The fear of going backwards is what you need to overcome... once you do back handsprings days upon days repetitively you will overcome the fear and nut even think twice.. make sure You keep your arms locked out and dont jump straight up .. or straight back.. find a happy medium and have fun but be careful at the same time!
You just need to get over the fear and do it! I'm not a gymnast but I work start with cartwheels and build my confidence until I was sure I could handle a back hand spring. Everyone has fears like this. It's like when I learned tackling in rugby. Pass the ball. Fake tackles. real Tackles. Kick butt!
Yes!!! i had my Friend push me over a bit
Its probely because you not used to doing them and your thinking too much.
Did you fall a few times when you were learning? Well, these memorys might be in the back of your head.
yes, you just need to do more and get comfortable with them. Take a step back and then progress when you are comfortable with the next step and soon enough you will be doing a backhandspring again. Good Luck
Yesterday i learned how to do back Handsprings. I did them all day long. Then today when i tried to do one i was to scared to do them. Has anyone ever had this problem and how did you get over it?
