To do a perfect back handspring takes at least a year of practice. Your must strengthen your muscles first. Do GREAT, LOW push-ups every day for about three months. After this, choose a spotter or someone you trust to catch you to spot you for a back handspring. To warm up try handstands and snap your legs down. Also, try back bend kick-overs or back walkers. These are key to help you progress. To do a back handspring, you must pass the following elements:

Back bends
Handstands
10 perfect push-ups in 25 seconds
Possibly a back walkover

Now here are some things to remember:

Arch your body
Make your back handspring stretch, but not too much
Make your hands flat
Snap your legs over as soon as your hands touch the ground
REMEMBER, head over heels

With these tips and a spotter, you are guarunteed to do a perfect back handspring!
