    BacKhandspring on beam

    According to my daughter, her coach spots backhandspring on beam differently depending on the gymnast. Hence, the backhandspring performed by the gymnasts in her gym differs slghtly. The first half is uniform, jumping backward etc. The last segment and/or coming out of a backhandspring is...

    Bhs on beam

    Hi everyone So I can do a bhs on high beam by myself with 2 eight inches under it. My coach won't let me do them without the mats until I can do it on the low beam. Whenever I do it on the low beam by myself I always can't land it. I always split the beam and land hard on my knees. I don't...

    How to back handspring video.

    If you already have a back handspring on floor then this video isnt for you, also if you have a short attention span (video is 22 minutes long), but this is 10 years of coaching condensed as small as I possibly could. Hope you like it. Coach Frank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZuI9J6PIwo:D...
