AWW... no kidding!!! I've been in gymnastics for awhile now. I've been in since fourth grade. Back handspring? ew.
At a sewing convention today, a girl sewing behind me was talking to her mom. "Honey, let's clean up your sewing stuff so we can get to your meet," her mom said. Immediately, I figured she meant cheerleading or gymnastics. "What sport does she do?" I asked. "Gymnastics." "Oh I'm in gymnastics too!" "Do you compete? What level?" "Four. What about her?" "Five." "Oh so she has her back handspring?" "Yep."
That girl is like, nine and she's better at gymnastics, dance, AND tumbling. *embarrassed blush.*
Last year-ish, we were doing back handsprings at gymnastics in level 5 (I was training with the level 5 girls so I could practice five days a week) and we have little octagons spotting us. Since I'm tall, I accidentally jumped over it. I thought I'd land on my head, but I actually performed

A PERFECT BACK HANDSPRING, technique and all!
But I can't do that anymore:(
