Back Handspring Stepout
This technique is basically
like a normal back handspring, only that you spread your
legs after
jumping off and land on one leg.
The back handspring with spreaded legs is similar to the back walkover.
( b-walkovers are usually learned by girls before they learn the normal
back handspring -
boys usually don't learn the b-walkover )
