MsMonkeyBean she said more powerful not better which she is right I am a gymnast ik u need a POWERFUL back handspring to continue doing back tucks layouts ect.
This helped me so much. I've been a gymnast for so long and I thought my backhand spring was fine until I watched this video. All of my tumbling passes start with a handspring and you can see how a powerful handspring leads to a powerful tumbling pass. I also found that this works with front handsprings too
Omg OMG. OMG thank you sooo much. I only knew how to do a back handspring with only help, but I could never do it alone. After watching this I went to my park and after 12 tries I got it!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Not even my gymnastics teacher could teach me, thank you!
This helps me alot i just recently got mine & im weak so when i throw my back hand springs i always land on my head & my arm collapse, this helps i feel like half my reason is i throw my head back & other half is i dont get my arm fully to my head
Have you tried using a really thick mat or mattress? Or even a bed? Once you get it on there you can move onto thinner mats with spot and eventually on your own on floor😊
I like when the coach jumping and showing difference between proper and unproper technique! Very informative and helpful video! Thank you a lot for you great work on this video! ;)
meggin i am thanking u because u have helped me a lot i was doing the wimpy jump and then watching u made me jump higher!! but then i would land on my knees and i saw u land and i made it! i watch u videos all the time and i am subscribed to u. i really wanted my backhandspring because most of my friends can do it and now i can too!! thanks
Megan you r such an inspiration to me. Thank you for helping me through out my gymnastics career because of you I look like an awesome gymnast. I really look up to you and thx for all your amazing tips and videos. You are just a plain AWESOME coach and I wish I knew u in real life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Omg! Thank you so much!!! I have been working on my backhandspring for a year now for the longest time I was doing the wimpy jump and not jumping hard enough back and my arms would bend causing me to fall once I jumped hard back I had no bent arms and it was SOO mug easier thank you so much!!
hi Megan this is just a quick thank you , you have helped me through my gymnastics carer I started when I was nine I was a level 4 now I'm ten and I wish I had started way eirlier than I did but when I found your channel I bossted right up , I'm now a level 6 I'm so glad I found you to help without you I wouldn't be the person / mini gymnast I am today . xoxo xoxo
Oh my gosh I am flattered!!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for learning with me Carol Colvin! It means so much! Great job for putting in the hard work and getting to level 6! Keep up the great work and have fun competing! Meggin
I have my backhandspring, but my coaches kept telling me that I need to work on making it longer and not higher (the same as my hurdles). So this really helped, thank you!
This video is so useful. I'm so glad you made it. With my back handspring, I have trouble keeping my arms straight and I always look for videos with tips for that. Thank you so much for making the video!
Thank you so much! First day training today & I actually got my back handspring by myself without sitting into it! Your tips really helped! I got my arms to my ears quicker & jumped back more! I also managed to get my round-off back handspring too! So thank you ever so much! :)
This is perfect! I need help on my back handspring I can't seem to snap my legs and so I land almost on my knees! If you could make a video on this that would be awesome!😊
Thanks sm! I really want to try out for competitive cheer-and I know I'm striving for level 4 (layout, standing tuck, and 1,2,&3 to backtuck) but I'm having so many issues with backhandsprings to tuck so hopefully this will improve them!
Practise it lots on a soft surface like a mat, then go onto the grass and do it, but with someone spotting you. Then tell them to help you less and less, until there aren't helping at all, and you can do it. That worked for me!
Does anybody have any tips for me? I just got into cheerleading and I've been a gymnast for a few years but I can't seem to make my backhandspring strong. I can't keep my legs straight and together. What should I do even after I've practiced???
Katherine Riley, a way to have your back handspring strong, is to practice a back arabian, or a back Iimber, while slowly inching your feet closer and closer each time you do one. It helped me a lot.
this video helped me alot with my backhandsprings I only got my backhandspring yesturday but every one says it looks like I could do it months ago because of this video Thanks☺😊😀💜
Thank you Meggin! It turns out my name is Megan to! haha. Thankyou for this video, it helped me alot!! You're the best!! Please do more tutorials, you're going to get viral!!xx
I love coach meggin videos. I just learned my standing backhandspring the other day and I have had my round off backhandspring for a while. The problem is that I undercut it and then I have bent legs so I hope your distance and stretching backwards will help. Thanks so much and please make more videos!!!
So basically what I'm saying is just go for the gold and try it and if you are too scared to do it alone on the sofa then get someone to help you! And once you have it you won't be able to stop! But even if it looks good when you have it keep practising too make it so much better and try to have a really strong rebound after it! Then you can connect it to thing like round off backhand springs! Go for the gold and don't be afraid
Put something in between your legs when you do your back handsprings, it’s squeezes your legs together which naturally straightens them a little bit :)
Hey guys this is a quick tip! I have been soo scared to do a back handspring and today I was determined to do it on my coach! It's still needs improving hence why I'm watching this video and the best thing is I had never tried it before not even with someone helping but it's so much easier on a sofa or trampoline that all my fear went away and I just did it!
I try so hard with my backhand spring, but I look exactly how you showed how not to do it, but my wrist hurt sooo much, and i just give up everytime. My coah encourages me alot but I don't know how to make it better, but I'm definitely going to try these tecniques
Yay!! You were right ;] My back handspring was to slow ;P Now I can do it :D It isn't perfectly already but now I need to practice, practice and again practice ;] Thanks a lot and have a nice life xP

