Can't land my roundoff back handspring right??!!! HELP!!

[gymnast4]

I just got my roundoff back handspring but for some reason I can't get my chest up and end up crashing on my knees or thudding onto my feet with my hands still on the ground. Also, I tend to go way crooked in my bhs even though my roundoff is straight. Does anyone have tips to fix these problems??

Keep working......with a coach. You need more time on this skill with a coach who can see what you're doing. But, way to go for getting this far.

Great job on getting the skill! for going crooked try tumbling on a line and watching it as you go. and to help get your chest up try some drills with a coach like snapping your feet down from a handstand on floor and trying to gt your chest up as fast as you can
