Hi Wayne,

I know how to do a round-off back handspring but when I land my knees like I am crouching down and I want to land straight and I want to learn how to do a round-off back tuck if you have any suggestions please e-mail me back so I can be ready for cheer try-outs.

To put an end to your crouching... do NOT step-out of your handspring... INSTEAD... SPLIT the legs as they pass through the handstand position... and STEP backward... one leg at a time. (like a lunge-step-exit)
This does TWO things:

1) It will FORCE you to identify WHEN you pass through the handstand position. Yes, the Handspring is a handSTAND based skill! If you don't make SURE you do a SUPERBLY formed handstand in the middle of it then your Handspring will be poorly formed.

2) It will help you keep your HIPS elevated on the landing.

After you've practiced a few HUNDRED of those you'll be ready for good rebounds and tucks
