How can I get my backhand spring by myself AND while being safe?
I really want to get my backhand spring for cheerleading. The only problem is my town is really rual and theres not any cheerleading/gymnastic gyms that are even remotely near where i live. I have my backbend and i can support my weight in a hand stand. I've never actually tried to do one because im afraid of getting hurt. Do you have any tips on getting my backhand spring solo AND safely????
thx a lot!!!

okay, I've been cheering for like 5 years so hopefully this helps...
practice doing a back walkover (backbend and kicking over one leg at a time) and then practice doing them faster and faster... once you're REALLY comfortable doing them, try doing a backbend and then bend your legs and sort of hop(..?) and use both legs at the same time to go over (hopefully that made sense). the best way to start doing your backhandspring is on a trampoline or a very soft cushiony surface, like a bed or a bunch of pillows. gradually get to the point where you're comfortable doing it on the ground WITH A SPOT!!!! if no one knows how to spot you on it, I'm sure you can find YouTube videos on it... you can also look up videos on good technique for your back handspring.
sorry that was so long, but message me if you have ANY more questions!!!
