What's better round trampoline or rectangular trampoline?

Do you think if I can do a round-off back handspring on a regular circle trampoline then I can on grass?

  • I have a regular circle trampoline and in the evening yesterday I just went for the back handspeing after my round-off and I did it.Do you think I can do it on the ground because to me it seems very easy now cause at first for like 2 months I was so scared.

  • Answer:

    No. Not only is grass not springy and forgiving which could lead you to hurting your neck on the jump back, but even the slightest dips and bumps in the ground can put you at risk for breaking an arm. (I was in a cast for 9 months after doing a cartwheel in my best friend's yard, and our local gymnastics coach says he has kids drop out of class every summer for the same reason.) So, if you think you have it on the trampoline the next step is to do it with a spot on a spring floor. This is the way to find out if you have good technique or not. If you can't afford classes see if there is a gymnastics or cheer center with an open gym time and take people with you who are qualified to spot you. Once you get it on the spring floor you can then try it on a gym floor with cheer mats, again with spotters. I know it sounds like I am being overly cautious but it's with good reason. You only have one neck. Keep it safe. Good luck! I know if you follow safe progressions and keep on working hard you'll be able to do a BHS without the trampoline.

Grass doesn't have the spring of a trampoline.

you might be able to do it with a spot. you wont be able to do it by yourself on the ground because the ground doesn't bounce like a trampoline would. you shouldn't try it without a spot because you'll get hurt.

Do the round off BHS on the tramp a TON before you try it on the grass, Dont do both on the grass your first try. Work on the backhandspring first. If you can already do the BHS then try to get someone that knows how to spot to spot you on the round off BHS. I have seen way too many girls do that without spot and they end up freaking themselves out after the roundoff and change their mind about doing it in the middle of their backhandspring. (not good) Just make sure that you hare confident, if you are not try going to a gym like the ymca. or a gymnastics center im sure that anyone that knows how to spot a roundoff BHS would be more than happy to help you. I would help you, but i live in Minnesota. LoL. Good luck!!!! If you need more help let me know!

Its different on the ground then on a trampoline. You have to have more power and make sure your arms are strong enough so you dont fall on your head. I can do all kinds of flips on the tramp but never got them on the ground cause I always lost that bounce. If you do try it make sure you have someone to spot you otherwise you could hurt yourself. Round-off handsprings are usually easier than standing handsprings since you have that momentum, just make sure you dont pause after the round-off.

If you can do it well enough on a trampoline, it might be a good idea to try it as long as you have a spotter who knows what they are doing. The bounce on the trampoline may not seem like it is giving you any height, but it helps through your lower body backwards when you commit to the stunt.

Only way to find out is to try.... but make sure you have a friend near by just in case you hurt your self

It's all about your mindset and confidence you have in yourself. You have a positive mindset on the roundoff back-handspring and if you really think you're ready to do it on the grass, don't psyche yourself out and go for it! But, there's also the chance that the difference from the trampoline and grass will cause your arms to give out and therefore cause you to get injured. Make sure you have a spotter the first time you try it on the grass. Not just a friend or parent either, someone with a gymnastic or cheerleading background, preferably a coach. You'll feel much more comfortable and secure (: Good luck!
