handspring

Last season, I was on level 4.2 and our coaches didn't really push us to get our back handsprings (or any tumbling skills at all). If you had it, then good, if not, whatever. But now I'm at a different gym and it's my last year cheering and I really want to get it. But, I'm having trouble with...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know how get these really done. I mean my sister and I know how to do the forms and everything and we barely need a spotter, but we're still afraid to do it by ourselves. What I'm basically saying is can you guys give us some tips on not being afraid of doing both...

I've been working at this for too long. I've tried everything- youtube videos, private lessons. I have a back walkover and all my skills, I just don't want to be on level 1 another year. I'm 14 and just started cheering 2 years ago. I have improved a lot since then. I don't know, maybe I just...

how long does it usually take to learn a back handspring?.. My daughter has been at it a couple of months but for some reason cant throw it without a spot.. any tips or ideas?.

Okay so recently (last week) i learnt how to do a back handspring without a spotter. But now i got my friend to video it and i realized that when i jump backwards i jump sideways, so not in a straight line back. Its not that i'm looking over my shoulder is just as i jump, my body moves to the...

There was a question asked in a reply to the "Ask Alton" post in the news forum. Since many of you are probably like me and don't often read those threads since the replies don't appear on the homepage with story, I figured I would share this question with the skills forum so everyone can...

My coach wants to add in some cool one handed tumbling in the dance or something :p My team is level 3 so I need to know is it legal? Or not? Or possibly doesn't even exists in the all star world? Idk.. You tell me :) Or even one footed? aha idk we're just looking for creative ideas :)

I need it by competitive season and I have six months. I am close to getting my back handspring but not my back tuck and round off back handspring. Can I do it? Any tips on how to do it? Besides going to tumbling because I already do that!

I need it so bad!

Why can't you do a front handspring front tuck in level 4? In gymnastics you can do them in level 7 which is equivelent to level 4 in cheer.

I'm subscribed to this channel on Youtube and this came up in my feed. I love the way that he describes it, and as a coach, it is helpful. It is a six part series I think and only the first two parts are up so far.

So, I started gymnastics 3 weeks ago (two days a week!) And I practice BH on a spring board onto a air mat. My coach had me try one on my own yesterday, and i sorta paniced. I had one arm bent, and the other elbow on the ground. Sometimes I can do it, sometimes I can't. Any sugguestions? What I...

Im working on my standing tumbling for level 4 and 5.. I'm a strong running tumbler but I'm all power so standing tumbling is not my thing. I don't get power out of standing back handsprings whatsoever.. What are some drills and tips for back handspring tucks and toe back handspring tucks? There...

So I'm having a problem with my bhs, AGAIN. I have it. I know I do, my tumble coach knows I do, and a month ago I was doing it all by myself without even worrying, it's just something in my mind is still telling me I can't do it. I just got back from my private and I feel like I'm getting worse...

i have two girls on a senior level 2 team that will throw their handsprings by themselves all the time, but will reach the handstand position and just collapse... does anyone have any tips on how i can get them to pull their toes over faster and get their hands off the ground immediately?? oh...

warning- Its 22 minutes long so if you have a short attention span it might not be for you, but after coaching gymnastics and tumbling for 10 years I had a lot to say about this skill... hope you guys like it :]
