[fatemah4444]

what do i do if i dont have a log roll , steal one

[Musiclover1494]

Ah man, and I just sold my log roll last week.

[laha456]

i use the edge of bed or the couch to help but im still in process of learning

[Bazinge]

log roll? more like toilet roll!

[aimeeelouisa]

I'll just nip out and get my log roll from the shed. I always keep one there just for times like these.

[daijhane]

"open your legs please . ."

LOL! great vid but i just had to laugh at that part lol

[PINKDIAMONDxx]

ok fair anough to man up and learn but i broke ma toe a wee while ago and every time i try to do it my toe gets wacked off the floor and its f%$*in sore but if i had a log roll id be able to do it wiv out a sore toe u dum shit's lol !!!!!!!!!! <3

[adoorableknobs]

@PINKDIAMONDxx wtf did that say? ...

[LauraaCheerExtreme]

this really help in no way.

[21peepole21]

ATTENTION COMPLAINERS! Log rolls are not needed for this. Seriously. Just learn a backbend. (log roll not needed) And the a kickover from the bridge position. (Log roll still not needed) Then put it together. All you need is a spotter that knows how to spot and can support your weight. (needed if you won't just man up and do it yourself)

[mojpog78]

oh yes most of us have a nice little log roll in our houses LOL.!

if not just pop down 2 tescoz were they havbe sum lol.!not!lol.

[21peepole21]

@mojpog78 You don't need a log roll! They don't use one at my gymnastics to teach us!

[luvzvball]

idiotic



[EpicCollaboration]

0:26 LOL, "open your legs please" 

[hyperfreak29]

DUMB!!!!!!!!

[gymnasticslevel5sjc]

We all have logs in our houses to help us. This helped so much. Thank you. (sarcasm)

[MegaChearleader]

very nice girl!!!!!!! WHO EVER VIEWS THS COMMENT FOR EXPERTVILLAGE PLZ TELL THEM THAT!!!!!

[ambieballerina527]

lmao. EPIC FAIL

[imawesome529]

what do we do if we DONT have a log roll? ever think about that?

[theloudgab]

i watched this video before around 8 months ago and it was really a how to video but now i think they made it shorter and it isnt a how to video anymore

[RyaBadia98]

this is the wrost video i have ever seen u didnt even explain anything!

[pinkyjt123]

the expert village gymnastics videos are helpful :)

[toontown13579]

im working on gymnastics in gym! its very easy! and its my favorite move!

[watchacomera14]

what if i don't have that cylinder thingy at home? stupid.

[TheLightbulb1985]

@watchacomera14

We never had that. Do a bridge with your feet close to the wall and then climb the wall and flip. Try touching the wall as little as you can,what i mean to say push more walk less. Good luck! :)

[watchacomera14]

Thanks :D

[mustlovejumping3]

try doing a bridge with your feet facing toward a wall and then walk your feet up the wall until you can push yourself over. or you can try going into a bridge with your feet up on a couch or high cushion and pushing yourself off from there. sippydip has some good tutorials too :]

[l3ambiii]

'open your legs please' LOL

[NiaAndAmyHowTo]

i know eww

[maxpayne2k3]

Rofle

[TTTAAAHHHLLLIII]

i don't do gymnastics or anything like that but it is cool trying stuff like this

[glowinthedarkpompoms]

yes

i can do this with my eyes closed to

all it take is

closing you eyes

and listening to the audio of this video

no one care how well anyone does anything

if you dont have a video about it, its your word against visual proof!

[paramore1277]

i can do this with my eyes closed

[HPung1634]

i can do this and i dont do gymnastics

[6665256]

im scared im gonna collapse while go over and land on my neck and hurt myself

:( and i have nationals soon i cant be injured for but we are doing a dance at the end of the year with this sort of stuff in it whch i would love to do? an ideas??

[BestFriendsForever87]

ok this is stupid ! how can anyone at home learn anything from this ?! do you really think that everyone at home has a log roll ??

[Gymnast1709]

oh sure, don't you know? anyone whose anyone has a log roll at their house! LOL

[zildiangemrocks]

hey is there any substitute for the log roll?

[KelliColeStudios]

An exercise ball is great too

[thesmileefacee]

hmm im going to try that

[princessiero2]

that sounds dangerous!

