[BrandyDanekid]

[loveliferiss]

[madialexandra]

[horselover00100]

[mccooler12]

[TheLailaqueen]

@mccooler12 exactly im soo scared to do it lol

[TheEMONESS10]

I prefer frog ones :)

[Treyshon00]

I have always been scared to try a back handspring because i was afraid of hurting myself. i guess because i haven't thought about the actual TECHNIQUE of the flip.

BUT...after watching this video i tried and actually did it ! ! Thanks a lot !

[MrChangCJ]

watch his mic fly off at 1:07 ...

[number9711]

[jbawesome11]

i love tumbling i wanna do it :(

[clarky202]

That didnt help, what so ever :(

[0XScourgeX0]

lol, That white thing from his shirt fell of.

[NessieBlack09]

the part that im scared of is the jumping backwards! im afraid im going to kill myself! but if i can get to the handstand with out falling then i don't think that i would be scared anymore, cause thats the easy part, going down to your feet from the handstand(: . another problem is i dont have a mat, spotter, or gym to do this at:/

[ShamiahDavis12]

@NessieBlack09 me either im in ur situation

[YOYOYOYOZ123]

@NessieBlack09 the same thing and i broke my hand before

[brolon51]

@NessieBlack09 me to

[TheDslide]

@NessieBlack09 me too just take your bed !

[DXD901]

@NessieBlack09 Ezy back handsprings easier than backflip

mostly think about the handspring

if, no mat,spotter or gym, try getting to loafs of bed matresses on each other and practice

[DXD901]

@NessieBlack09 you wont calm down and take a chill pill

[Jenivera]

Yea i started doing the frog. Lol i dont have the should strength to push and rebound after. XD

[0XScourgeX0]

@Jenivera you don't need strength, you need speed.

[childwhathaveyoudone]

this is REALLY good!

thank you.

[MegaGh2000]

im only scared of falling on my back that's why i can't do it

[Xenn000]

Must... try it... but too afraid! My neck screams when I think about it.

[rawr5983]

Haha when i try to do this i'm scared i'm going to brake my neck and die O_o

[PERfECtlYxsCReWd]

[freeflowingparkour]

[blower05]

[SIMMONATOR96]

[MissSmilesxox]

[Pumpkinpie6468]

[TheRainMayBeBlue]

@keithtuber theres a point. thats like saying why do people that want to be movie stars watch tv. its natural to be scard.. and curious.Why are you a dream crusher? :(

[TheRainMayBeBlue]

i want to learn how to do this sooo bad! but like i dont have the faith to jump back by myself. :/ i know if i could do it once i could do it again and again.

[xpeacexlOvexx3]

@TheRainMayBeBlue i fell 100% exactly the sameee.

[TheRainMayBeBlue]

@xpeacexlOvexx3 Ha, Someone that understands :)

[hannahmm10]

omg i am soo scared i have a feeling that i might break a bone or something like that 0.0

[Misteryman94]

I thought the point of a good Handspring was to land in the same position.... not go backwards...

[mountaindewrocks104]

@Misteryman94 yes in tae kwon do and most karate based programs a back handspring is meant to stay in one place. but in cheerleading and gymnastics actually your supposed to go as far back as possible. in cheerleading your supposed to stay in the same position when doing a back tuck. :)

[ohjeezmorganbaby]

hahahaha, i broke my elbow doing this(:

i finaly got the hang of it noww(:

[mlbm13]

NO PAIN NO GAIN :)

[anc0408]

[domain2009]

[scullyos]

[bambiibabiee33]

cant like anyone do that you just cant be acared to do it

[TheClayboy123]

he looks so much like my tennis coach!!!

[fritscha1]

He's hott ;))

[Gymfreq369]

They are easy if you learn with a coach.

[jrm0103]

something went out of you poket or something on the 2nd back-handspring

[aphro181990]

ohhhh his hot.......

[katieschannel]

When do you know you're ready to try your first back handspring (and actually succeed)? Do you need to be able to arch your back quite a bit? What are the important requirements for a back handspring?

[MaddyStorme]

yeah, like for me my coaches always tell me to arch more. you have to have pretty strong shoulders too. but theyre not too hard

[mlbm13]

@katieschannel to prevent injuries, keep ur arms straight and near ur ears like he said in the video and u wont break ur neck or elbows,

so if u do it wrong, but have ur arms straight u wont injure ur spine or anything just maybe ur knees or feet ..or legs idk

[sikora4prez]

ive taking a flip flop class for 7 weeks and have been making very little progress. my coach said i dont lean back far enough. can anyone help please???

