I actually don't like the barrel as a good handspring trainer, more often than not it makes you pike the handstand in order to complete the movement, thats not what you want to do in a handspring.
It would be easier if I saw what you were doing, do you have video?
Audio and Video quality isn't good, I tried using what I thought was a better camcorder... I was wrong. Hope you guys like it anyway.

If you already have a back handspring on floor then this video isnt for you, also if you have a short attention span (video is 22 minutes long), but this is 10 years of coaching condensed as small as I possibly could. Hope you like it.
