I started tumbling class age 12 and I loved it! I quit during the summer of that year and haven't gone back since but I wanted to keep the skill I had learned so I decided to continue doing backhandprings and I coached myself through the entire thing. I now have my roundoff backhandspring backtuck and I want to learn how to do a full. I can only make it halfway around though. Can someone please give me tips on how to get all the way around?

I have the same problem as you. I quit las year and have been coaching myself since. I'm 11. I also have my roundoff backhandspring backtuck. I can only make it half way around to. Everytime I try to do a full I get scared and don't do it.I think you should just practice. That's how I learned my backtuck and layout. That's the only advice I can give you, since I have the same problem. Also I was wondering, I have a beam. Do you have advice on how I can teach myself how to do a backhandspring on it. I can already to a backwalkover on it. Now I want to learn to do a backhandspring on it.

A tuck full or a layout full? Hmm... sorry, just wondering. :P
Anyway, make sure you get enough height. Set first before you twist. What I mean by that is don't twist right off the floor. A lot of people have that problem when they're first learning how to twist -- their body and their feet tend to already start the twist before they even finish the back handspring and take off for the flip. Set first, arms above your head, and go up off of the ground before you start your twist.
The half is a very good place to start. It's easier to rotate the full when you have the general feel for it. So try starting out with the half, then jumping the other half right after you land. That way, you get the feel for it. As you start feeling more comfortable and more confident with it, try pulling yourself around sooner and sooner. Eventually you'll get the full all the way around.
The most important thing is to be patient! Keep at it, it'll only come if you work at it! Best of luck! ^.^
