if you do less, then your back tuck will be higher, because you will be less tired. the more back handsprings you do, the tireder you get, and the worse your back tuck will be. *coming from a level 7 gymnast*

Ignore that, it's completely wrong. The more back handsprings you do increases your power, thus making a tuck, layout, full, ect. higher and easier.

Yes. Generally, your back-handspring should be as long as you are tall. You can measure this by laying down on the floor and having someone mark where your head is and where your feet are.

Do a back handspring?

You might want to start out with learning how to go into a bridge WITHOUT starting on the ground. A back handspring would be easier if you know how to do a handstand. First you jump up then swiftly thrust your self backward so your pretty much in a bridge form but before your feet touch the ground catch yourself with the hands. Throw your feet into the air and back on to the ground. You should be standing. Remember to stretch yourself out first. My answer Sit back as if on a seat or a toilet. Then swing ur arms back and sit back and jump back, long and low, not up and straight down. Make sure u dont jump up and put your hands where your feet were. Try on if available a mat, if not a grassy piece of land.
