I just got my back handspring yesterday after 3 years of trying. If you're reading this and you don't have it, DONT GIVE UP! I promise the feeling will be worth it once you get it! I worked hard and now can do it. Promise yourself you will do it, and practice every day. You can do it, I believe in you!

[@annachaimusic]

Courtko same! It was purely fear.

[@parisserenazozo4265]

I got mine less then 20 mintes😂 I just went for it 😂😂😂

[@fabulous_gamergurl9300]

[@Itsmesam99]

[@rachellinaaa]

My fear is jumping back with not enough power and landing straight on my back 😂😂

[@lindseymccrossan6835]

Same it's sucks... Especially when your parents and coaches force you to do them and you just stand there so when you go home you cry in your room.

[@feijra]

+rachelalex3 and +Simply Lindsey try some rides. Rides are when you jump back from the same way you would for a Back Handspring but on a couch, soft mat, etc. They worked for me but I don't know if they would help you. It's just a suggestion :)

[@keishahawkins7558]

[@iamdoge6567]

Mine is landing on my neck

[@ianlazarus_]

+GlitterKitties XO 456 I got my back handspring today it was awesome of you have a trampoline try practicing on there and also you cannot land on your neck during a back handspring it had never happend and it also takes confidence and btw I got mine without a spot just my trampoline

[@themysteriesofkaitlynlaffe5666]

My fear is my hands not being strong enough and falling on my neck

[@lilymcgarty8132]

[@oreoplayz594]

You dont have to be strong. But you have to know dont just fall down bend your back dont just lay dont that way you might fall on your neck and use ur arms you dont have to be strong but you have to land with your arms and push back up

[@nedtaggart9987]

A backhand spring isn’t something to afraid of about falling on your neck, it is a quick and simple move. But I used to feel like that. Try not to worry about that dude

pigmie Thanks but not sure whether I can get the guts to train back handspring still. I'll try you half back flip from bridge.

[@emmao1232]

I can already do all of these. I am now where near my back hand spring.

[@jayjay53313]

Preteen beauty queen good for you, how nice. I'm still struggling with this, need to train further.

[@emmaschilz8818]

This helped me because I'm planning when I get out of school for summer to run out the front doors and run onto the grass and go straight into a round off back hand spring

[@emmabotts6345]

[@notwop9555]

I can do a backflip on a trampoline but I ain’t flexible so it’s hard as hell

[@knifue7841]

When you do it no matter what you do don’t bend them

[@trinityhodges1642]

Hello Holland me to

[@poopieyoutube5460]

Mee too!

[@AJ-os1pq]

I have my bhs, I just like can’t do it. Ever since I’ve gotten the skill officially, I’ve just gotten less and less confident. I don’t even know what my fear is. I know I won’t get hurt, and I used to do the skill all the time easily. My coach gets annoyed every time I can’t do it and I need help! Every time I lean back and then I just fucking CAN’T!

[@haya4981]

I relate so much!! I have the skill nailed down but its just the first time I did it I was so confident after a couple months I eventually got so scared I dont know what to do which is what brought me here :(

[@Psychotic_Sam]

I feel like I'm gonna land on my head

[@ryujirosan1262]

I got a fear of snapping my neck o-o

[@nathaliadiaz8459]

Reno Dorvay oh my god same

[@emilyfossmorgan1103]

Reno Dorvay sameee

[@anassyria5176]

The only time I had the courage to try it, I landed on the back of my neck.. weirdly it didn't even hurt, but since then my feаr grew worse lol

[@miguelor101]

Reno Dorvay i landed on my neck it dosent hurt that much lol i landed twice on it and it dosent hurt lol

[@alexispearce6652]

SAME!!!

[@simnettnutrition7667]

Really great tutorial! This is my goal this summer. Thanks for the great content! Checking out your other vids now.

[@cosmic_nancite]

Really appreciate this video man, I am currently working on my back handspring and it is a bit difficult for me, but I'll keep on practicing!

[@FocusedLucas]

What up everyone this is 2016! be sure to subscribe! I've got tons of NEW content TUTORIALS and PROGRESSION videos out and being produced!

[@mitchellmarchment7757]

Your so good at tumbling and you inspire a lot of people please replyyy

[@gmcmim1]

I can already do back hand springs and I am still watching your videos because I like the way you explain things and your personality. What is your zodiac sign?

[@NomanAhmedTalks]

please reply how many time it takes to you to learn a backhandspring ?

[@gmcmim1]

Nouman Street Stunts practice on beds or big trampolines first. in case you mess up you are on something bouncy. there is no amount of practiced flips a person can learn a back hand spring before they do it on ground. Just practice until you get it right on the bed or trampoline and then when you feel good enough to do it on ground go for it. When you start on ground start in the grass, not the concrete. in case you mess up. good luck.

[@gmcmim1]

you have a bed, right?

[@jaffep]

This advice is very accurate, great vid pigmie! People are always trying to go around the fear only by doing some other movement that is similar to the one they try to learn, but it's all about creating confidence! (and there are many ways to build that)

[@kyliejay3723]

Just to tell you the backward roll to handstand is also called a back extension roll. I have been doing gymnastics since i was 3 and am just now getting over my fear of a back handspring because of this video. Thank you!

[@sabrinablalock3236]

This really helped me, and I think that I could do it now!

[@avafiore7111]

Thanks sooooo much. I recently got my backhand spring then lost it. After watching this I got it back and never did it better!! I am so happy! 😁😁

[@lizzimia5479]

thank you for this. I found an adult freestyle class where I can safely practise moves. for me, confidence is very important. this video is great for helping with that. I'm hoping that even though I'm 34 now and not particularly fit, that I can build up towards walkovers and handsprings!

