Backhandpsring?

Question

what can i do to practice when i dont have a spotter?

Answer 1

it helps a lot if you have a trampoline. if not, then you should just go to a class so you dont hurt yourself.

Answer 2

Thank the Lord! Finally, someone who recognizes that you need a spotter for back handsprings! :)

I coach, and I tell my girls to practice:

--fast back walkovers

--handstand blocks: when you are in a handstand, shrug your shoulders; your hands will come off the ground for a split second, and your elbows don't bend.

--handstand snapdown: while in a handstand, keep your legs together and snap down from the handstand, like you are landing a roundoff, snap your legs down and push off the ground with your hands.

I found the website for back handspring drills! Yay! :) Here it is, these are also excellent drills also:
