Now you can add a backhand spring to this motion sequence for those of you who have
tumblers in your squad. If you don't have tumblers in your squad obviously you want
to end this at the toe touch and just freeze on the five, six and clean it and go from
there. If you do have tumblers, or at least you have a few tumblers you can have them
do a backhand spring. Now, what I would suggest is to make a formation if you only have a
few tumblers. Make a formation so that the outside or the inside, however you want to
do it, there's a certain section of your group that can do backhand springs and maybe while
they are doing their backhand springs the no tumblers can do a forward roll. That give
a nice contrast of direction for the judges and it gives the illusion of having more tumblers.
If I've landed on five, six. If you've got girls that can go straight into their backhand
spring they would land on five, six, backhand spring seven, eight, up, one. If you need
to take that little bit of pause for cushion for less experienced tumblers then that's
ok. Instead of starting on seven, eight, you're going to land that jump on five, six, hold,
seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six. This is where you can play with the counts
a little bit to suit your needs. You are going to have different counts based on how advanced
your tumblers are and different counts based on whether or not you want to incorporate
another jump for complete no tumblers or forward rolls for your beginning tumblers. So again,
I've landed my jump on five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three for my more experience tumblers.
