back handspring

Hi! I like to understand things, but having a hard time with this one. My daughter has a fear of bwo but says that bhs is less frightening because ... She sees the beam earier and has time to readjust. ? Does it make sense or not ( explanation of a 9 years old) . She recently switched her...

I have my first EVER gymnastics competition (I will be competing level 8) in about 2.5 weeks. Can anyone watch this video of my roundoff back handspring back tuck and tell me what deductions I might receive for it and any tips on correcting my mistakes? This video was taken on my first day of...

Is it possible to tumble ok without back handsprings? I think my daughter has bad back handsprings, she loses power on them. Can she do roundoff- back tuck? How does tumbling work without back handsprings? Thanks

Need some help getting hands on the beam for back handspring! Can EASILY do back handspring on the floor AND back walkover on beam. When going to do the back handspring on the beam the hands consistently go to the side/do not land on the beam.....help!!!

Would love any advice you have to help my girl square her BHS on beam!! She's been working in consistently over 2 years and can land it... scored 8's or low 9's on beam last year Level 7. But she consistently turns her fingers on the beam the same direction which turns her shoulders and upper...

Hi, Folks, Looking for some tips/tricks (or workarounds) for my daughter. She is a thirteen-year-old level 7 (training some 8 skills but almost certainly staying in 7) who has lingering form issues in her BHS, both on floor and beam--her legs fling apart and her momentum gets sapped. She and...

my round off back handspring is just fine on the grass but when i try to do a standing i have frog legs bent arms and i tried doing so much drills and techniques but they never work. can any one help?

Hi! I’m new here. Please help. I have several kids struggling to learn back handsprings. Which is better to help them, the smarter spotter, pac man, or boulder? I’ve always done hands on double spotting for beginners but I have one who is very frightened of going backwards. (I think it’s...

Hi, I’m 30 year old and just started learning gymnastics for about 3 months. I’v never done gymnastics as a child before. My coach let me practice back handspring in a belt on trampoline. He told me let he didn’t spot me much with the belt now, and there were a few times I did it by myself with...

Quick question, mostly out of curiosity. My DD is being coached to change her hand placement on her beam BHS-step out. She is a lefty in gymnastics (in all gymnastics skills she favors her left side -- tumbling, splits, leaps, etc. -- although she is a "righty" when it comes to everything else...

Basically I have had SO many problems with my back handsprings, especially standing! I have had a standing back handspring for about six months now, and my form has been all over the place. I have attached a video of one of my "better ones", but here are my known issues with my back handspring...

Is it technically wrong (and presumably a deduction) to have bent arms on a BHS on beam? Just wondering because some of DD's teammates bend their arms and I worry that they're going to smack their faces onto the beam one of these days... Wanted input from more knowledgeable people! Thanks.

So I competed my back handspring on beam all season last year. I had the prettiest back handspring on my team, and I even liked doing them. But one day, I suddenly got a mental block. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but now I have had the mental block for 10 months. I can’t even do it on the...

hello everybody! I’m having a bit of trouble keeping my backhandspring. I tend to have it for a few hours consistently and then hours later I just can’t seem to do it and blank right before the skill. It’s getting very frustrating and causing loads of tears. I know I can do it and have done it...

This is my first post- my daughter is a level 6 and her hands are slipping frequently when she does her bhs on beam. She has the correct hand position and fear is not much of a factor but her hands keep slipping which is keeping her from doing the skill. Any suggestions on how to fix this...

Hello, I have a gymnast having challenges with consistent hand placement on her BHS on beam. I have seen videos of other gymnasts using a red “band” around their wrists while training this skill + BHS BHS series. Hoping someone can point me to what those bands are + some opinions from those...

my 8 year old is a level 3 gymnast and tops. She did her first 3 competitions and did great medaled a ton and was really loving being on team...until the dreaded practice where she broke her forearm doing a double backhand spring. She is will be in cast for 6-8 weeks. She was training 12 hours a...

Question for everyone... My daughter has been doing her ROBHS for a few weeks and now doing her standing BHS but with bent arms...and legs. In your experience how long did it take for your kiddos to go from just being able to do it, to being able to do it with proper form? My DD is competing...

I know this question has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for my daughters standing BHS. She has had her BHS for over 2 years now and while it has improved in a lot of ways she still struggles with bent arms. We’ve done drills after drills to correct it and it...

Is not having a super strong standing bridge going to slow down my 6 year old dd bhs progress? Do typically girls with very flexible backs (but little arm strength) get their bhs before others? Her back walkover is ok, not pretty like some other BWO I’ve seen. A standing backbend is her least...
