    DD did her first back tuck!

    My little one did her first RO BHS BT today on her own! She is still technically a level 4, (level 5 starts May 1st,) but she set her mind to it and is so lucky to have a coach that has confidence in her. We were all very excited, especially her big sister, who you can hear shouting as she...

    Hey y'all, So I'm trying out for a cheer squad at my school. I have my RO BHS BT, and I'm close to my round off layout. Only problem is, I NEED MY STANDING BACK TUCK! I've been working on it for about a year now... and oh yeah... tryouts are in a week and a half. It's not like I'm far from it...

    Conquered the back tuck!

    Just HAD to share this one...my older DD who has struggled and struggled and struggled some more with back tumbling spent today at a spring break "camp" at our gym and got her ROBHSBT! I am SO proud of her because she has been scared of/avoiding this skill for quite awhile now and today she got...

    Over rotating in roundoff tuck back

    I've been doing round off tuck backs off an air floor onto a covered pit and had been landing the first few reasonably well, but last week I over rotated all the time and I can't work out why. :confused: Should I be slowing the rotation down or 'kicking out' of the somersault to land??

    Tuck Drills

    I am currently working on my front and back tucks and I was wondering what some drills I could do were.My main reason to get this is competitive cheer so wrap arounds (for back tuck) are preffered by my cheer coach. I go to open gym an hour every saturday and this is my main time to work on it...

    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...

    Front tuck fear??

    I read a lot on here about back tumbling fear but not as much on front tumbling fear. My dd level 5 is working on her level 6 skills and is great at back tumbling but is scared to even try her front tuck. She has had her front handspring and recently "got" her back tuck. I am just wondering if...

    handsprings and tuck backs

    I had a really awesome practice today. I did a handspring over the vault by myself for the first time and it was actually better than the spotted ones! I also did a spotted roundoff tuckback for the first time as well. :D

    Front walkover front tuck

    I was just thinking how cool a FWO-FT dismont off beam would be. I've never seen before. You can't compete flight element in my level so FHS-FT is out of the question. It's bonus if you have a connected dismount. Can't do CW-BT (I can't cartwheel- I can do FWO, BWO, BHS but not a cartwheel...

    Front Handspring Front Tuck

    I have a gymnast, teenage level 7, not the fastest but strong enough, good form and technique. She tumbles well on the trak, average on the floor. FHSFT on the trak is huge, she responds well to the slower bounce of the trak. On the floor she can FHS rebound tight and tall and moving forward...

    Which is harder,full twisting double layout or double twisting double tuck?

    I know both are G elements but is one harder than the other? In the 2008 olympics I saw a few double twisting double tucks but no full twisting double layouts.

    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...
