definitely back tumbling. I feel like I have more power and control, and my brain has problems dealing with front tumbling for some reason. I've been trying to learn a front handspring- layout twist lately, but I get so messed up I start twisting in the FRONT HANDSPRING lol its crazy. When I...

oh goodness. my wristbands smell like death. haha yeah make sure they're washed often.
