Iv been doing gymnastics for a couple of years now. At the end of my freshman year I got into it and i was doing really good. I mean i had a backhandspring in like a week, and was adding little tricks to it. Then I tore my ACL and missed 9 months of it. I started back up in Feb. But I came to notice, I think im not doing something right with my backhandspring.
Okay, I go over, But I leave my hands down and wait for ym feet to go over. Is this even right?
I'm pretty sure its not, But I cant remember, And i havent been to gymnastics since March maybe, but I;m going tonight. Can someone tell me if im doing it wrong, what can I do to make it better?
P.s if you do NOT do gymnastics and suggest reading something, I will rate low. I want a gymnast to answer. Thank you and sorry*
Im in cheerleading not gymnastic but i have/had the same problem. My flipflops are slow pretty much. I would just leave my hands down till my feet hit the ground. I was told I just need to snap my feet down more and push with my shoulders. Try thinking of flexing your stomach and staying straight, then making your toes really fast. By that I mean get your toes under youre body faster. Hope this helped
