please help me. please please. Fair is next week. and i have to have it!

Answer 1

dont be scared throw it on a trampoline first so if you fall it doesnt hurt\.Trust me Iv had my share of falls!!!

Answer 2

If you have it, you already know you can do it. Just believe in yourself and get up the nerve to do it. I know it's scary at first, but once you just do it, it seems a lot easier.

Answer 3

I have the same problem and I don't know what to do either. sorry.

Answer 4

Well I have had that problem to have a parent or friend help you and start by doin ga lodon bridge and push your feet back....Don't do it if you think you can't because if you start and you can't do you can get seriously hurt...so have fun and be safe! :)

Answer 5

i can't do it yet, and i haven't tried in a couple weeks cause i twisted my ankle but i would think that running into a roundoff then back handspring would be easier than just from standing position because it gives you more momentum.  it may be scary but just go for it. just make sure there is someone with you while you do it and i would practice on grass with maybe a cushion or old mattess so you don't hurt yourself.  Good Luck!

Answer 6

I had the same problem. I ended up bringing my matress down to the living room (where there is lots of open space) and doing it on there. I had a spotter the first couple of times and then I did them on my own. Next, I did them in the grass and eventually could do them on the court. Good luck! You can do it!

Answer 7

i've been through that. you really cant get over the fear, you just have to find a way around it. just dont even think when your doing it. thats what i did my first time. go hard and strong and fearless.

good luck !
