"the book" it calls them flick-flacks, we call them back handsprings, and apparently some call them flip-flops.
 
Everyone at DD's gym calls them BHS. I never really heard of people calling them flick flacks or flip-flops.
 
we (everyone at my gym) call them backhandsprings unless we're talking about a beam series - then we call them flicks (ex: flick flick instead of bhs bhs)
 
I think this question often depends on the country you live in. BHS is most common in the USA, while flick or flip-flop I've mostly heard used by those in different countries. I live in the USA, so I say BHS.
 
Neither! :D
(In australia) we call them a back-flips (e.g. round-off, back-flip) or just flips (e.g. flip, sault).
To me a back handspring is a back-flip with a step out.

:)
 
Here in Scotland we call them backflips - I call them flic's though!

USAG refers to them as flip flops or flick flacks.
