So branching off the other thread, I was just wonder how long it took everyone to learn their back handspring? I feel like a back handspring is kind of like a hump. A lot of cheerleaders don't make it past that hump. And as someone who struggled with tumbling, nothing is cooler to me than watching an older, senior aged athlete finally throwing a back handspring after years of classes.
I'll start this thread out with a bang. My BHS took me about 3.5 years. Yeah, I win. haha. So don't give up hope all you struggling out there!
I switched instructors and tumbling gyms and was not a consistent tumbling class attendant (shame on me) so that affected me a lot. I began tumbling in 6th grade, threw it alone for the first time in 9th grade, then steadily by myself in 10th. Hooray late bloomers!
