hop off your feet when you go back, this will get you used to the spring. Step four involves doing these moves with a hop and trying to reach more and more overhead instead of to the side. Your planted hand will rotate when you go over automatically, so don't worry about that. Just try to plant the second hand on the other side of the first so they're shoulder width apart and in parallel to your shoulderblades. Again, play about with the moves- this will build confidence and get your body used to the idea as well as training your muscles. Step five is to do this from standing, sitting into a crouch, leaning back and going into a rear cartwheel. The more energy you put into this the better. After a bit of practise, you'll probably have something that looks a bit like a slanted back handspring or round off going backwards. Now all you have to do is straighten up those shoulders on take off and you'll go over straight. Mats help. Spotters help too. Your fear should have faded a bit by now and since you're body's got used to the idea, you should be able to do it. The best way to stop it becoming an automatic thing to go slanted is to become competent going over both sides. Then when you feel ready, just go for it and don't decide which way to lean. This is the hard bit, but watch others do the move- on video in slo-mo if possible. Watch how the arms swing and how they generate the momentum. Just keep playing with the movement- eventually something will click into place and you'll just go over backwards and do a proper back handspring. |

back handspring
by matt on 2001-04-04| i read a bunch of the questions about the back handspring. and i know that everybody can do it. all you have to do to get ready for one is lie flat on the ground, then do a bridge. if you can do that you can do a handspring, because that is a similar position to it. now that you did that go up a small hill. face the top, and have somebody like 10 feet behind you. then just lean back and kick your feet up in the air, if you make it at least to your knees you can do it, if not just keep trying and you will get it. i know that because i am a varsity gymnast at my high school, im a sophmore. |
back handspring
by MEDS on 2001-04-05| matt, dont mean 2 bag ur explanation, but to any1 trying this for the first time, "lean back and kick your feet up" may make them pike.Try to throw ur upper body back and try 2 plant ur hands where your feet were...ur legs are kinda dragged - you only need to push off a little.As ur legs come over u'll find the weight momentarily eases off ur hands...this is when u push away from the ground, and hopefully land it...dont concentrate too much on landing it at first tho',just get over onto ur knees, like matt said. |

Back Hand Spring
by Chris on 2001-04-17To increase your back flexibility get into the bridge position (sometimes called crab position) so your arms and legs are on the ground and your stomach is pushed up in an arc towards the ceiling. Once you are up, walk your legs towards your hands so that your arms become less horizontal and more vertical. After practicing for a while when you can walk your legs about 12" away from your hands, try to spring your legs over your body - towards your hands so that you land upright on your feet. This can be done by kicking one leg up first whilst in the bridge and then when it is vertical, kick the other up following it round. Once you are able to to this, all you need to do is be able to bend backwards into the bridge position. This requires a lot of confidence and it is best to practice on something soft. To start with, get into a low stance by opening up your legs a shoulder width apart and bending them. Now, twist to one side and put the same side arm back down to touch the floor and follow it with the other arm. Once you have mastered this, try getting into a low stance again and going over slowly backwards letting both hands hit the floor at the same time.
Now your hands are on the floor, use the previous technique of walking your feet up to your hands and flip them over your head. After lots of practice you should eventually be able to drop your hands backwards over your head landing them close to your feet and then be able to spring your legs backwards over your hands landing upright. With lots of practice you can do this is one flowing motion. It will take time for your back to become more flexible so be patient and practice lots on something soft. |

MAD!!!
by BBoy Twisted Dezire on 2001-05-28I can do PERFECT back handsprings into a pool, but the second I take two steps away from the pool I can't do it! I should have gotten over the fear by now. I am not scared when I do it into a pool, but am when I do it on land:-(
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! |
MAD!!!!
by Anonymous on 2001-05-28| YOu're problem isn't fear. It is easier to do a back-handspring into the pool. When you go on the land it is 10X harder becouse you use your arm strength when you do the "spring" part of the backhandspring. In a pool you just jump backwards. you don't have to "spring" with your hands. This means you might not have developed you're are strength or back flexibility. So a good way to practice is by doing a handstand; the core of gymnastics. |

Better Backhandsprings
by Shandra on 2001-06-26Hey I am Shandra, I have taken gymastics for a long time at a very great gym who is sponsored by USA gymnastics.
To make your backhandspring better:
1) first of all you need to be able to do a backwalkover.
2) If you compare 2 persons who does a backhandspring, being able to do a backwalkover, and not being able to do a backwalkover, the person who can do the backwalkover will have the better backhandspring.
3) You need to have great flaxibility in the shoulders and back. you should do a brige everyday to increase this.
4) when you are ready to do a backhandspring you need to stand upright, hands tight above your head.
5) swing your arms back, and bend down into a sitting position.
6) then swing your head back and arch your back.
7) your head should have swung back.
8) then tap your hands on the ground and stand up.
9) You need to have a rebound out of your handspring because if you are going to be doing a combination such as (roundoff backhandpsring back tuck) you need rebound.
*Doing a roundoff backhandpsring the round off is the most difficult skill. it contains over 400 different parts and the backhandpring includes 40. after the roundoff you will have plenty of momentum to do the handpsring.* Thanks |

by Hitori on 2001-06-30Hi..
I'm a JV Cheerleader and one of our goals is for group backhandsprings..
It's not necessary, but I want to learn it anyway!
I'm really flexible but when I do my backbend I feel like my arms are too bent together... And I have a mind boggling fear that I won't land on my hands when I try..
Also I feel like I'll bend my arms and my head will hit the ground when I try it.. can anyone please send me any info and help! Thanks so much! |
Baby steps
by Allie on 2001-07-06| Hey! I finally have been able to do a back bend! Here's how I did it: stand right against a wall, then take about two regular steps forward. Lean back until you can touch the wall with your hands. The next thing is to walk your hands down the wall while walking your feet forward. If you can't make it all the way down to the floor, just stop and hold yourself there for fifteen seconds. That way, your back will have been stretched and you'll get the hang of being hanging upside down. If you can make it to the floor, congrats! Keep on doing this, but when you start, start further away from the wall so you can get the hang of free falling for a few milliseconds. Trust me, it might seem scary but its fun and much easier than just going straight into a back bend! |

by Mat on 2001-07-22| I woke up this morning and thought, "I wanna do a back handspring". So, thats all the experience I have with the move!

