How do you push a BHS out further? I do standing BHS, and my hands end up 2-3 inches away from where my feet were at the beginning. How do you fix it? I've heard it causes back problems, does it really?
So, Dd went to Flip Fest (week 2). This was her VERY first away camp. And though she was a little home sick in the beginning, she enjoyed herself. But what she enjoyed most was learning new skills. The guest this week were Svetlana Boguinskaia (she's super funny and I love that she worked w/ the...

I can see that the problem starts with her hurdle. She lands her roundoff in a deep squat. She bends her legs and her arms in the back handspring. She undercuts. Basically everything is wrong with it. She is very flexible and has a gorgeous front and back walkover. This is a real problem...
Should a first year level 4 have his back handspring by now? Mine does not, but he is still working on it. I just feel like most boys have this skill by now. Am I wrong?
I really need help with my back handspring on beam! It is really inconsistent. Sometimes it is really nice and sometimes it is horrible.
My biggest problem is hand placement. I try to look for the beam, but I rarely get them on correctly, and one of my hands has slipped off several times. The...
As most of you know by now, my gym has been rec only ever since I started coaching there. Kids were coming once a week for an hour.
I am now starting an xcel team. Girls will be required to come twice a week for 90 minute classes. Most of these kids have pretty lousy form on a lot of skills...
Hi
I have some gymnasts that need to start thinking about connections on beam, I would like to do back handspring layout step outs with them and I was wondering if anyone had any good drills/techniques you use to make these work for your gymnasts
Thanks :)
Hi. I am training to do back handsprings. I can do them with a spot. But once I try by myself, I am scared that my hands won't hold me up and I'll fall. Any tips?
My daughter is having a heck of a time getting this skill. She just started gymnastics one year ago and she is competing at a Level 3. She has been working so hard to get her ROBH and is often landing on her head :( she's definitely strong enough -- that's not the issue at all. I wish that I...
I can jump over a octagonal shape mat without any problem. It's pretty big, but I still can get over it without touching it. When my coach goes to spot me, I guess I don't jump at all, and I always land on my butt.
I don't feel like I'm not jumping. I feel like I'm giving the same power that I...
Hi! I'm not in gymnastics, I'm in cheerleading but I still wanted an answer from gymnasts or gymnastics coaches since I trust those more. So my elbow are hyperextended elbows and it's really bad. I've been working on my roundoff back handspring for two years and my coach has been telling me that...
I posted a few weeks back about my DD having trouble undercutting her back handspring. We chose to go to private lessons with a personal friend who happened to work at our gym previously. In 3 lessons he corrected the problem that the gym hasn't been able to correct in 6 months. It isn't perfect...