[@aldemar3541]

This may be the most serious I've ever seen him

[@kayajoelle6674]

I've been watching your 5 minute tutorials for years but always watched from my bed lol. But cuz of quarantine i finally got out and in about 10 minutes I got my back handspring with your 5 min vid. It looks pretty bad but i got

[@trystap]

[@aravindthiraviam4676]

You are awesome each and every tip you give helps in overcoming our flaws 🦸💪

[@sabrinaespinoza8379]

I love how he wasn't kidding when he said: "but what if you dont have friends like me? Or you hate spotters, I hate spotters" 😂😂

[@cooki3gurlz5]

What if the spotters won’t catch you??? Lol

[@sarah.burns04]

I have 2 weeks to get a back handspring for cheer tryouts and I’m so stressed 🤣😭

[@fabioviniciusls]

hey pigmie! congratulations for your channel!, its one of the best and one of my favorites! your tutorials and learns its awesome!!

[@AmeliaSkinneroftheyear04]

that sideways jumping tip is genius - thanks so much this rly helped!!

[@gorgon825]

I haven't started training this yet, but for falling back confidence: I recommend learning to bend/fall into a bridge from standing. If you can do that, you will realize how tall you are and get used to bracing on your hands. Oh, P.S. it's also helpful for the front handspring as well if you train your abs by pulling yourself to your feet after.

[@oliviaslater2592]

I can do all of the things in the video, but I still can't do a back handspring!!! 😭😭😭

[@sophiaevans5761]

omg i could hardly do a backhand spring, especially a backflip, and watching this video got me to do both!

[@guiseb7137]

I am scared of doing a back handspring but I can do a backflip😐

[@leoniesimpson2362]

Gui Seb well instead of keeping your hands up put them down and when u flip back go into a squat first

[@bobbybarros7142]

wow you did but i didnt

[@igordragoslav9672]

Same

[@cashedoutdice]

Same😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@informationguru9253]

I thnk backflip is more difficult

[@lostfilezxo]

that walkover thing you said? its called a backbend kickover! :)

[@audfournier144]

It's the same thing😂

[@audfournier144]

Or just a tiny bit different

[@lostfilezxo]

ok! oh and can you please make a video of how to overcome your fears in doing a front handspring because i really need for my 2016 gymnastics competition?

[@audfournier144]

[@kamillahovden2717]

This helped me so so much! Thank you!

[@angelinaarenella8088]

I'm scared that when I go to the back handspring when my arms touch the ground I won't be strong to keep them up

[@VortroxGD]

My fear is landing on my hands then breaking them!! I feel like I can do it but that little thing is bothering me 😂

[@gorgon825]

Thanks a lot for these videos. The internet is full of tutorials, but those are useless until you're confident enough to try things.

[@yyassr30yyassr30]

nice video at first time i was nothing but now im improving i learn a lot from all you videos thnx a lot

[@nailsclaymoviesandmore3694]

i still have a fear so

[@XDupful]

I can't even stand up from the bridge:(

[@celestichearts3841]

Then you're definately not ready.

[@itsissy6850]

Standing up from a bridge is not necessary for a backhandspring believe in your self you can do it!

[@pheonixeagle6638]

XDupful you don't need to know how to because when your in the bridge position you flip over not stand up

[@fruity_fidgets759]

You just need have a back walkover and a bridge kick over

[@paulstern8046]

thank you so much you helped me right after i watched this i did it

[@yOOjisinthefrig]

Helped a whole lot! Thanks!

[@peacebewu]

@3:15 I tried that a while back, it hurt my back is that normal?

[@dannytheawsome124]

Yes it is because your body wasn't really used to it

[@vaeleit1791]

peace bewith u w

[@ksjjdjcifjdjffk]

Why do i always land a bhs with my head????? Any help plz???

[@naranluv1331]

You have to keep your arms behind your ears. If you don't have your arms there, your head is closer to the ground, causing you to fall on your head. Same thing for backbends, back kickovers, etc. Hope this helped :)

[@ksjjdjcifjdjffk]

+Naranluv Thank you!!!! 😁

[@bunni3492]

_its _anunusualname build up your strength in your wrists and arms so then you can keep your strength

[@brileytime9389]

When I was in third grade to fifth grade I had my back handspring and tuck, but one day I was doing a tuck outside on my mat when I freaked out mid air and landed on my shoulder fracturing it. It was very scary and now I’m scared to do both. I’m now going into 7th grade and working on trying to get it back 🙂 if only I didn’t go out side that day 😂

[@Amy-tq2il]

I can do a back handspring on the trampoline but am worried about doing it on the ground because I have bad wrist and scared they will give in. I also have no one to spot me. Any tips? x

[@bathandbodyworks1865]

Don't do it without a spot

[@Amy-tq2il]

+Bath And Body Works ! I might just go for it haha because I've done it and a mat so I'll just do it on the grass x

[@cassielucas4980]

I Would Get A Mattress and these are less softer that a trampoline but still bouncy then Try It On A Mat Or Yoga Mat Then On The Ground Also I Think You Should Have Someone Spot You Or Bribe Them Too😂 Hope I Helped

[@htxflow]

Thanks for this video. It makes perfect sense. I once was able to do front handspring flip when I was a teen. After high school, I got fat. Now at 27, I lost hella weight and yesterday I discovered I'm able to it again after 3 successful attempts. Once I completely master it, I'll move on to the back handspring. Then hopefully tuck.