All of my tumbling passes start with a handspring and you can see how a powerful handspring leads to a powerful tumbling pass. I also found that this works with front handsprings too
When she said “don’t do a skimpy jump” and demonstrated .... yeah that’s mine
omg thank you for all
Omg OMG. OMG thank you sooo much. I only knew how to do a back handspring with only help, but I could never do it alone. After watching this I went to my park and after 12 tries I got it!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Not even my gymnastics teacher could teach me, thank you!

You have no idea how much this helped my back handspring thank you so much!!😊😊
I am having trouble. I can do it perfectly on the trampoline , but when I get to the ground I just freak out. I don't know what to do. HELP PLEASE!
Have you tried using a really thick mat or mattress? Or even a bed? Once you get it on there you can move onto thinner mats with spot and eventually on your own on floor😊
Carley W do it on bed
Carley W
Carley W try going to a open gym/gymnastics classes or cheer and get someone spot you till your comfortable and do it on your own
Get a panel mat or crash mat and just throw it. That's what I did and I have it now
Thank you for teaching me, now I can improve my back handspring :)
She's so good at it when she shows u a fail one it's still looks good

Does anybody have any tips for me? I just got into cheerleading and I've been a gymnast for a few years but I can't seem to make my backhandspring strong. I can't keep my legs straight and together. What should I do even after I've practiced???
Katherine Riley toKeep your legs together squish a water bottle between your legs then and try and keep it there
Katherine Riley if you can try this on a trampoline all you do it put your legs together and imagine your legs are tied together
Katherine Riley, a way to have your back handspring strong, is to practice a back arabian, or a back Iimber, while slowly inching your feet closer and closer each time you do one. It helped me a lot.
Katherine Coffin to improve to keep your legs together: throw on shoes and tie shoe strings together
At our gym, we put rolled up shirts inbetween out thighs and of we drop them 10 push ups
Thank you Meggin all I need to do is look at my hands and i'm good!
your tips works on trampolines!!!! omg you are so helpful
Thankyou Meggin I hope this will help with my flailing arms and going side ways
this video helped me alot with my backhandsprings I only got my backhandspring yesturday but every one says it looks like I could do it months ago because of this video Thanks☺😊😀💜

this helped a lot my back handspring is really sloppy and now I know how to perfect it
Tysm! You're so helpful!! I think this helped A LOT when I was learning to do a back handspring! 😃
how d o you get straight legs
So basically what I'm saying is just go for the gold and try it and if you are too scared to do it alone on the sofa then get someone to help you! And once you have it you won't be able to stop! But even if it looks good when you have it keep practising too make it so much better and try to have a really strong rebound after it! Then you can connect it to thing like round off backhand springs! Go for the gold and don't be afraid
slightly more powerful? girl you are going to fly away!! hahah your so good !! thanks
That really helped my back handspring!!
My knees are bent, Meggin howwwww do I fix them?!?
Try and get a spotter. That helped me a lot 😊
Put something in between your legs when you do your back handsprings, it’s squeezes your legs together which naturally straightens them a little bit :)
OMG YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH
