description Round Off Back Handspring Overview
The round-off back handspring is a tumbling connection that links a round-off directly to a back handspring. The athlete uses the round-off to turn forward travel into a backward rebound, then places the hands behind the body while passing through an inverted position before landing on the feet. It is used in gymnastics, cheerleading, and tumbling as a foundational transition into longer floor sequences.
