Next, in the assisted back somersault from a shoulder sit (Fig. 119) he is a little higher and does more of the stunt by himself. He can throw his head back into an arch with his arms and snap down to his feet with very little assistance when he learns the stunt well, because he has sufficient height. The neck-lift back somersault (Fig. 120) is even more like a true back handspring. In the foot-push back handspring (Fig. 121), the performer can practice throwing back into an arch and snapping down from the real back handspring landing position on the hands. The performer should not begin the practice of the back handspring until he has become well impressed with these fundamentals and has developed a limber back. |
