@Aussie_coach no I've never went up a hill, I have gone down but not up. And thank you! I didn't know I was supposed to lean my chest down on the beam back handspring. This explains a lot, because I have a rather short back handspring when tumbling because my chest is down out of my round off...
@gymdog yes, I have all of my splits. I'm pretty sure my hip flexors aren't the best but they aren't terrible. Is there any stretches I can do for them?
Okay so I've been working on back handsprings on beam for over a year now. They haven't gotten any better. I'm still on low beam with mats. I have done it on the medium beam with a spot. I've been told so many things about my handspring are wrong. Like, I keep my head in and end up not seeing...
Thank you everyone for all the replies, my coach spotted me on tuck halfs off an air board onto an 8 incher. I think they went way better. But also I think I do Better at tuck halfs than layout halfs. I twisted to the right. I've done lots of research on when to actually twist, most of it said...
Oh okay! That makes a lot more sense, I kept pulling right, no wonder I've never made a half. And I was so confused why front twisting was much easier than back twisting for me! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow! Thank you so much!
Thank you guys! I think I figured out my back twisting problem. I was pulling my arms to my right shoulder. So is the correct? Pull to left shoulder=right twist, pull to right shoulder=left twist?

Bad quality video but my back layout on rod floor, and my Front layout full off tumble track. My coach is wanting me to start back halfs, but I feel like I pike too much in my layout to start halfs. How do I take the pike out? Also when I do start...
