    Back Handspring Help

    I am currently working on roundoff back handsprings and standing back handsprings. My coaches keep telling me that I'm jumping too high and not back enough. Any tips or drills to help me get my back handspring quicker?

    Level 2 Front Handspring

    I've looked for a thread about this but didn't see anything, so sorry if this topic has already been discussed somewhere else! So according to the rules, front handsprings are legal in level 2 running tumbling. Why do you never see them? I understand it takes more out of an athlete and is hard...

    Back Handspring Tips??

    It's my first year of allstar cheer and I've done high school cheer for a couple years before this. In high school cheer we never really had someone coaching us helping us improve our skills, so I've had a back handspring for a year or so, but it's not clean, and doesn't give me a rebound. I'm...

    Back Handspring To Prone - Legal In Level 2?

    Would a back handspring that is "caught" in a prone position be legal in level 2? I was looking at videos of Large Junior 2 on the Wiki from last year and saw Woodlands Elite do this toward the beginning of their routine - I like it but didn't think it would be legal because I'm pretty sure...

    High School Back Handspring Consistency Tips?

    I have a consistency problem when I throw handsprings.. Like I'll do two or three good ones in a row, and then they get really bad.. By bad I mean I forget to block through my shoulders and throw my hips up, or one of the two. I have tried doing them over and over again, but I just end up...

    Level 2 Handspring To Bum

    Would a front handspring landing in the same position as a front sumi to bum would be legal in level 2? Idont see why not given that hand floor contact is maintained through inversion and handsprings are allowed from standing but just want to check :) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
