Hello All ! I am desperate need of some help . I need my kips and my back tuck. In my kip i can pull up its just my toes need to get to the bar any tips? With my back tuck its just UGH . I just cant do it. Any tips?
At my last gym, I was on the tumble track doing front tucks onto the mat and I kept landing too close to the edge of the mat. My coach said I was gonna fall backwards onto the track if I couldn't make my tuck higher and longer. I tried many many times and I still couldn't get it. How do I fix...
I always knew the day would come when watching dd do her beam would freak me out - and now it's here........I can deal with the backhandspring stuff and the round off dismounts, but man, that back tuck is hard to handle! I am seriously having anxiety about it - I have never been concerned about...
Alex did her first front tuck on Saturday! She was actually working on her front handspring and kind of went to high. She was sooo excited that she did about 6 or 7 more. They were pretty ugly but she did it! This was at open gym! She is so excited to go to practice this week to show her...
i usually land my standing tuck with my chest very low and the flip itself is very long.... i'd like to do a back tuck on beam someday but i won't be able to do that until they improve significantly on the floor.... anyone have some tips? :confused:
ok so i have been stuck on this skill for quite some time now... i can do the r-off bhs tuck just fine on the ski and rod floor just not on the normal one! i tend to get all squishy and nervous so the floor takes all my power... its starting to make me angry and im getting really discouraged...
I'm a prep op and during this last meet, I did most of my routine really well but then on the last pass I totally messed up (compared to usual-usually the round-off bhs back tuck is no problem for me). I barely landed my back tuck because it was so low and I'm sure it had other problems. Yet I...
Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to do a standing back tuck full and landing straight up. I know that Shawn got deducted for bending over, but looking at other videos, it looks quite hard to actually landing it straight up. Besides seeing videos on the tramp, I have not seen a standing...
So I've joined the trampoline club at my university after being in rec level artistic gymnastics since I was 5. Anyways, last night for the first time in about 1.5 years I was doing back tucks!! I've had them periodically over the years but never for long and never this good. Last time I did...
I've always been twisting challenge and have finally learned a full- very exciting for me. For some reason I've decided to start competing again at age 25 and am competing level 9 in a few weeks. I wanted some people's opinions.

Hello! I was googling front tuck drills and came across this website. How cool! I already see this might suck up much of my time, so don't want to get too attached! I think it might be too late. I have not quite figured out how to use this yet, so really want to go over front tuck drills. I have...
Hi there. I have 2 questions--
---Is it correct for a female gymnast to do an underarm swing on her tumbling...tucks, round-offs, etc.
My daughter has a new coach and is telling her to make sure she does, while she knows she has been told by others NOT to underarm swing.
---In a layout is the...
I have been working on putting my standing back tuck on the beam. I can do it on the floor beam without spot perfect all on my own and i have no problems. but as soon as i move up to a beam slightly higher i won't go even if i have a pad and a coach. I don't know why i clam up and get scared...

i am wicked open when i do one, as you can see. whatever i try to do to make them more "tucked" i still am open...
I've been working on back tucks with one of my girls, and she has an extremely whippy set. Her back tuck is basically a backhandspring where she bends her knees and pulls her hands up.
She has so much power in her RO-BHS that she could, with a proper set, easily throw a double back (I'm not...