. . . .
by Hitori on 2001-07-27well, it's not really quite as easy as
"oh, I guess I'll do a back handspring"
First, as everyone says, you need a good back bend. The best place to improve this is where there is a mat (it's the easiest). Get into the bridge position and move your hands closer to your feet, and your arms are almost vertical, instead of bent in the bridge position. |

Thanks So much!

by etw on 2001-12-22| please help me if i dont do one my friends wont be impressed thank you |
Here's how I learned it
by Cliff on 2001-12-27First of all, get a gymnastcis coach. If you can't, here it is:
I'd definately recomend a spotter so that you don't get hurt. All they need to do is spot your lumbar spine as you go over. Start with your arms at your sides, but behind your butt. Make like you're sitting in a chair, BUT DON'T BOW FORWARD. Yes, it feels like you're going to fall on your rear, but tha't when you jump, throw your arms over your head and throw your head back. If you have a good arch and jump, at least you'll land on your hands. From there, just snap you legs down and out and land with you arms up. You should land a little less then two body lengths away, if you end where you started, you're undercutting the technique and it's a good way to injure yourself. I'd start on a Tumbletrack or soft mat, first, then move to the floor. This way, you don't wear your wrists down too much. I'd also highly recommend wearing wrist guards. I've just got this move down, and those were the steps I took...but I do have a coach. |
SPOTTERS
by Anonymous on 2002-01-03| Hey I dont know how to do a backhandsrping but I got a feeling that I can and cna anybody tell me how the spotter is supposed to spot you while you go over. That will be lots of help. |
spotter
by Anonymous on 2002-01-06| Basically, the spotter puts his/her hand on you lower back and helps you over. |
backhandspring
by Mackstar069 on 2002-01-11| if u wanna do a back handspring its not that u think about landin on ur head its about arm strenght me personally i can flip very good but people who cant flip worth a shit need 2 practice their jumping and try doing some pushups before flipping or trying 2 because while u r making the assumption that u are going 2 land on your head u could be practicing or warming up |

comment
by erica on 2002-06-17when i clicked on backhandspring it only gave a definition as the same for all the other tumbling. that is not going to help anyone unless they learn just by reading some 1 to 2 sentence defintion. there should be helpful hints. thats just a comment that you guys take in to consideration.
thanks erica |

How to do it!!!
by Tanya on 2002-06-21| Well if you wanna learn a back hadspring you gotta first learn to do it on the tumble track aka trampoline. Well start jumping up and down count to 3 throw your ARMS into the air and flip your arms back... flip your arms back BEFORE you turn your head right when your hands touch the ground your feet should be touching the ground already. Well good luck. If you need anymore questions... email meh!!! |

THX LOTS |
. . . .
by *stephanie* on 2002-07-01hey Jorden,
I was scared at first doing a back walkover then my mom (who's very flexable too) told me that my hands will hold me and that i shouldent be scared. and i did it with know problem at all so if you can kick your leg over and you can go back into a backbend my standing then you can do it put the leg that you kick over with in front and leave the other one so it will be there for support to help you balance and go back and your legs will kickover by them selfs -k- this advice is for everyone who cant to a back walkover |

which one first?
by renne on 2002-07-15hey! i was just wondering, which one i should learn to do first, a back walkover or a back handspring? because i really don't know which one i should do in order for me to do a back handspring more easily.
could someone just post an answer plz?
thanx! |
re:which one first
by Monica on 2002-07-15| Renne, well theres really no right answer. I have my backhandspring, but i don't have my back walkover. If you think it'll be easier than you can but if you don't then you don't have to. IF you wanna get right to the point then just work on your backhandspring, the back walkover is just optional.. It's not a requirement! |

REPLY: which comes first
by Jamie on 2002-07-16renne: it really doesn't matter which comes first, the backhandspring or the backwalkover, because i've heard of people who have done one or the other first and then they get the other skill later. But.....i've been a gymnast for 5 years and i got my backwalkover first. I think it's easier that way because in the long run, the backwalkover will help you SO much in your backhandspring. When I was in gymnastics in about my 3rd year, I still didn't have my backhandspring. (I had a roundoff backhandspring, but not standing). So, I taught myself. I know, I know, it's unsafe to teach yourself with no help or spots or even any mats. But hey, i did. All I did (be sure you TRUST YOURSELF TOTALLY) is did backbend kickovers fast untill it was like, turbo speed lol. Then you do them the same way, exept you try to jump back (so you have your feet off the ground) before my hands touched. By the time I got rid of my fear to jump backwards, I was doing a backhandspring!

P.S. IM me on AIM at gymnastgal1101 or e-mail me at jnb1101@hotmail.com for any questions on gymnastics. I'll be happy to answer you all and give you help! |
