    I've done my backhandspring for the past three days, but now I can't do it?!

    I've had it for the past year, but a cheerleader tripped me up when I did it so I was scared to do it by myself. Well I went to a gymnastics camp and got it back, with no spot. I've been doing it for three days now. Yesterday, (the camp ended yesterday) and I messed up on it. So I came home and...

    Bent right arm on round off back handspring??

    My L4 (YAY!) is having trouble with her ROBHS. She has a decent one on the trampoline but her one on the floor is pretty bad. After an open gym she figured out her problem is she doesn't move her arm from her round off position to her bhs position fast enough having her hand to the side causing...

    A parent question about BHS/ROBHS drills and private lessons?

    OK, so... My DD is 8 and a new level 4. She started pre team at the age of 6. She competed one L3 invitational meet this spring (was technically our 'off season') for fun and loved it. DD is essentially brand new to her gym, again. See, we switched gyms in late fall and based upon original...

    BHS beam series

    Last year my dd competed a bhs step out on beam (L7). Now she is training her BHS-BHS series for L8, but she is training a 2 foot landing on both rather than the step out. It seems like I most often see the BHS step out. Is there any advantage to doing it either way (i.e. is one easier to...

We do backhandsprings every day, but I can't do them! I'm not scared. But every time, everything goes wrong. My legs split wide open...

    How to do a back handspring?

    I am a recreational gymnast,but I want to start competing at level 4. I know the feel of a back handspring because I've done it with a spot. Can you give me some tips.

    Coaches Teaching Backhandsprings with Minimal Equipment

    Recently I've started working with the cheerleading team at the high school I coach at, sort of in an assistant/tumbling coaching position. About a quarter of the girls are (ex) gymnasts/all-star cheerleaders - they can already tumble. Another the next 1/4 can have a RO-BHS or standing BHS -...

    RO BHS? Check! FHS? Check! Level 4? Check?

    My little one is all over her RO BHS, hitting it well enough to be working on form corrections already. She nailed her font hip circle on her first try and keeps hitting it. I was honestly nervous to see if she would be able to transition from Level 3 to Level 4 by fall. It looks like it will...

One of my gg's seems to be twisting in the middle of her backhandspring! her roundoff is straight, going into the flip is straight, and then twisting hips in the air which brings her down crooked. I have...

    turning one hand in on back handsprings and other skills

    I was working on back extension rolls and back handsprings down a wedge tonight and I realized that I always turn my left hand in for both of these skills. I'm guessing I've been doing it for a while and probably on other skills too, but tonight was the first time I noticed it. If I raise my...

    Can't land my roundoff back handspring right??!!! HELP!!

    I just got my roundoff back handspring but for some reason I can't get my chest up and end up crashing on my knees or thudding onto my feet with my hands still on the ground. Also, I tend to go way crooked in my bhs even though my roundoff is straight. Does anyone have tips to fix these problems??
