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*

Hey! I've been tumbling for a while. I'm working on my whip through to double. I'm not going to tell you what all these other people have already told you, but in addition:

Make sure you keep your body HOLLOW and as tight as possible. If you do not have a hollow body, you will continue to have the same problem where your hands aren't snapping off the ground. Keep your arms tight by your soldiers untill you have completely finished your backhandspring and have rebounded. Make sure your arms are locked and your abs are in tight.

Good Luck!
Sarah

(Rating: 5) arms are locked as in? Straight? And iv been out for 9 months before i started again, and before i was REALLY in shape and not so much anymore. Can that cause it too?
