Unless you're stressing safety, I swear the easiest way to learn these is to not be afraid. The first way I learn a front handspring was just by trying it. I fell SO many times onto my back but in the end I eventually got it. An important thing I did was that I watched Youtube videos of people doing it a lot and I got an idea of how the body is supposed to move. Next trick I learned was aerial/b-kick. Same as the FHS, I just kept trying until I got it. I was literally flinging myself onto mats for a month until I landed it. After that, I learned the backhandspring, which I got a little better. I learned it in one day by just telling myself to not be afraid of going backwards. A lot of people are physically able to do backtucks and back handspring, but they are afraid of going backwards so mentally they are incapable.

Sorry I can't offer any professional advice :\ You probably shouldn't risk injurying yourself. I suggest you find a gymnastics or tumbling teacher. Good luck.

I'm not really sure how to explain it myself, but go to this site. They have step -by-step directions, tips, and videos about how to do those things. If u r interested in other cheerleadin stunts and tumbling, this site also has that as well. http://cheerwiz.com/cheerleading3.htm. Or just type in www.cheerwiz.com. Hope this helps!
