How do you do a backhand spring?
To do a backhand spring, it is very important that your legs, ankles, feet, arms, wrist, back and neck are stretched out, so you aren't stiff or anything like that when you go to do your backhand spring.
To do a backhand spring, start standing up straight with your shoulders stretched, and your arms up. Then lean back like your are sitting in a chair with your knees lined up with your ankles and your arms going out in front of you. Then as you lean back some more so your back is lined up with your waste, bring your arms back above your head. Then jump and bring your arms to te ground as your legs go up and land in a handstand, with your legs behind you and your toes pointed. If yo are beginning, just bring your legs down. If you are used to it, try and spring your legs up.and land in a standing position.
You're probably a beginner since you're looking up this question. If so, I recommend you get a spotter so you don't break your back, neck etc. That can easily happen when you're a beginner because you probably not do the positions right, which will cause your back to jerk if it is to fast for you, and You might fall and break either your back or neck. If you are a beginner and can't find a spotter, please don't do it anyways. Just wait until you have someone to spot you. Then when you have a spotter, Make him/her keep you in the positions for a little bit so your body can get used to them. As you get used to it, go faster and when you are ready, try going by yourself. And try your best, if it doesn't work keep trying. And eventually you will do it.
However, Do not do this on, cement, grass, dirt, rock, pavement etc. Make sure you are on mats or a trampoline. And if you are used to it, you can try on beams. If you are new to this, don't try it on beams unless you get good at it.
Remember to be safe as you do this and
follow these directions!
Hope this helped! ♥

The Beam & Block system is an alternative method to hollowcore and wide slab floor systems. This method consists of having T beams spanning across the floor area, wall to wall.
The system involves using pre-stressed, inverted "T" beams which are in filled with standard concrete blocks. Beams are produced to give nominal depths from 150mm to 225mm and are placed at 520mm and/or 295mm centres depending on the span and load.
Joints between the beams and blocks are to be grouted after installation and before screeds are placed. Insulation can be laid directly on top of construction. Screed is then poured to give a smooth finish to receive floor covering.

What is a pirouette for gymnastics?
I should know I can do a pirouette! A pirouette is a handstand 180. First, you do a normal handstand, but before you come down you turn one hand 180 degrees, and then the other hand 180 degrees, and when you come down, you should be in the opposite position you were in when you started. If you are a right handed person, in your handstand you will turn you right hand first, then your left. if you are a left handed person, you will turn you left hand first, then your right. It takes ALOT of practice, but I practiced constantly in my gym and at my house and I now am an expert!
