Women Front Tumbling vs. Back Tumbling.....

[GabbyNastiaShawn00]

Random question- Do you like front or back tumbling better? Mine is front tumbling.

Front back is scary!

 

[SuperGirlmlm]

I like front tumbling all the way!

Well, I like to watch back tumbling the best. But my daughter seems to enjoy front tumbling more.

A lot of people like back but I like front! Front seems safer.

I've ALWAYS been a front tumbler. I like to see where my hands are going BEFORE they go down. And Im less afraid of falling on my head that way lol. Unfortunately I like the way back tumbling looks over front

 

[Fliptwisttumble]

DD is definitely a back tumbler!

Back! By far. I can see the landing, and it feels more natural.

 

[M_Keely]

I like back because its easier to build off of and connect.

I am a back person on floor. However, on vault I am front and would rather do fhs front Tsuk than Tsuk. On beam I am front, as I would rather do a front aerial than a bhs. On bars I am also front as I would prefer a jaeger to thatched, and a shoot front tuck to layout flyaway.

I like front tumbling. I can do a lot more tumbling forwards than backwards, because of fear and stuff. But I'm in T&T, and we only compete back tumbling.

Very interesting -- front tumbling comes a lot harder to DD than back. She has a . . . not totally awesome . . . FHS-FT, but was doing roundoff back fulls a few days ago with an air floor onto mats, and is starting to work on her RO-whip-BT. Even weirder, she has had a lot less trouble with the FHS-FT than she did with the FT. She still does not have a really good solo FT!
