Parents DD's BHS progress :)

[Queen270]

Hi there,
This is a video my DD made on her backflip/BHS progress! She is a REC gymnast and taught herself this skill with coaches guidance. At the start it isn't even a BHS and looks terrible but at the end i think its pretty good!! Enjoy and sorry it's so long

THere is clearly no coach in these videos, it is a really bad plan to try to learn BHS at home without a qualified coach. NO responsible coach would encourage that.

Please do not let her do this at home.

Much better plan to keep the backyard trampoline for jumps and the gym for back hand springs. It is much safer that way as well as she might pick up bad habits self teaching at home that will be a bear to fix down the road. I can tell you one right off the bat, even on a trampoline you don't jump several times before doing a back hand spring, just once going into it. It does look like she has progressed though, keep up the good work in the gym!
