To do a back handspring you should be able to do a bridge. It will help if you can do a bridge kick over, too!

Start while standing. If you have a jump before, it will be really hard to get rid of it.

Go into a chair position.

Spring up! Don't be afraid of going backwards! Remember to stay straight!

In the middle to a nice straight bridge. Prepare to land on your hands! Point your toes!

In the middle to a handstand. Keep your arms straight. If you can't support your weight, you can practice pull ups and jump into handstands.

Now swing your legs over.

Swing up! Now you've done a back handspring!
