to mea front handspring is harder. I can't get up from it. but I started tumbling and on the first day I landed my back handsrping with a spotter.personally i think the front handspring is harder!A front handspring is definitely harder for most people for the simple reason that it is easier to throw your legs backwards over your head than it is to kick them over forward. That said, there are some gymnasts who are forward-tumbling specialists, like Russian gymnast Elena Produnova, for whom a front handspring is probably equally as easy as a back handspring.A front handspring is harder to make, and do correctly for most people. You pretty much have to have the correct technique in order to make it. A back handspring is easy to make, but it can be scary, and is a bit more dangerous.
If you can do a correct front limber, it is easier to do a front handspring, because the only difference is that you go faster, and block/push off your hands (get flight). A front limber is a handstand to bridge, and then you stand up. From the bridge, you rock your hips and knees over your feet, and then "roll" the rest of your body up until you are standing. You have to keep your arms up by your head, and keep looking up at your hands the whole time. It is kind of hard to explain a front limber, but if you do a bridge with your hands next to a wall, and you slowly walk your hands up the wall, looking at your hands the whole time, you will be able to stand up. If you can do it without the wall, keeping your head back, you can try a front handspring.
Try some front handsprings, and kick your leg over hard, block off your hands, and keep your head back, looking up at the ceiling/sky. If you have some foam or something to try to go over, it might help. Put your hands in front of the foam, and try to land on the other side without touching it.
I'm a gymnastics coach, and I did gymnastics for years. The most common problem we see with front handsprings is the gymnasts "sitting up" or looking for the ground instead of keeping their head back. a back handspring is more advanced but i think a front handspring is harder to get up from.Well its mostly depending on which one you have more fear of. I would say fronthandprings are easier but much harder to stand up. If you have little or no fear of going backwards and you have some arm muscles and a good coach to teach you then backhandsprings would be easier. it just depends on your mind set. They are both VERY easy after you get them...Good Luck!mate i find back hand spring harder mainly because i'm not a gymnast and taught myself and i nearly always pussy out when going backwards. as i said i taught myself doing a front hand spring is easy you just have to get used to the idea of flicking over i managed to do it on my first try without a spotterWell to get up from a front handspring bc u r facing forward but is behind your hips and have to pull yourself up, with a back handspring ur body is facing forward but before your hips so your body naturally goes back. So overall it is easier to land a back handspring!#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
