You have to push yourself to overcome your mental block, as long as theres a spot there you should have complete trust in him or her and just throw it. If you dont have a spot, go over in your head all of the necesary steps in a backhandspring. (Sit like your in a chair, jump up and back, push off your hands, snap your legs over fast) And when you feel like your ready, go on soft grass, or a mat, and just go for it. Good luck!

OR if you decide that you would like to give it anotheR shot, keep pRacticing. Also, you could tRy meditating -- it may sound silly, but if you'Re seRious enough about the spoRt, than something so simple shouldn't be oveRlooked. WhateveR you decide, I wish you the best of luck! Hope I helped!! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
