    WAG Backbend vs bridge kickover

    DD has a beautiful, controlled handstand, bridge, kickover. However, when she does her backbend, bridge, kickover, the back bend is super jerky (she goes a little ways, stops, little farther, stops, etc.). Is that a confidence thing? Looking for where to put her hands? Something else? I am...

    WAG Standing up from a backbend

    Here is something I don’t get: I can do a front handspring, a front handspring step out, a front tuck on tumbletrack, and I know while I’m not strong, I‘m definitely not as weak as I used to be when I first started gymnastics again (so around 6-7 months ago). yes I know they’re basic skills...

    WAG I keep losing my backbend kickover

    So I got my backbend-kickover around a fortnight ago and then starting working on my back walkover and even did that a few times. Except for the past few days I can't. Like, literally CANNOT. You could hold me gunpoint and tell me to do one and I would just accept my doom. I have no problem with...

    Hi, I need some help! I'm not actually a gymnast but a competitive cheerleader. I need some help being able to kick over from a backbend. I've been trying but nothing works. I know that I am not locking my arms, but I just can't kick over.

    Backbend kickover to a backwalkover

    How do I transition from a backbend kickover to a backwalkover when I get the kickover? Is it hard to change into a walkover?

    Backbend kickover

    I need a backbend kickover ASAP. I was supposed to have it before we started competing a year ago. But I had every other skill so I put it off. My back isn't very flexible but I can do a backbend now. My shoulders aren't flexible and that's the problem. I can do a kickover off of the lowest...

I have just one problem- I can't kick over from a backbend! I've tried a lot of things to help me- at the gym and at home. I tried it on an incline mat-...

    WAG Help with backbend kickover?

    I started gymnastics 2 months ago and I've been struggling to get my backbend kickover. I can do a backbend just fine. I can do a kickover with mats stacked 6 inches high, but no less than that. Any tips, conditioning, or stretching advice? Also, is it easier to do with your head neutral or...

    I won't make team without my backbend kick over!

    My coach told me last night its sad that I have all my skills except my back bend kick over and that I have the technique just not enough shoulder flexibility and that I won't make team without it! I think team evaluations are today so I'd need it in a week. Sent from my DROID RAZR using...

    Backbend help

    I try to do my backbends but every time I lean back I go too fast. I sometimes can catch myself but my coach says that I need to work on them because I could break my elbow if I go too fast. I look at my hands but it just doesn't help. Do you guys have any advise on them besides practice and...

I haven't perfected all the material in the new class - back hip circles on bars, forward rolls & jumps on beam, and backbend kickovers on floor. I know for sure that backbend kickovers...

    Backbend Kickover - How to prevent this from happening again?

    I was coaching tumbling a few days ago and one of my tumblers did a successful backbend. However, the kickover did something strange and honestly freaked me out. I'll try to explain it the best way I can: While she was in the backbend, she lifted her leg. Once her feet got off the mat, it...

    Backbend kickover ?

    DD has been working so hard on her backbend kickover and she just can get it yet. I remember when I was a gymnast it took me forever to get my backwalkover I think I grew the tiniest bit and then I got it. Could the same be true or is it a strength issue. Any tips/conditioning she can work on...
