I was 12 when I first got my backhandspring... and I was 12 when I got my full. It took me about 7 months to get a full after I learned my bhs. Haha I was a bit of a daredevil but I think my mind caught up with what crazyness I was doing because I'm 15 and can't do full now "/ haha.
 
Hey there!!! I'm wondering...how old were you when you threw your first back handspring? How about your first full, etc? What happened when it finally "clicked" for you? Did anything actually have to happen, or did you just get it one day? I'm just curious! Thanks!

She's 8, she is working on her standing full and double but she's having a growth spurt so the mental blocks are slowing up the progress but she's working thru them just fine. She made a level 5 team this year, just not sure if we are going to do the team or take a break and focus on tumbling yet. She's only been cheering 3 years. I love her, she's extremely talented and I am biased. Lol
 
Uhh a lot of y'all like super super duper talented! I was a slow, really slow, learner.

for those of you who got their bhs at an older age, about how long did it take you to get it? because i'm 15 and starting tumbling in a week or two and i'm wondering if i'll get it sometime during either football or basketball season.
