The back handspring is one of the staple moves of gymnastics. It is a great move in and of itself, but its also used as a move to line up, and gain momentum for far larger moves. It’s also one of the harder of the basic tumbling moves. In my opinion it is tougher to do then a back tuck. While attaining it isn’t too difficult, get it to work smoothly and properly is a touch harder.

Trampolining and tumbling go together hand in hand. Trampolining involves doing all sorts of acrobatic tricks on a trampoline which can provide much more height. Tumbling involves doing the same or similar moves on the floor (and with gymnastic spring floors more height can be had).
