WAG Backtucks

[09gymnast]

Does anyone have any advice on backtucks? When I try to do a standing back tuck I just do a short back handspring. I know I’m supposed to jump but I literally don’t. When I do it on the trampoline, I just bend my legs, I don’t tuck. I really need to get this skill, thanks!

What helps me if to look at a spot on the wall (out gym has a line they have us look at to spot), then when I set, and rotate backwards, I try to get my hips up as high as possible.

Thank you, I’ve been told this, reminders are helpful!!