[edwarddurazo]

i learned how to do that in 2 weeks perfect...

[breakers92]

good 4 u...

but how u do that??

i loved to learn but i'm scared..

how can u beat ur fear??

[MaddyStorme]

I was really afraid to do these for the longest time, i just started by doing them on a trampoline, and then once i felt comfortable there i got spotted on the floor and then once i felt comfortable with that i did them myself :)

[Gymfreq369]

All you have to do is just go for it. I know its not that easy, im a gymnast. All I do is not think abut it. Don't think of how to do the flip, just try it. Once you have it down (even if it is in bad form) then you start thinking about having straight legs and arms. You should first just get the hang of jumping backwards and getting over to the ground. You could always strart gymnastics and learn though.

[bharatsermal]

but there is a risk of injury

there can be a case that somebody can fall at 90 degree or anywhere around with head down and can paralyse his body it has happened in pro wrestling to a wrestler named hayabusa.

dont believe me type in search box and see the video on youtube itself

[candy020924]

omg can you really learn how to do a handspring just like that? cuz ive been wanting to learn how to do those kinds of things but i dnt know how to start

[Guesswhoz123]

thats amazingly cool!

how can you do it without hurting yourslef?

[5024914]

he is cute :P and yeah thats hard i don't want to break my neck

[xXBrutalBreakdownXx]

I wants to try but im too scared lol

[XairsoftsniperX]

i know what your talking about

[ContractorHei]

I think all you guys are forgetting "No pain no gain". You can't seriously expect too not get hurt can you? I mean come on.

This took me ages to get btw, well..

Making it look good and not sloppy, twisted my wrist a couple of times. Awesome Tuts btw, I prefer this dude to the other people.

[tankkimaagi]

[nataliaandnick14]

"frog back handsprings" piss me off so much!

[KelliColeStudios]

What video goes to this? He said something about 'what we did before'? what video was that in?

[MAndre2414]

Okay; so im a 16 year old male, and i haven't taken gymnastics my entire life. However, i have had a trampoline since i was around 7, and can do almost everything on the trampoline such as a back tuck, a front tuck, a back handspring, a front handspring, an aerial etc. On the ground, i can only do a front handspring though. Can anyone tell me if 16 is too late to start gymnastics, in my situation? Thank you :)

[differentperson0102]

It's never too late to start gymnastics but guys wont do aerials lol. So you can start any time, usually some gym places fit you with people in your age group for classes.

[OoOAngCatOoO]

Wow!Really good.I need to work on mine.

[studioenoadotcom]

Try putting a piece of foam between your ankles. The goal is to squeeze so it doesn't come out. You can also use a frisbee or something like that between your thighs. Anything that will make u squeeze ur legs together. Hope that helps.

[chuckscooter4lyf]

lol

[lozeee]

you make it look so easy :)

[tyrope]

i have weak wrists, but i want to start gymnastics and learn the back hand spring so much, any tips for building wrist strength?

im really skinny and im 14 :(

i may be starting to late, but that wont stop me from learning :)

[elliotsavestheday]

weak wrists really shouldn't hurt you from gymnastics, mostly because in a handspring what collapses are typically your elbows. however, before you tumble, make sure you stretch your wrists very well, and you might end up with sore joints for a while

[tyrope]

Know any good wrist stretches cuz mine dont seem to work. I usually rotate them clockwise, then counter-clockwise about 4-5 times

[elliotsavestheday]

if you go on your hands and knees, place your hands on the ground and lean backward and forward on them for a few seconds. then put the back of your hands on the ground and again lean on them a few times. you can switch your hands into different positions ( fingers pointed outward, inward, palms down, palms up) to further stretch. if you want any more help, just send me a message and I'll be glad to help. =)

[tyrope]

Im more of visual learner, can u send me the link of a video of someone stretching thier wrists like this. Doesn't have to be on youtube, as long as u find one :)

[MisanthropistPro]

Also, when you have your elbows out like around 1:30, it puts more weight on your wrists and elbows, which really hurts. =\

[CrazyShiiba]

Same - I've Broken My Nose 4 Times. And Others :D :L

[leyshaAH]

ok..i've watched this vid around 5 times..n i wanna say...jarred..ur a damn good teacher...
