Flyspring

Other names for this skill: bounder

A value skill

• The gymnast must have a strong front handspring that finishes with their feet behind their hips.
• The most common first mistake is to try and rush, piking at the hips, and bringing the head forward. This is the last thing that you want to do on a flyspring.
• An aggressive block and heel drive are essential. The heels should pull back throughout the skill.
• The gymnast should feel as if they are pushing up and back on the floor.
