Question: How to do a front over!?
It's where you go into a handstand then fall forward into a bridge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's actually not that hard!. If you're scared, though, you should have a spotter!.

All you have to do is kick off onto your hands, but hard enough where you start falling backwards!. Don't get scared, the worst that's going to happen is you're feet might land too hard, and it hurts for a minute, wow, okay, not that bad!.

But, if you get scared after you start falling back, you might twist to the side and hurt your back, so don't do that! Don't get scared! Just do a handstand like normal, only kick a bit harder so you start tilting backward!.

also, when you hit the ground, don't fall so your legs and feet tuck under you and your hands are over your head!. Stay in the bridge!. You have to stay strong or you just collapse!. Eventually, you can learn something called "Tick-Tock" which is where you handstand, bridge, then kick back over to your feet!.

That's kind of hard because it takes lots of strength, so if you want to do that, It's easy to practice against a wall!. Once you're in a bridge, climb with your feet against the wall, then kick so you're back on your feet!. Eventually you can do it without the wall!.

You can also teach yourself to fall back onto your hands into a bridge and kick over that way!.

You can even do a "front handspring" which is the same thing as a front over, just going all the way so you're back on your feet!. It's a "handspring", so there's no stopping!. You have to kick onto your hands and spring yourself back onto your feet (sorta like a front over, just instead of a bridge, you get back onto your feet)!.

A back handspring is the same thing, except backwards!. I find the back handspring a lot easier, and, surprisingly, less scary!

Alright, well, it's more than you asked for, but I hope it helps!.

also, you can go to google!.com and search for things like "how to do a back handspring" and things like WikiHow should come up showing you visuals (pictures) of each step if I wasn't descriptive enough!. And don't do anything without a spotter! It's dangerous without a coach or a spotter at the very least; I'd hate to see anyone hurt!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't!. Fall!.

Front walk over!.

It's a kick over pretty much, and need to have a good bridge and reasonable handstand!.

The best thing to do would be to check out recreational gymnastics classes in your area and they can help you out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
