ReplyDeletemy roundoff backhandspring tuck is driving me crazy! i used to have it consistently, but one day i randomly stopped throwing it. i won't even throw it with a spot! its now been a year since i have done one on the ground, yet i still have no problem throwing it on the tumble trak or air track. help!!
ReplyDeleteI’m working on my standing back handspring, and roundoff back handspring. I’ve actually done my standing handspring on the floor by myself twice a while back. But now its like I fell down of the top of the mountain, and I’m starting to climb back up. I know I can do it if I practice and workout alot. I only get to tumble at my gym twice a week and the rest of the week I just work out at home. If I’m in 8th now, do you think by the time I go to college I could have my standing back tuck??? I’m so worried its seriously all I think about. Please give me some tips thanks.