[deniafabulous]

i actually taught myself, of course it took about a year but i got it. this didn't really help me. if you really wanna learn how to do a backwalkover/ kick over start practing on the wall and then on a couch. that how i learned and i'm doing them great!

[6665256]

how do you do them on a wall :S

[princessiero2]

I do mine off a door, and sometimes I crash into my computer and make a big noise =D

[YhooWhoo]

Nice

[babyblue9482033]

hmmm i learned to do a back walkover by first walking my hands down a wall, to get comfortable with the bending and then using a wedge matt to fall back on to, then actually doing the full walk over. that roll thing seems like a lazy tool for someont who doesnt want to spot a gymnast.

[iluvellingson]

ok if u wanna get better. dont take advice from these ppl. theyre not even doing bridges rite!

[thebackyardlover]

i go 2 country side gymnastics in fayetteville nc.

[HubbaBubba828]

hey i do calisthenics and i dnt mean to be rude or anything but when u do a bcakwards walkover to make is easier go backwards and when your half way bring you leg up so its like a sea saw its so much easier

[piggyprincess09]

but im scared tht if i trya full bkwalkoever i will hurt myself for try a like 1 legged bridge any tips?

[amythest930]

Thank you thank youuu!!!

[MissElliexx98]

i can do1 of those

[DorkyMrDucky]

this trick is sooo easy i learned it in skool wit my friend helping me

[Krystalboo97]

hey i was in Flair gymnastic but in Key West but they closed down... I thinki know you..

But i really miss it alot

Reply Back

[superjeannes]

if you start against a wall you learn how to do it correctly. Ive only been in gymnastics for about two months and I know how to do it good because of the wall.

[SybelleSilverphoenix]

I've also had good progress using a wall:)

[123gjadeg123]

open you legs please :S

[xoashtonxo19]

i cant do the back walkover. err :(

[cryxinfinity]

i can do the bridge, but i can't go over. more often than not, i land on my head. .-.

[cheergirl1216]

Me too! lol

[cryxinfinity]

lol. i'm going to keep trying, though.

[lvlariale]

its easy. trying doing front of a wall. so u push urself with ur legs and go over.

[cryxinfinity]

that's a good idea. i'll have to try that. thank you. ^^

[completelycrazy123]

I do fine when I do the bridge, but when I go to kick over I fall. ha. not cool, I'll NEVER make cheerleading unless I get to some gymnastics classes. grrrr...

[GYMNASTICSGIRL1232]

tips,i fall wen i go back with 1 leg in backwlakover

[coco647]

i have been in gymnastics for 4 years and cannot do that

[lvlariale]

are you kidding meee?... tahts pretty much what i can do and ive never been in gymnastics.. i wanted tho.. too old now. i tried tumbling

[irockthewayiwontto]

i can do a bridge but i cant flip it over itzz kinda hardd

[ssips720]

ive been trying to do this for years...

[SelGom678]

I go to St.Brigid gymnastics and i can do a backwalk over off of a balance beam

[drizzlekidd]

O SHYT!!THEY R MADDDD FLEXIBLE! lol! noooo wayyyyy am i doing that!i cant get the bridge that far.

[princessiero2]

that's not flexible, they're just pushing their shoulders out XD

[Bffl876]

yeah open your legs thats disturbing

[SGGFriends4Ever]

"open your legs please!" xD xD xD

[CuttieKatie1]

huh whats the website

[BunnehLuvi]

Grr i have trouble doing anything that goes backwards. :-(

[uniquechick555]

its okay just keep trying

[kristabellawapa]

i can do the crab but the back part i hard LOL :L

[PrincessSophia13]

i have been trying to get a back bend kickover for like EVER plz tell me if you find a really good video that helps i really want to get it!!

[pbrianaj]

i got this on the first day i tried now im tryin to do a back handspring

[shnazyy]

If you have a trampoline, don't be scared to kick over, it took me like a week to get to were I could just lift up one leg without falling on my head but it didn't hurt because the trampoline caught me, now I can do a back walk over(:

[gymnast407]

i am scared i am gonna fall on my head with one foot in front of the other

[alinakimileonie]

you have to try some times more than I really think you can do it

[moh2o]

shoot, I think I would break my back if I tried that now.

[KcAriaGirl]

it called BACK WALK OVER!

[shnazyy]

a back walk over is when you walk over and go into the bridge all in the same motion.

