The boulder is the most effective tool for teaching back handsprings.
Unlike octagons and other shaped trainers, The Boulder® Handspring Trainer (U.S. Pat. No. 7,789,805) with its unique "single flat side" design ensures this product:
Stands ready for use and automatically returns to proper position after each use Properly supports user throughout the full motion Begins rolling only when user correctly transfers weight Encourages user to “snap down” Does not prematurely eject user Never rolls over or on top of user.
As shown in the video if the athlete does not explode with their legs then the boulder will not roll over. This wonderful safety feature ensures success and confidence. If the athlete does not reach the "superman" arched position with their arms behind their ears the boulder will not roll. Since the boulder is front heavy the athlete has to get to the arched position with their arms protecting their head.
Our JL-135 35" The Boulder® Handspring Trainer accommodates users 54" (4'6") to 60" (5') tall. This Boulder is 35" and 28" wide.
