Here is a list of beam gymnastics skills. I’ve tried to list the skills in the order most gymnasts learn them. It is not a comprehensive list. It’s meant as a starting point.

Hi
To get your backbend you need to be able to do a bridge and try walking your hands down a wall. Also you need a lot of back flexibility. If it does not help then try research on YouTube with Anna McNulty I got mine of YouTube and I’m advanced gymnast.also 9yrs old
