The back handspring is a difficult movement for a beginner, but once you learn the art of a back handspring, it becomes easier. First you need to stretch your arms, back, and legs. Then you'll need a spotter. If you don't have a spotter and your a beginner, please wait until you get a spotter, because it is a proven fact that you can break your back or neck doing a back handspring without a spotter.

Before you start your back handspring, make sure your in a proper position. Start with your feet together and arms up. Your spotter should be holding your back with one hand, and his/her other hand on your thighs. Next, lean back like you are sitting in a chair, knees directly over your legs. Then, jump and push through your toes while your shoulders go down, and push your feet over the top and to a standing position.

Also make sure you can see your hands the whole time. If your at a gym ask if they have any boulders to practice with (just make sure the barrel isn't too small).

It is important you work on pretty solid handstands before you try this so your hands can support your weight, so when you go back you don't land on your head and break your neck. You need to work on a lot of bridges, they will help your body be in the correct stretches and shapes for the back handspring.

And that is how you do a back handspring.
