WAG Handstand backhandspring on beam

[146010]

How can I improve my handstand backhandspring for beam? I have a pretty solid backhandspring on beam. In my handstand backhandspring on floor I go back instead of up and I come down kinda hard on my hands. Usually, my hands don't make it on the line.

The BHS on beam needs to be higher and shorter than it is on floor. Work the handstand into BHS up hill onto a box or mat to help get the height.

Lean forward on your take off to the BHS to create more undercut. This would be incorrect for floor, but beam is a whole different ball game.
