Backhandspring help???

Question

help me.. every time i do a standing back handspring or even a round off back handspring i can't help but open my legs.. i want them to look perfect.. does anybody know the reason for this?

Answer 1

This is your body's self preservation reaction to a very unnatural motion, it is perfectly natural. KEEP PRACTICING and you will be able to overcome it!

Best wishes!

Answer 2

i had the same problem too

i think the reason why you keep opening your legs is because you want to go faster on your back handspring

it will soon go away as it did to me

just try to stay tight at all times
