(a and b); KEEP ELBOWS STRAIGHT (c); FLEX AT HIPS AND SNAP DOWN WHEN HANDS TOUCH (c); LAND FLAT-FOOTED WITH ARMS UP (d). FOOT-PUSH BACK HANDSPRING HINTS TO BEGINNERS: In this stunt the top man does not lift for height but throws back into an arch with his head and arms. It is very important that the bottom man wait until the weight of the top man is well over him before he gives the push. The objective for this stunt should be to learn how to place the hands on the ground, keeping the elbows straight, and to coordinate the snap down with the landing position. VARIATIONS 1. Foot-to-hand balance (Fig. 74) ; top man sits well forward on bottom man's feet and does back layout (They may hold hands.) ; top man then arches back into back handspring. |
