You have to have strong arms for one thing. You have to swing your arms back while sitting back like youre sitting into a chair. Then you jump HARD and throw your arms back as far as you can and watch them land on the floor. Then you have to snap your legs down hard and fast and then rebound

How do you learn the back handspring?

You have to make sure you have a really good roundoff. If you have. Really high rebound doing a back handspring will be much easier. So after you have a good roundoff with. High rebound then get a spotter and have them spot you for a back handspring. You want to do your roundoff and jump back not up and keep your legs straight. You don't want to land in the same spot you started you want to land a lot farther back. The more power you have the less the spotter will need to spot you and eventually you will get your back handspring by yourself!! Good luck!
