Backuprise

A value skill

• Heel drive is the key. Most gymnasts will want to lift their shoulders early to get to support. It is very important that the heels lead during the upwards swing, not only for the backuprise, but for just about every rear swinging skill.
• After the heels drive towards the ceiling the gymnast should think about pulling the rings well underneath them while continuing to drive their heels.
• The gymnast should focus on controlling the support in the planche position and lowering to a straight support slowly.
