Trampoline Back Handspring Tricks

Video Transcript

"Now, when you get the back hand spring down, standing near the edge of the springs, and it looks like this, add a straddle jump at the end of it. And of course, when you get really down, add a back flip at the end of it. Something like that. When you really get it down, then you start on the bar, and that's the true test to see if you can get enough bounce while standing on the bar to do the back flip. Wish me luck. You can see it wasn't quite so easy for me, because all of the spring came from my legs and not from the springs on the trampoline. Now, why did I show you a back hand spring for a trampoline work out? Because this three quarters back flip is similar to a back hand spring. I'm going to show it to you in a tuck position. There's a three quarters back flip. Back flip to a front drop. This one can be very dangerous, so be very careful. Perhaps learn it to a dog drop first just to keep off your face."
