All-Star How Old Were You When You Threw Your First Back Handspring? Full?

[WHOA tiger]

Backhandspring-14
Full-15

As soon as my backhandspring clicked, I got a tuck the next day and a full within a year.

 

[Weezy]

My daughter got her backhandspring at 11 and full at 13.

22 and 27 - working on and off on BHS and getting injured each time

I'm now 28 and just started working drills to get a tuck. Going to actually try for the first time with a spot it this week.

I just keep hoping, it's not too late. I just want that tuck, not aiming for anything higher.

I mastered a cartwheel and backbend around age 10, and that was the extent of it for me!

lol.

My daughter:
bhs - standing/running series, age - 7
standing tuck/running tuck, age - 7/8
Layout age -9
Full age-10/11
standing 2 full/one to full age -12/13
*she has had a mental block with fulls on and off since age 10 - she started throwing fulls consistently again at age 13* She is 15 now, and still will struggle slightly if she is not fully focused and confident*

Back hand spring - second grade (7 or 8)
Didn't work anything else til 5th grade(10 or 11)
Running tuck - 5th grade (10 or 11)
Running BHS tuck - 6th grade (11)
Layout - 7th grade (12)
Standing tuck - 8th grade(I still have bad days on rare occasion due to groin injury and just can't do it)
I didn't start working fulls for awhile.
I started really working fulls towards the end of 8th grade(14)
Had my full, just always made my coach stand there, but had it when I was 15.
I just turned 16 and started tumbling again(tore my groin recently), and will hopefully be throwing my full soon!
