Back tumbling on beam....

[froggythegymnast]

I'm just so scared to go backwards and tumble I freak my self out but when I have mats next to the low beam I'm ok? And I can't get my hand placement on beam can anyone help?

unfold the panel mats so that you have room to put your hands. and c'mon, how can you be freaked on a low beam with mats? it's the same as doing it on the floor.

What skills are you talking about? Some people lump back walk-overs into the tumbling category while others don't. How long have you been working on beam back tumbling skills in general, and what recent activities have prepared you to tumble backwards on the beam.
