How Hard Is Perform A Backhandspring Without Impulse?

[Dan89]

Do it requires some serious power to perform a backhandstring from a stanging body like this at 1:58?

What do you mean standing....because I saw her sit and jump back like every bhs I've ever done.


Anyway. Brit Brits ability to do a backhandspring is what helped me get over my mental block of bhs.


Slay a bit Britney....

It's not hard - once someone really learns the proper technique of a backhandspring, they can do them anywhere w/ no prep motions. My CP can throw one pretty much anywhere - on concrete, in shoes, on a balance beam - and she's not uber powerful.

Props to Britney though. If this is from a recent show, she's over 30 and a mom of two throwing one in a dress and some pretty heavy looking combat boots. You go girl! Love that song too.

That video is from 1999. She was born in 1981. She wasn't 20 and it was pre-kids. Props for the boots though!

Does she still have her Vegas show? I saw a documentary on it a few years ago. Wondered if it was from that. I saw her in her Circus tour concert (which I know was after all the Kevin Federline craziness) and I remember her doing a very impressive bow and arrow move to "piece of me" - like her leg was to her ear - she had amazing flexibility for someone who's had 2 kids.

I meant she jumped without loading so much, without impulse

For sure she does

It not necessary so much strong arms or core strength to the impulsion?
