Ok, long story.
I just got moved up to the next class and I have a recital in about 3 weeks, on January 28th. I haven't perfected all the material in the new class - back hip circles on bars, forward rolls & jumps on beam, and backbend kickovers on floor. I know for sure that backbend kickovers are going to be in the floor routine at the recital. I can do a backbend 100% of the time, but I need an incline mat to kick over. And even then, I only get it about 80% of the time. I've seen on some other forums to look at your hands, but others say to keep your head neutral. I have looked at some of the threads here at CB, but I still can't seem to get them. I know it's hard without seeing it =( but I do the backbend, keep my head neutral, walk my feet in, get on my left-foot tiptoes and swing my right leg. And push off with my left foot. But with no incline, I always seem to come back down.
Any advice? Thanks a TON =) Check out my other threads too!
