back handspring

I need some advice on how to not be scared of my backhandspring on high beam. I have had my bhs on the low beam consistently for a couple of weeks without any fear or failure, i am due to compete this skill next weekend and it's one of my requirements. When i get onto the high beam i feel like i...

I’m trying to improve my stepout in my Bhs. I’ve been trying for years to split earlier so I have that beginning shape but I just can’t and I’m jot sure what to do. I have an okay split it’s not totally down and I’ve been trying to stretch my back more for flexibility there as well. I just feel...

trying to think of some new ideas or drills to help 7year old connect her round off to BHS. she can’t figure out she needs a rebound and just squats going into her BHS. Advice? She can do the skills independently but can’t work out the connection, I’m out of ideas.

I’ve had my bhs and stepout for so long for a couple years and I had a strong one last year! Nowadays it’s super off and on! Here are the video comparisons separated by a couple weeks! But lately they’ve been so bad and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong now or how to improve! The first one is...

Alright, so let's talk high-level backhandsprings. More and more coaches seem to be coming around to the viewpoint that arms vertical and straight to "block" is suboptimal for high level backhandsprings, because it does not allow the center of mass to pass far enough over the hands before...

Hello All, Looking for some suggestions for my daughter on fixing an issue she has had for quite some time with her back handspring. When she lands on her hands for her back handspring her shoulders are open and arms straight but she immediately bends her elbows before pushing off her hands to...

Hi, I've been trying to learn my back handspring for about 3 months now, but I can't seem to get it right. I've been practicing with those round/octagonal barrel things and I can do it fairly well with them or when someone is spotting me. But when I try to do it on trampoline or tumble trak...

So, ive been doing gymnastics (as an adult) for around 5 months now. I go to class (1.5 hours) 2 times a week. I work out a little at home but really not much honestly. The thing is i realllllllyyy (and i can not emphasise how much) really really want to get a back handspring. I am getting...

Hi. My dd is in a competitive gymnastics squad. She is 6. She just got her back handspring a few weeks ago. First few weeks it's been great but it actually now seems to be getting worse each time. We have a trampoline at home so I am worried shes picking up bad habits from that I told her to...

Hi everyone. I’d like some feedback for my daughter’s back handspring. As you can see, her knees buckle out of the round off and she jumps off of her toes. This has caused significant issues with her “throwing” her RO BHS BT so she’s opted to stop competing floor altogether. We know this issue...

I'm in level 7 and can't quite seem to connect my back walkover back handspring, I was wondering if anyone can help me overcome my fear of this skill?

So, I got my roundoff back handspring back tuck at the end of October 2019. I did really amazing ones throughout November. I was very confident with them, had tons of height and power, and they were amazing. At my inter-squad meet in November the pass was perfect! I continued doing them...

Finally got a back handspring "well I think" and my left arm hurts but my right arm doesn't what can I do to make it stop

I have seen that it is usually recommended to learn a back handspring before a back tuck. What are the reasons and do they still apply to adults? More generally, does anyone have any recommendation on progressions for these two skills for adults (male in his 30s here)? As an adult male even if...

My daughter's first ever Level 3 meet is this Saturday. She lost her BHS after a bad landing at practice a couple of weeks ago and has not gotten it back. She said she is now scared to do it, even though she knows she can. She does it with help during practice but is she allowed to not try it at...
