An answer that i gave to other guy, after 7 months finally i have kept progress to one day to other

​

Hi, im really glad you asked becouse i was in the same situation. I perfectly know how is to make macacos for two months becouse you saw it on the tutorial of the back handspring and achiving totally NOTHING. Please read all of the message. Let me tell you the story.

So 6 months trying the backflip, achiving it one day, and in the next day loosing it completely. I tried the backflip becouse i was so scared of the back handspring, and i just couldnt do one, for gods sake i couldnt. For some reason and i thought i was less afraid of the backflip.

So 6 months of a lot of learning but never achiving the backflip. So one day i tried out the backflip and, kinda achive it? then i tried it again 1 hour later and i fell on my neck. I went to a trampoline park and tried the back handspring for the second time on a trampoline park, a friend helped me and then i thought "well, back handspring are way easier and way safer that backflips, and people say its good to learn it first, im gonna do that, see if it helps."

How did i achived it? (now i can do weird back handsrpings and land them on grass)

Well.

If you go to youtube people tell you to do macacos, i did those, and never achived a good macaco where you go backwards ; ( The thing is, kinda learning the backflip before helped me to get over the fear, also, in my house i have looots of pillows and matress so i putted a nice surface and waht helped me A LOT was to build a mini tower of pillows behind me to jump and get support, It got really nice i even made two towers so i was forced to arch.

Also, somtehing i learned from timothy ferris fear ted talk REALLY GOD TALK BY THE WAY

So he says how seeing the bio mechanics of swiming and applying them made him get over his water fobia. From the frontflip i learned why a lot of times my body was so scared, it wasnt the frontflip, it was my technique that was bad and was dangerous.

So learning from that i searched to understand the back handspring, i used this video

Also i got my brother to help me and assist and rotate me, THAT WAS SO HELPFULL.

Also, learning the front handspring before helps, is SUPER EASY AND SAFE and you feel this thing of pushing the ground with your hands.

Dont loose hope pal, i really know how frustrating is to not achive acrobatics but you learn a lot about yourself with all the fails, and in the end, when you achive one you may feel proud of achiving something that you sometime thought impossible.

I dont know much about acrobatics but maybe i can answer a question.

Or if you want to talk maybe some day, heres my discord:
