Anyone know how to get over your fear of doing it alone? My coach doesn't spot me, she just has to be there in for me to do it. Icant do it unless she's there
thanks! this is one of the best video ive ever seen about back handsprings. men and women have different technique there, right? because the women go down more before the jump? at least the ones i saw on youtube
@tweetybird234 Thanks for your comments.. I only have 1,172 videos directored by one of the leading gymnastics instructors in the United States Mr. Roberto Pumpido, who gave his life to the sport. Unfortunately he lost his life 2 years ago to a battle with cancer. Anyway this is his legacy and he always told me some people are never satisfied. Anyway, I do appreciate you nice comments.
when doing a backhandspring you should do your best not to lean forward.
also, you should sit back as if you were going to sit in a chair. your knees should NOT be over your feet, as that forces a large arch (also called undercutting) which can be very hard on the wrists.
@mrsbuzzybabe11 any gymnastics gym in your area will have an open gym night once or twice a week. you pay ten bucks and go train in the gym. there may be gymnasts that will teach you specific moves if asked.
In my Back Handspring I keep on jumping way to far back out. I sit in the chair position jump and land but somehow my backhandspring are over a distance of about 1 1/2 meters....... I don#t know how to make them more narrow.....
Now plz don't say JUMP UP because i tried that and it doesn't help.....
@Sims2Lameria I am a gymnast and i learned my BHS without a barrel. Having it behind me only made me nervous so my coach told me not to do it anymore.
i just learn't these on the trampoline one thing for anyone who's scared of jumping GET A SPOTTER preferebly one you know and trust i used my dad totally clueless about gym but hey even though i fell on my head a few times i got the conferdence to finally do them now i can do them by my self on the trampoline there rubbish but i land them! i've got a video of them actually :) there not to bad if you got someone there to help :)
I have the perfect solution for those of you that are afraid. All you have to do is go to the beach that way if you fall it ill be on soft sand I have tried it. : )
@Ashely10183 Same here! If you wanna learn it without posiblying breaking your neck go over your shoulder. Then one day, you will notice you are going straight back : D
@Ashely10183 Hello I Go To A Sports Complex And I Was Scared To Do A Backhand Spring Also But I Kept On Trying And It Worked And Give 100 % Good Luck. :)
i have had minee, people who are trying to get it, i have a LOT of tips. i used my own tips, and i got my roundoff 9 backhandsprings on my own and on the grass. if you want to get it, MESSAGE ME AND I WILL HELP YOU ;) GREAT VID BTW! ;)
it depends who you are, in my opinion back is way easier, your back is not naturally supposed to bend that way , there for your body follows and makes its own momentum and for a front handspring, it is similar, but you have to put just slightly more effort in to it
front is easier to learn purely cos its not as scary, people are far more liekly to just go for it cos you cant really land on your haed or face, backhandspring is easier once mastered as it doesnt require as much effort, you just more likely to hurt yourself doing it, so you've gotta do loads of drill to learn it correctly which slows down the process
Does anyone know who the name of the coach is at 0.17seconds? I saw a video he had on improving flexibility on the internet but I can't remember where it is. I really want to watch it again.
This video helped me but when i first started back handsprings i did a back bend with my feet together just like a back hand spring and then i would snap my feet over! It works if you are just starting
I what way don't you keep your arms locked, not strong enough? Just collapse? don't get your arms there in time? etc... if i know how i may be able to help you =], Good luck!
You need 1/4 skill and 3/4 confidence do to it = ), I can do frount flips and frount hand spring really well, i get to anything backwards and i hessitate lol, Best to learn this move b4 i got to backflip, You self learner or got a gym?
I never talk about age, but I am over 40 and just did My first real backhand springs 2 days ago. I did 7;-) It helps to get over the fear of being upside down... I started Capoeira 2 years ago, so My fear of being upside down is much less than before;-)
I would suggest You start doing hand stands(free and against a wall) and cartwheels. After that learn the Macaco(low Capoeira backhand spring). Then just use a spotter the first times for Your backhand spring. After that, You should be able to do it no problem.
this is a good video, i was in gymnastics when i was younger, i was just starting to get good when i quit, probably one of the worst mistakes of my life, because its too late for me to join now.
man if i could get my hands on a barrel roll haha
Haneen. They ARE called back handsprings. Remember we're from the north east ov england. we have different names 4 everything. germany calls them flick flaks. so my point is proved and tbh i think u should just keep your nasty comment to yourself!
Ya that's my teacher use to do he put his hand in my back and put the other one to the. Feet
