You need help on how to do back-bend kick overs? OK. I know that these take along time, I took longer on these than I did things like back handsprings and back tucks! Back bend kick overs are one of the most important things to know in gymnastics.\nMake sure you have a"spotter" to arch your back correctly and so you don't fall.\nGet in your back bend.\nStart to rock a little bit, that warms up your muscles. \nPush off the ground with the foot you AREN'T kicking over, have your spotter support the leg and help push it over.\nYou need strong arms and back to be able to do a back bend kick over, not so much with the legs. \nGood luck.

It's best to have someone to train you how to do it! But if you REALLY want to learn start by doing back flips off diving boards on trampolines. Then your muscles will start to remeber how to do it and then you can do it!

Thats easy. All you do is put a few Gymnastics mats infront of u, and run, lunge put ur hands on the mat as if u were doing a really fast hand stand bridge pull up. ITs really easy. warning: dont try this w/o adult supervision and do not try this w/o a trained gymnastics teacher.

once you're in your handstand position upside down (the middle of your back handspring) snap your feet to the ground but not squished, stretch your body out a little. make sure you're hollow when you come up. Good luck!

STEP 1: Stand on the board with your rear foot placed on the tail and your front foot between the middle of your board and the front bolts.\nSTEP 2: Place the ball of your rear foot in the middle of the board so that when you push the tail down, the ball of your foot feels the pressure.\nSTEP 3: Place your front foot nearly straight across the board.\nSTEP 4: Practice pushing down as fast as you can with your back foot and putting all your weight on the tail. This is the initial motion of the trick.\nSTEP 5: Notice that the harder you push, the more your board wants to keep going up once the tail is on the ground. You will use that motion in the next step.\n\nSTEP 6: Strike the tail on the ground and jump off with your rear foot as you slide your front foot up the board (so your knee moves toward your chest).\n\nSTEP 7: Drag the side of your foot up the board as you are jumping. This will cause the board to come up with your jump. Once both feet are in the air, the board will seem to stick to them.\nSTEP 8: Come back down.\nTips & Warnings\n\nLearn this trick without rolling at first to get comfortable with the motions. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you will be able to adapt to moving and going up or down things.\nThe hardest part is the timing of when to push down on the tail, when to jump, and how quickly to suck up your legs. The secret: It's all done at the same time. The faster you do it, the easier it becomes. Think about jumping off with one foot and sucking your legs up to your chest.\nSkateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.

If you have to ask, start with knee pads.\n\n# 1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop.\n# 2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the tail.\n# 3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up.\n# 4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape.\n# 5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward.\n# 6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact\n# 7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

Tip: Standing Jump and Reach\nThe standing jump and reach:1-Start with feet shoulder width apart, body straight up and down.2-Squat slightly, explode upward, reaching toward a target or object.3-Take no steps before jumping again.4-Repeat for 1:00, rest 1:15, go again. Do 3 sets.\n \nTip: 90-Second Step Jump\n1-Stand at the side of the step, feet shoulder width apart. 2-Jump onto the step, quickly jump off step on other side.3-Repeat the process in the opposite direction.4-Begin at 30 seconds, and work your way up to 60 and finally 90 as you feel more comfortable. 5-Rest 15 seconds longer than you jumped, doing sets of 3.\nTip: Two-Foot Ankle Hops\nHere´s how to do the two-foot ankle hop:1-Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your body straight up and down.2-Using only your ankles, hop continuously in place.3-Extend your ankles to the maximum range with each jump.4-Continue for one minute, rest 1:15, then go again. Do 3 sets.\nTip: Bleacher Sprints\nA good way to improve quickness and jumping ability is to utilize bleachers for running. This can be done on a small set or a large set. Beginners - may want to start on a small set and run up and done 3 times. Intermediate - needs to try to complete a large set of about 15-20 bleachers 3 times. Experienced - players need to complete a large set of bleachers of about 20+ bleachers, skipping every other step. Every level should take 30 second break and complete at least 3 sets.\nStart with a warm up, including a light jog, stretching, big arm swings and side-to-side movements for 10-15 minutes, and then move on to the plyometric routine.

It takes a different amount of time for different people. For me, it took very long, longer than it did my back handsprings or back tucks! But once you get it, it's easy!\n\nIts natural for your wrists to hurt because of the way you are using them and the weight you are putting on them is not normal. I can't be sure you are doing them correctly since I cant see you, but that is normal and just be careful and remember to rest and not push yourself too hard.\n\nHere are my tips on doing back walkovers:\nWhile you are going back you have to be pulling your leg back at the same time. Otherwise it is choppy and MUCH harder to get over. Start with your leg up (make sure you have your balance), its easier.\nWhen first practicing, do it on a mattress or better, a trampoline.\nMake sure you KEEP YOUR ARMS OVER YOUR HEAD. Many give out and then PLOP on your head and it hurts!\nHave someone spot you first, arching your back.\nMake sure you have your bridge first, or trying to do a back walk over is crazy! Practice your back bends a lot.\n\nAnother exercise is to do a bridge with your feet up on something(a couch, bed, etc). Then, kick your legs over your head. To strengthen your back, do this same exercise, only try to use your back to pull your legs over, instead of kicking. \n\nGood luck!

you can do a variety of exercises with little-to-no equipment. bodyweight exercises such as push-ups are great. If you invest a little bit of $$$ you can get a used barbell and some free weights & make a complete routine from scratch. Use a heavy object (depending on your strength level now, something possibly as light as a dictionary) for lying pullovers; use heavy handheld objects (i.e. a soup can) for overhead tricep extensions. Do farmers walks with buckets full of water or sand; do lunges the same way. Hook your ankles under the edge of your sofa and do reverse hamstring curls. If you can go to a park you can really get a good free workout: chins and dips on the monkey bars, step-ups on a park bench, etc.

Do Dips....\nEXAMPLE:\nSit on a chair and and then move forward until your butt is in the air but your arms are holding on to the chair seat(this is starting position): then move up and down with your arms! Sorry if that discription is horrible!! This move definately works though!

FRONT SET\nMake a triangle with your hands and then another with your elbows.  Make sure the hand triangle is always above your forehead or else you will be called on a lift.  As the ball enters the hand triangle use you wrists, elbows and knees to absorb the ball's impact.  Then push the ball to wherever it is you desire to set to.  It will take some practice to get a handle on how much power to use to set middle, quicks, power, steps etc.  \n\nBACK SET\nFor a back set everything remains the same but at the moment of release you have to turn your thumbs and arch your back to send the ball backwards.\n\nJUMP SET\nA jump set is ment to quicken the pace of your offence.  But because you are in the air you only have you wrists and elbows to control the ball.  Therefore you must move right under the ball to maintain the triangles to keep control of the ball.  You must also make the appropriate movements at the peak of your jump.
