Back hand spring
Ok well I was in gymnastics when I was 4 and I went till I was 6. Then I basicly taught myself how to do everything like a front handspring, back walkover, etc. The problem is that I want to do a backhand spring. I know I could probably do it Im just too scared to try. I can do a backflip on the trampoline. So how should I start to do one? Like all the steps? Do I need a running start? Can I build it off of a back walk-over?

well i can already do a backhandspring because im in gymnastics.what i did was learn the backhandspring first then the flip but it works the other way around too.all you have to do is be on a trampoline and do what you would do for a backflip except go lower and put yuor hands back.to get you started you can just do backflips and just put your hands back.well , thats about all there is to it you just have to do it a few times even though your scared and sooner or later you should get used to it and you wont be scared anymore.
hope i helped(atleast a little) :)

Okay well i started by going to tumbling and thats where i leanred the basics. this is what works for me; i cant guarantee it will work for you"
start off in a sitting position and you hands by your side
swing ur arms back and then pull them over your head and reach for the ground ( so your in a bridge position)
then flip your feet over
make sure that when you come over; ur back is arched NOT flat lke a table.
im sorry if this was confusing :/
hope i helped (:
Also, how old are you ? if oyu have any bigger or older firends that can do a backhandspring or cheer. maybe they could spot you.. or you could try asking your gym teacher for assistence

A back handspring is a very scary thing to try but the first time is always the hardest. You can build it off of a back walkover but it is a lot different. You don't need a running strat unless you want to do a round-off backhandspring. It is easiest to do on a tumble track or off of a tumble track. Make sure you arch you back when u go back and jump backwards not up. If you need any more specific help let me know.
