Back Handspring from a Pit Pillow into a pit

Purpose: To develop confidence and control in early stages of the back handspring. If the student does undercut, and hit their takeoff surface, it is a soft and forgiving mat, not the edge of a pit, which may scare or injure them. An island in the pit can be used for standing back skills, or students can stand on the Bungee Block at the edge of the pit and back handspring onto the Pit Pillow.

Set up: Place Bungee Block at the edge of the pit while placing the Pit Pillow in the pit.
