ok i am a cheerleader to i have been doing it all my life & i think the best way to streach your scorps & heel streaches is up aganst the wall & for your backhandsprings just keep working on it every day & eventually you will get it

oh yay i was waiting for a cheerleading question! =)
back hand springs can take someone forever to get, but once you get one.. then you'll learn to in a roll, then roundoff flipflops, etc. If you have a trampoline, just do alot of tumbling on there so you know the form/what you need to do one before you go on the ground. Just tell yourself you can do it too, because theres nothing worse then negitive attitude, espically in cheerleading. For back walkovers, do brigde ups sometimes just to stretch out your back. And for flipflops, you need your arms strong so you dont bend your arms when your going over (cause you to like fall on your head or have a crappy second half of your flipflop). Do into a handstand then push off with your arms and snap down like you just landed a flipflop, always rebound too! Okay so it looks gay, but rebounds get you ready for back tucks if you plan on doing them.
For scourpians or heal stretches, just be in your bedroom or whereever watching tv, listening to music, whatever you do in spare time.. and just sit on the ground in a strattle postion. Put your hands out as much as you can, then hold that for a few seconds to get stretched. Do this as you lean to your left/right foot. Then keep stretching as your doing the splits. I am sorta flexiable (enough to do healstretches/scourpians) and I just got more flexibility by stretching every more and more to get the splits.
I hope this helped!
