How do you do a backhand spring?

Answer 1

To do a backhand spring, it is very important that your legs, ankles, feet, arms, wrist, back and neck are stretched out, so you aren't stiff or anything like that when you go to do your backhand spring.

To do a backhand spring, start standing up straight with your shoulders stretched, and your arms up. Then lean back like your are sitting in a chair with your knees lined up with your ankles and your arms going out in front of you. Then as you lean back some more so your back is lined up with your waste, bring your arms back above your head. Then jump and bring your arms to te ground as your legs go up and land in a handstand, with your legs behind you and your toes pointed. If yo are beginning, just bring your legs down. If you are used to it, try and spring your legs up.and land in a standing position.

You're probably a beginner since you're looking up this question. If so, I recommend you get a spotter so you don't break your back, neck etc. That can easily happen when you're a beginner because you probably not do the positions right, which will cause your back to jerk if it is to fast for you, and You might fall and break either your back or neck. If you are a beginner and can't find a spotter, please don't do it anyways. Just wait until you have someone to spot you. Then when you have a spotter, Make him/her keep you in the positions for a little bit so your body can get used to them. As you get used to it, go faster and when you are ready, try going by yourself. And try your best, if it doesn't work keep trying. And eventually you will do it.

However, Do not do this on, cement, grass, dirt, rock, pavement etc. Make sure you are on mats or a trampoline. And if you are used to it, you can try on beams. If you are new to this, don't try it on beams unless you get good at it.

Remember to be safe as you do this and

follow these directions!

I think that you should look in my other page " What is the secret to doing a back handspring?" It teaches you how to do a back handspring from home without going through the trouble of finding a club. You can write on my message board, if you want! Just remember, you can ask me absolutely ANYTHING about cheer leading or gymnastics. My user is cheerjulia so obviously, my name is Julia and I'm a cheerleader and gymnast!
