How To Get My Toe Touch Backhandspring?

[Cheer=NoFear]

Ok. So today my team and I rehearsed are competition routine, I'm not much of a tumbler but my WHOLE team is choregraphed to throw toe touch backhandsprings during a count. I don't exactly have my backhandspring on the ground by myself. I would really like to get this skill before competition because I really want the whole team to able to showcase it. Any tips on how to improve/practice this skill? I go to tumbling sessions so I'll be able to practice there but what about excersises/drills? I'm NOT inexperienced. : ) Thank you, wish me luck!

first you'd want the backhandspring pretty perfect.. & then work on a tumble track. toe touchs & reaching back as soon as you land for the handspring. after getting it on there use a wedge mat (w/ or w/o spot your choice) then, spot on the floor & then by yourself.
i hope you get it! good luck

Once you get the back handspring by yourself it's pretty easy to add it after any jump combo. Just work really hard on getting a solid back handspring on the floor.

Use as much tumbling equipment you can use at your gym...their tools to help you. Could you come into the gym a little bit earlier to work on them? Or could you take classes (preferably privates)? I would first master a BHS before the toe BHS. Once you get your back HS, work on toe back HS. DON'T RUSH OUT OF YOUR TOE TOUCH RIGHT INTO THE BHS! Trust me lol

Not to freak you out but it took me 4 years after getting my standing bhs to get a jump bhs haha. My only problem was that I was so completely mental about it. You just gotta not let your mind or fear get to you. The way I ended up doing it was I just kept pausing in between the jump and bhs and one day i threw them together without even realizing it. I realized like 10 minutes later that I threw it and was ecstatic. So really once you get your bhs you just gotta go for it and you'll be fine!
