    Women Back handspring mental block

    I’m starting tumbling again in college. I had a back handspring for a while but then it was a while since I threw one and now my brain legit wont let me throw it. I know I can do it physically and I’ll throw it on the tumble track/trampoline and even with a barrel or a spot. The second that...

    Coaches Hands in beginner backhandsprings?

    I am training up a group of girls JO level 2 to Level 3. When it comes to backhandsprings do you teach fingers facing in or traditional forward? I learned with fingers forward unless it’s in your vault. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to fingers facing in? Which do you teach and why!? The...

    Coaches drills for undercut backhandsprings

    I feel like I posted this before but I can’t find it. I tumble at a decent level, but I have a super bad / undercut back handspring that’s affecting me a lot. I don’t have a spotter right now. Are there drills to help with this?

    Gymnasts BHS Trouble

    Can anyone tell me examples of floor routines without a back handspring? Or tips on how to be less nervous about doing BHS? ’m really close to getting it but I’m nervous about actually doing it on the floor. I am also working on my aerial if that helps. I am currently training Xcel Gold.

    Parents Back handspring on beam mental block

    Hi, My daughter has been struggling with her BhS on beam for about a year after a pretty major fall where she missed her hands and ended up in hospital getting her shin xrayed as she whacked it really hard on beam on the way down. It seems to have spread to other skills on beam aswell. She made...

    Gymnasts undercut backhandsprings

    My round off back handspring has been bothering me for years. I don’t back twist so the only back pass I work is double back. I have a solid one on trampoline and I have it on tumble track as well but it hasn’t been super consistent and I’m at the point where each turn is entirely dependent on...

    Coaches Teaching bhs with minimal spotting

    I have some rec girls who are ready to start actually learning a bhs, and we have done many drills (strong back bend, excellent form over a barrel-- and I insist they have a solid jump OVER, not INTO the barrel, snap downs...). Basically worked each section separately. We are moving into...

    Anon BHS verses 2 back walkovers on the beam and scoring

    Would a back step out on the beam verses two connected back walkovers potentially score higher in xcel platinum. I read something in another forum about the back step out being so fast that it’s harder for the judges to see deductions verses the two walkovers being slower. Curious if this is true.
