| Round-Off Back Handspring |
| Back Handspring |
| The tumbler jumps backwards onto their hands, followed by a quick push from the hands to the feet. Also known as a flip-flop or flick-flack. |
| Bridge |
| The bridge is often used as a limbering excerise for back and shoulder flexibility. The body is in a backward arch with their hands and feet on the floor. The same as the finishing back bend position. The better bridges will show the shoulders directly above the hands or pushing past the hands if the tumbler has very flexible shoulders. |

| The cartwheel is where the tumbler turns sideways from a standing position, to a handstand, then back to a standing position. |
