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, easy even, but they’re more difficult than standing up from a bridge.
Despite those forward skills I have, I cannot stand up from a backbend. I don’t know why! I know I have the core strength necessary but I cant stand up from one without rocking back and forth first. I try and pull myself up and if I don’t catch myself through weird acrobatic movements I fall straight to my back. I know it’s not a super important skill, and I can already do a front handspring, but I want to be able to do a front walkover because……well, just because. My front limber is very inconsistent and like I said I can only do it when rocking back and forth on my hands first. I’ve been trying to get my front limber consistent for months at this point…..and advice is very much appreciated!
