    Three back handsprings

    What is the deduction for doing three back handsprings on beam in level 8? One alone one in series all landed on beam.

    Back handspring for adult gymnast

    Hi, I am a 28 year old female trying to learn a BHS for the first time. I can do the correct movements using a barrel but as soon as I switch to a spotted BHS I don't seem to be able to keep the correct upper back arch position. Do you know any drills/conditioning exercises that I could do to...

    BHS on beam!

    My daughter got hers last night on the high beam after months of working with the low beam, pads, and the peel-down mats. Once she got one, she just kept going and got five! She was practically floating when I picked her up from practice. (Now I am informed that have to go to the next practice...

    Landing On Knees in BHS

    Hi all :) I am going to give you some background first. I also wish I had a video to post because I know it makes it a lot easier to give skill advice when there's one. Maybe I will try and take one tomorrow at the gym. My DD has been having issues with her RO BHS for awhile now. My guess that...

    Hand Placement in Back Handsprings

    I noticed in my back handsprings my hands face out to the sides instead of the way you would put them in a handstand. Is that okay?

    hand placement on back handspring (beam)

    So I recently decided to start working on my back handsprings on beam. When I do them, instead of putting one hand in front of the other, i put one hand on top of the other. I'm wondering is this safe? Sometimes my hand lands on my top 4 fingers but sometimes it only lands on my pointer finger...

    Challenge: RO BHS drills for a 6'4" college guy

    My college gymnastics club has been going pretty well lately, but we have one who we have run into a challenge with. He's 6'4", very strong, very into parkour and such. He learned a front tuck and standing back tuck, both above my head height in about an hour last year, and perfected them within...

    First BHS step out, LO step out on beam

    I cannot believe my older dd did her first Level 9 series on beam tonight. She is typically very conservative and doesn't like to go for new skills, but surprisingly she went for it! Hopefully this will be a confidence booster for her and her uptraining. I know there is a big jump between...

    Backhandspring HELP!

    Ok, so I can get my back handspring on the tumble track. But on the floor I keep falling, and falling. How can I make my arms and wrist stronger, and what are some drills I can do at home so I can be able to do my backhandspring for gymnastics? Thanks :))

    Front Handsprings, Squat-Ons, Back Handsprings... oh my!

    Last week was my first day back after a LOOOOOOOOOONG break, and I did terribly. I couldn't even walk on the beam without falling off! But this week I was almost back to where I had left off last session. I got all my skills back, and some even better than before. But I am having trouble on...

    Women Backhandspring stepout

    So on beam I'm working on a backhandspring stepout but i can never do them. Why? Well I don't have elbow problems but they seem to collapse in or out when ever i do standing backhandsprings. This dosn't happen when i do round-off backhandsprings though. In a standing backhandspring do you make...

    back handspring?

    So I'm wondering when girls usually start working on back handsprings? My dd has been on L3 team for a year (2nd competition season) and still has a long way to go to master this skill for L4. It doesn't seem like she has worked on it consistently in her team practices. Would there be a...

    DD's BHS fear

    DD (8) is now training step 4 and they are learning RO-BHS (called round-off flic-flac over here). Recently I noticed she seemed to be having problems and even avoiding practicing them at training. She keeps bending her arms, even when she is trying to keep them straight. After talking about...

    Ro, bhs, bt!!

    Yeah! My level 5 DD did her round off, back handspring, back tuck on the floor last night! She was so proud of herself. She had been doing them on the tumble track for a year or more and they looked really good, but she was afraid to do it on the floor. Last night at tumbling class she finally...
