Cheer help
I read about you being in cheerleading :]
anyways I am on the JV squad at my high school, and we are currently learning how to get our back handsprings down good without a spot. I can do mine on the trampoline and ground with a spot, but sometimes I land on my knees or my legs don't stay straight the whole time. Any advice on making it better..or just any advice about back handsprings in general? Thanks! I'm 15 by the way :]

I know tons about cheer, but not so much about tumbling ;)
I'm working on my back handsprings as well. Physically I can do it, but I get mental blocks when I know my spotter isn't there. It's strange? =
It sounds to me like you are under rotating. The best thing I can tell you is to make sure your technique is correct.
Get in the sitting position, hands up, and jump straight back, not up. At the gymnastics class I go to, they make us lay on the floor with our arms up, and they mark with chalk where our fingertips are, and where our feet are. Start your back handspring where you're feet were marked, and aim to end where your fingertips were.
Hope that helped some =]
