Question: How do I do a back handspring!?
I want to learn how to do a back handspring, but I can't get my legs to push back so I can do it!. I made myself a little mat (a mattress with 2 couch cuhsions) and I'm pretty safe, but I just can't get myself to do that with my legs!. Please help!

DETAIL would be AWESOME, and a link to a VIDEO would be awesomer! Thanks, guys!Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, you need to get into a tumbling class because even with mattresses you can break your neck throwing all your weight backwards!.

Here are some drills and videos for learning your back handspring!. Remember, you need to get your jump back, handstand and bridge rock perfected in order to learn how to do this right!. http://aescougarcheer!.com/Cheer101/tumbl!.!.!.
