The back hand spring will come. Once you do it by yourself, you'll have no problem after. Try having just one person spot you, then have them only put their hand behind you, not touching you. That is doing it by yourself. Then try moving to someone just standing there. Thats how I did it, and I got mine two weeks after starting gymnastics. If your scared, don't push it, that will just cause injury. Around my town we have different names for the hurks. Our side hurk is your side hurderler. This is your still facing to the front, your "right" leg will go up, your arms parallel to your right leg, and your left is bent. Bent as in if your sitting in a sit jump.

((her leg realllly gets up there, haha))

A hurkey is pretty much the same. Instand of bending down, you'll be straight up, your "right" arm parallel to your "right" leg. Your "left" arm will either be on your hip or straight in the air or out.

" " means either leg or arm. I hope I helped!! A little crazy, but I tried!
