Technical description: Gymnastic Back Walkover
- Go down into the bridge ( see bending back into a bridge instruction ) and lift one leg shorly before you hands touch the floor.
If this is difficult to balance for you, ( becasue you will finish the bridge on one leg ) finish the bridge on both legs,
wait a few seconds and then throw up one leg. Spread your legs as far as you can and extend both knees.
Also try to keep your elbows straightened.
- The middle of the back walkover is a handstand-frontsplit.
Put down one leg.
- Line up the second leg with your trunk and your arms.
- Finish in the same position you started from.
( hands up )
Trainer advice: Gymnastic Back Walkover
- You can land on one leg or on both legs.
- You can learn how to go down into the bridge with spotters, so you can also learn the back walkover with spotters.
- Learning the back walkover first can also help you if you want to learn the back handspring.
( just speed up, speed up spped up )
- TRAINING METHOD:
Do a bridge with your feet on a plateau, so that you hands are lower than you feet.
That way it will be easier to throw over your legs.
