I am 12 years old gymnast how long will it take me to do a backhandspring??

Question

well i am 12 now and ive been doing gymnastics for a year i can just about do a backwalkover, cant do forward but i was wondering how long do you reacon it will take me to do a backflick/backhandspring?

Answer 1

depends on how much you practice

i go to classes twice a week and have mine on the tumble track

ask your coach if they can spot you or show you how to do it

and its soo much easier if you do it on a trampoline than on the ground

Answer 2

make sure you strengthen up and do push ups and handstands. practice that walkover you got and when doing handstands, practice snapping your feet down. this will help you alot... but you should get your coach to spot you soon cuz you should have been had that!!! :) hope this halps you.

Answer 3

you should be able to do it by now!

Answer 4

depends on how strong you how. im a competetive cheerleader, which means we tumble, and i had my backhand spring within the first 6 months, considering your a gymnast and thats the only thing you focus on, you should have it.

Answer 5

im 11 and i can do it!

Answer 6

dont listen to these gurls ^^^^^ they're wrong. you dont have to know how to do that right now.i am exactly with you but i cant seem to do a back handspring. it seems for all of my friends that they learn around our age or maybe 13. i cant do anything back except a back walkover almost. and back flips and handsprings scare me. lol but best of luck to you
