So, my mom just bought a new giant trampoline for our backyard. Yes, I'm aware, this is really dangerous. My sister (3yo) is only allowed to do any sort of anything other than just jump without a spot from me since I'm the only one who knows how to spot in our household. Anyway, I've been working on back tumbling for a while. I know that at this point there's no way I'm getting a BHS. My back is too flexible and so I undercut - no matter what surface I use or how much of a spot I have. I'm strong enough to do it but I really struggle with keeping my spine straight. I quit gymnastics actually because of this and my struggles on beam about a year and a half ago. I can still do a FHS, FT, front layout, front pike, and front 1/2. I've been working on front fulls into a pit at open gyms just for fun. I'm hoping to try and get my BT on the trampoline and maybe a ROBT on said trampoline. Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for this? I used to be able to do a ROBT with a spot off a tumble track into a pit, but that was over a year ago. I'm nervous to do this without properly building up, but I don't know what drills I can do on the trampoline at home. We have panel mats (2) and a small wedge mat I can use if that helps.
What drills can I do to build up to a back tuck?
