How to do a back hand spring

1

Starting position
To do a roundoff backhandspring make sure you get a good running start (because you start off with none)then run as fast as you can (the faster you go the better the backhand spring)and do a round-off.

Pushing off
Make sure before you jump you are in a standing position with your feet together, your knees together, and your arms by your ears. Put your chin down. Swing your arms down then forward and then go into an elephant position as you begin to lean backwards.

Pushing back
Swing your arms above your head as you extend off the floor with a strong hip thrust using your abdomen and armpit muscles from your legs and feet.

Arching back
Let your legs drive you upward and backward. Point your toes and extend through your ankles. Make sure you keep your head back between your arms while you start to reach for the floor. Start to look for a landing spot on the mat.

Reaching the floor
Keep your body arched as your hands touch the floor or the mat, with your legs and lower body still following. Keep your hands either straight forward or turned in slightly. Spread your fingers a little, keep your feet together, and don't let your knees bend.
6

Coming down
Swing your legs and feet over and snap them down firmly toward the floor. Keep your upper body straight. Do not lock your knees at this point or you will damage them.

Finishing position
Land with your legs slightly bent and swing your arms out straight in front of you.