It IS called a back kick over when you go into a bridge.. then KICK OVER!!

Get it straight(:

much love.

[KcAriaGirl]

um excuse you, no need 4 those remerks. How do u say get it straight then much love. That was a smart ass remark. But watever. Oh and go ahead, u can hav the last word. I dont care, but Im jus sayin.

[jessicaannyoung]

it not hard i do oimpics man god sake SHOW OFFERS!!!!!!

[mileynselenarock]

umm at least i managed to get my feet of the ground but its still hard to go all the way over i cant get my second leg over if anybody can help plzzzzzzzzzz do thx

mileynselenarock

[wolfspirit11]

this lady is an idiot she never lets them do it themselves

[jessxx2OO9]

LMAO

[aistukas123]

i wish i could do back handsprint i can do front handsprint but not back that sucks...and i am trying and i always fall side ways..

[IKilledMe]

Be careful not to throw your shoulders back unevenly. Make sure your body remains square throughout the entire handspring. Also it's key to keep your chin up just a tiny bit and to keep your arms up beside your ears.

[July229]

Really great lesson :D

[nailaa23]

that's the same thing i did. but instead i did it in front of a wall, not a tree. its quite fun, though. i wish i could really do an actual back walkover .. at least.

[apple22jacks]

keep that up and you will be able to i can get backwalk overs on good days because i did that

[MusicanoftheFuture]

Oh come on! What about me then wish I could video my moves but eventhough I once had asma,I eventually learnt to do handstands and even a backward cartwheel from my young reflexes experience.2 feet bhind head can cure back pains.

[MusicanoftheFuture]

[kemmei]

i can do a back walkover like cheating a lil bit, with two legs together. i cant do it with one leg up, why is that so?? ;(

[cheldots]

maybe coz u started tring to do it with both legs so ure used to it.anyways,its ok coz if can do it with 2 legs its gonna be easier for u to do back handspring =D

[courtneycp]

u can almost do a back hand spring

[Quashroom]

i dont have a log roll :|

does that mean im screwed

[mockybokka1]

why do you they make them do tht roll thing when theyre all tucked up

reply please?

[ludicchick000]

To stretch the back muscles. Stretching is important!!!!

[kellyannangioy]

i do gymnasics and its because they need to lossen there muscles otherwise they will have tight muscles.

[garcy800]

the log is 4 beginers duh

[guitargirl2396]

This is sooooooooo stupid!!! It's so wrong! If you do it that way you'll never learn because you are relying on the log and not on your muscles...DUH! Don't pay attention to this video!!!

[ludicchick000]

Listen guitar girl, there's such a thing as muscle memory. These movements are done to get the girl familiar with the motion so that she can develop the rhythm of the movement. That way her muscles can remember the movement. It happens to be very helpful.

[AraRULEZ]

thats wrongg, u need to fall into a bridge and then u only kick over wit one leg at a time. expert my ass

[sakan25]

i know when i do it over the log i collapse cuz its like impossible to do it two legs but wit a spotter and one leg at a time i do it perfectly

[amazingsinger101]

Actually if you were listening the instructor mentioned that they were going to do a Back bend kick over near the end. And plus the video is meant to show progression, not the actual back walkover.

[AcelinnMusic101]

i can do the back bend just not the fliping over part lol i need a lil help wit that part

[sakan25]

same here lol but i can do a front walkover and front handspring and front flip

[dontcare159]

i cant bend that far and i need to know how to get that far! Plus i cant do a split.

[lotrfanbjr]

if anyone can help me pplzz..... i cant figure it out i have been trying forever!!

[orangesodapop011]

oh my gosh people are so dramatic. You think that's hard I'm working on my triple back hnd spring aerial!

[garcy800]

i wish i could do that lol

[aanchiie]

if i'd do that i'd end up at the hospital.

[MistressWe]

I'd really like to learn to do this but I'm afraid to break my head or something else. It would be very usefull to have someone to help you...

[gawjus99]

you will NOT break your neck just be confident just go back into a bridge nd try walking up a wall with your legs it helps !! x

[GymnasticSinger]

y do u have 2 rock n roll my teacher told me but i forgot

[theorginalfaye]

i cant do a walkover but i know have you can practice do a bridge with your feet touching a door then lift your leg up and place it on the door and kick off but get someone to help you get it over! :D hope it works for you

[cartwheelingbambi]

ive been trying SO hard to get it but i cant flip my legs...this doesnt help at all coz no1 can get the equipment ..anyone hear me?

if anyone has any USEFUL help on how to do a back walkover/raised leg that would be helpful

[tomboy1271]

when i was learning how to do a back walkover i couldnt get it so my gymnastics teacher made me go into a back bend and just keep trying to kick her hand and i kept doing it over and over and she kept moving her hand back farther and farther till i finally got over.

u should get a friend to do that for you just keep trying to kick their hand. sorry if it doesnt work for you it worked for me

[pandarox3]

when i learned i just did it on grass XD but if u can find a surface that is kinda leaned it helps. all i remember from learning is to kick one of ur legs and if u kick it far enough ur other leg follows along and u kick over :) im not sure if this will help though :P

[USelvee]

i can't do it either so far, you need practise to develop the right muscles to get you over, i do bridge standing in front of a tree and then i put one leg on the tree which helps me flip over...

[clarinetmaster015818]

lol she keeps telling the older girl to open her legs more...? if the old lady thinks this is so easy lets c her do a standing backhand spring!

[jandkplus8]

I can do a fron walkover, but this ones really hard.

[gawjussbabee]

i taught muself this its not actully that hard

[pichu220]

it's hard to get your legs up

[milesxsmiles]

ive been trying to do this soooo badly for weeks i cant make a bridge by falling backwards from standing1

[tomboy1271]

get a friend to spot you when you go down. you probably cant get it because your a little scared. so when your going back have someone hold your back

[1morehuman]

Does anybody else think she might be getting off on it?

[Gymnast1709]

the log honestly doenst do much, but it helps you get the legist of what you're doing. when i was learning my backhandspring it helped me get over the fear of jumping backwards and knowing how hard i needed to push off..plus it made me aware each time of how to arch my back and stuff

[thisisjazzyjazz]

thats super easy i can do it whenever

[meghan2016]

this is defiantly not beginners

[gymnasticdivas]

hey u have a roll big fat thing we dont so wat if we wanted to learn of it cause there is somfin holding your back wats the point??

[ftmg]

they make it look so easy!

[greendayrocks07]

i don't think the support should be used, cuz then you rely on that instead of using your muscles.

[berberluvspandas2]

lol, I agree with stunninbbegal ;) You really are suppose to keep your knees and ankles together when doing a bridge. It stretches better and it looks alot better, that also what the judges look for if you compete.

[kurenaisama]

LOL I do that at the side of my bed with my sister! XDD

[lizzy203]

This is so easy(:

[stunninbbegal]

i dont think that logs ACTUALLY help that much, you would end up relying on the log for support, when really it is all in your back and shoulder muscels. Also, when they were doing their bridges, when stretching, you are ment to keep ankles and knees together, stretches so much better :) x

[berberluvspandas2]

lol, I agree!

[jennifer78676]

what gym is this

[ziah22497]

how do that help

[moonlight942]

this vid is fucking cook-coo

[ttuuyyuutt]

how does that help? i dont have any of that stuff to help me

[gymshiv]

erm, that's not back walkover, it's a kick over...

[redheadgymnist]

this helps but not if your at home and dont got that stuff

[poetrisha]

whats the internet site called that she said???

[aceprettyme]

I just learned how to kick over and NOT because of this freakin video. Who has a log at home? You are just saying do a bridge. Go over a log. Do a back walkover! NOT HELPING!

[clubihatekikyou]

they are telling you the basics. dont get all snappy, immature much.

[redatee]

there in level 2

im in level 4 and i knew how to co a back hand spring in level 3.

[redatee]

thats not a bridge you have to keep your feet together ang keep your knees straight.

if you want to know how to do a back tuck then go into your bridge and walk in little by little until you get to your hands then jump strieght up and tuck.

[Dmantis]

what lvl are they in ill say 3

[jennifartkeller]

i cant get myself to kick off!!! I can do the back bend but i cant do the part after that!!! does anyone have any advice that can help me??

[ediie92]

Yes, im swedish but I can try to explain. You have to get all your weigh on your sholders, then it will be much easer for you to kick over your legs one at the time. Try to practise with something, like a bench, under your feet at the beginning. Understand?
