I still don't have it because I'm afraid if I try it on solid ground, my arms will buckle and I'll come down on my head. Can only do it on a trampoline...😕

[@Sarahr98998]

Super helpful...your back handsprings are so pretty!

[@peppanda9585]

I really loved this video! I wish I had this when I was learning my back handspring, it would have helped so much. I need the most improvement on my front handspring, I always land kind of sideways so if you could make a video tutorial about this that would be awesome! Keep on making great videos 💕

[@tonisagichnich7006]

My guess is that you either aren't tight enough in your hips and they keep turning places they aren't supposed to...or you just don't keep your arms parallel, so you don't take them off the ground at the same time but one after the other. That often happens when you think you have not enough speed/power to make the front handspring. Sometimes it's just in your mind, sometimes it really isn't enough power (then you should do some drills that help you with the speed of your feet or the push that you give with your shoulders). I'm hoping you can understand what I'm trying to describe, because when typing it's really difficult and English isn't my mother tongue 😅😶

[@peppanda9585]

Toni Sagichnich Thanks! I’ll try this next time.

[@bluetealturquoise]

I know this is a year later, but how’s your front hand spring doing? And I will suggest thinking about taking your hands off the floor at the same time. Like think it really hard in your mind when you are about to do it.

[@euvdf]

[@siobhangallagher2576]

Hi,I have a problem with my back handspring I don't know if i am afraid to go back but I am going sideways so one of my shoulder is going back before the other one, how do I fix this? 🤔

[@417-f3m]

Siobhan Gallagher I’ve had this problem, try having a spot, first try it IN to the foam pit. then try doing it on the trampoline with a spot

[@siobhangallagher2576]

@@417-f3m OK, thanks

[@melanieg5033]

try spotting directly behind you! I had this problem because I turned my head to one side when going backwards which made me go sideways, so try to look straight back! Good luck :) you got this !!

[@kenny8150]

Hey i just broke the habit of doing something similar! This may not be what you’re doing but to anyone else reading... my problem was one of my legs was stronger than the other so i would push with that one more, making my bhs go to my weaker side, so just make sure you’re pushing equally with both

[@taras9255]

Looking at your hands could also help

[@hiphopgrl82]

THank you so much for making this! I teach acro and I have a number of girls struggling with these things. We are working on all of these common mistakes but I know it helps them to see social media influencers doing a video like this. So...THANK YOU!

[@lilyg8062]

Your backhand spring will be a lot easier to do without getting scared if you break it down into steps so lean, sit, push, snap. Also for your back hand springs being short really focus on pushing through your toes and lifting up your hips

[@shrutivenkatesh7730]

[@raydenmacdonald2921]

Ugh

[@wes-7977]

20 year coach. Great video! A suggestion or clarification regarding #4-double bouncing. I agree feet should not leave the floor in the back swing/ prep. The arms should swing back slightly out and back then forward into the jump in an elliptical motion never stopping completely at the back. Weight should be on the toes at the peak of the back swing before jumping. Athletes double jump many times because they have not learned to circle the arms slightly. In the transition from back to front, they accentuate the peak of the back swing. The shifting of weight in doing the double jump is important, but should be lessoned and accompanied with a circling of the arms so there is no pause. It may look like a simple squat 1 jump 2 but there is a lot more going on. Hope this helps!

[@avarosevlogs2255]

I love your guys youtube channel!!💗 I watch you guys all the time! These videos really do help me because i want to go out for cheer! You guys used to coach me at jacobs gymnastics!

I can do a somersault a handstand a cart weel and a round off that's all.

[@Isla-jh4bw]

This helped me so much to make my back handspring longer

[@MatthewParksPhotography]

For lengthening the short handsprings, I use tape on the mat. Same principle as using objects, but the athlete can put their hands and feet directly onto the tape, instead of having their goal markers next to them. It’s just a bit more tangible for them.

Hi tc2! I absolutely loved this video because I just got my back handspring and lots of these tips applied to me! I am a dancer but I would love for you to do an aerial tip video on how to sway your arms back (one in front and one behind), instead of cutting through "chicken wings" as my teacher would call it and also how to pointe your feet and land softer during the aerial. You inspire me so thanks a lot for teaching me these new tips!

Question how do u fix bent leg backhandsprings?

[@emilysophiechristine]

This is my favorite of Maggie’s hair!!!

[@MatthewParksPhotography]

What is the verdict on closed vs open shoulders going into the handspring? Open was the more common way it was taught, but more and more, I’m seeing it be taught with closed shoulders going in, then opening up as you push off, which is supposed to give more power.
