Question

How can I overcome my trouble with a handspring?

Community Answer

Use a spotter until you are more comfortable with the move. Then do it on a tumble track and practice until you have it down.

You can record yourself and watch the video afterward, or ask someone to watch and let you know how you did.

Question

If I'm a leftie (for my round-off), should I twist to the left? I'm more comfortable twisting to the right, but from the video, lefties twist to the left while righties twist to the right.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with, I am a leftie, and I am more comfortable with the right. Ask your coach to spot you if you want to try the left.

When you see the ceiling start your layout and when you see the floor open up and stop the twist.

Question

When ever I try a back full It doesn't work. All I can do is a back 45 degree. How can I get a better rotation?

Community Answer

Try to set higher, spin faster and twist your hips even faster, so eventually you will get your full twisting layout.

Question

How do I know where to start my twisting from?

Emily

Community Answer

You should start twisting shortly after jumping up to start your layout. I recommend watching videos of it in slow motion to watch the technique.
