    WAG Muscle Memory: How to jump higher before tucking (Back Tuck)

    Hello all :) I'm working on my back tuck. I'm beginning by jumping off of a high mat onto a low mat. My spotter claims that they barely touch me, and I land the back tuck on my feet. I do a good job of not throwing my head back, rotating (I think), and committing to the tuck. However, after...

    WAG Back Tuck Help

    Hi! So I've been practicing my back tuck for a long time and I don't know what to do anymore. If I have rotation, I'm so close to the ground but if I I get enough height, I have no rotation. No one seems to be able to tell me what to do to combine both rotation and height. I mean there must be...

    The Back Tuck

    Hi! I did my very first back tuck yesterday on the 2nd and I didn't land it.. I think it's because I didn't let go of my legs quick enough. So when should I let go of my legs to land? Should I count to three or something while I am in the air? Any advice is completely appreciated! Thanks!

    8 year old dd did a double back tuck yesterday!!!

    Oh, on the trampoline in the bungee harness, lol! Thought that would get you all upset and ready to chew me out. :) They had about an hour of playtime yesterday afternoon after some pretty hard conditioning. They were "peter pan" flying and having a ton of fun.

    Big day at practice - first giant and unassisted back tuck

    DD did her first unassisted back tuck today (after quite a number of drills) and did several (assisted) giants. One small step, I guess, but at her gym these are big skills that they work a lot of drills towards, so it was pretty cool to see them. I'm sure there's plenty left to do, but it was...

    Terrified of back tuck.

    I am a level 7-8 gymnast in every event except floor. I'm terrified of doing a roundoff backhandspring tuck! I can't get past it no matter how hard I try. Flip flops on beam don't even scare me but when it comes to doing a simple tuck I freak out. I bailed on one two years ago and landed on my...

    Standing back tuck?

    I can't land my standing back tuck and it's driving me crazy. The problem isn't even that I'm landing and then falling fowards, I barely land on my feet at all. It's like I rotate onto my knees. I have a good set, so I don't really know if that's the problem. Does anybody think they can help...
