Back HandSpring.


Question Posted Thursday August 30 2007, 2:30 pm

I'm 16/F and a cheerleader.

I took gymnastics when I was much, much younger and was pretty awesome if I do say so myself. But I quit and lost everything I once had.

I would really love to have my back handspring again, and i've been working with my local gymnastics instructor. (She was the one I had a while back too) The one problem i'm having with my backhandspring is going backwards, but i'm slowly but surely getting over it. I can do it with her spotting me easily, and i'm not struggling or anything.

As an estimate, how long would it take to get it again on my own?

Not Long at all. Have her only grab your shirt. That way you think shes there, but shes really not. And just focus on something infront of you and go and when you come up look at it again. Dont freak yourself out, thats the worse thing to do. Im sure youll have in atleast a month if you keep trying hard. I couldnt do gymnastics for a year bc i tore my ACL, first day back, I got it. If you were able to do it once before, youll be able to do it again!.. <33

When I did dance, well acrobatics, I would sometimes hit these stages and not be able to do a backhandspring because I'd be scared to go backwards. Then a couple weeks later I'd be able to do round off backhandspring back tucks and back ariels..when I was ages 8 to 13. You should be able to do it soon because I've stopped doing dance for 2 years so far and last summer I did a backhandspring for the first time in a year without stretching or anything even with the whole backwards thing. You just have to really focus and just go with it. Doing stuff on trampolines can increase the chance of doing it on the ground again too. Hope I helpppped!
