Back Handspring

You should learn how to post vids. Its not that hard, most phones are youtube capable.

Love how everyone else is telling her what skills she should work on, and you are telling her she should learn to post vids. Made me :D.

I try to make people laugh, or piss them off! Both reactions make me laugh.

Yeah. Is there a problem with that? Can you please stop commenting about video. I don't know how to post them and would appreciate if you would stop. Thank you.

Then your basics aren't perfect. Not trying to be mean or discourage you but not being able to do backbend kickover could mean you don't have the shoulder flexibility needed to get your arms where they need to be for a back handspring. That could be why you find tucks so much easier. My CP is working on BHS now. She has a backbend kickover and back walkover but still struggles a bit with shoulder flexibility in her back handspring. She as the strength to jump high enough for it, but her arms aren't setting quickly enough because of her shoulder flexibility issues. You probably need to get your walkover solid and the BHS will come.

Throwing this one out here. My cp struggles with back walkovers and backbend walkovers but can throw some nasty tumbling skills with BHS combos into tucks, layouts and dub fulls. Not being mean or discouraging just saying what we read is not always the practical way.

You are right that some kids can do these skills out of progression. It isn't unheard of, but when a kid doesn't have the prerequisite skills for a BHS and is really struggling getting that BHS, not having those skills could be part of the problem. Our gym takes progression very seriously. My CP has really struggled with the walkovers and I questioned why she had to get them before working back handsprings. The coaches showed me their info on progressions and the human physiology research that said that having these skills first is safer and puts less stress on the back. If you have the shoulder flexibility, strength, and control to do a back walkover you are much less likely to be overusing your lower back to gain the arch necessary for a BHS. That is what I am going by. There are always exceptions to all of this however and each kid is different.

How? If you can do the walkover, you should be able to stop it in the middle and do the kickover. Have you tried?

As weird as it sounds I'm the same... I can do handsprings, front and back walkovers, but I can't kickover to save my life. :(
