Help with spotting.

[~minhthy~gymnast~]

Hello!
Its Minh Thy again! Anyways.... so of course you know i'm a gymnast, well a lot of my friends like me to teach them things! Again i do teach them the basics first! I can spot almost anything that I can do... but the one thing i cannot spot is a front tuck! I can spot back tucks... but not front tucks (flips)

So can anyone please tell be a simple and safe way to spot a Front tuck?
Also please be as specific as you can!

Thanx, Minh Thy

you shouldn't be spotting youre friends in the first place, its highly dangerous.
leave the teaching and spotting up the trained and certified coaches

Agreed. I don't encourage gymnasts spotting each other...or a gymnast spotting other friends. Coaches are trained and certified (& usually have years of hands-on experience). If your other friends want to learn some tumbling, why not have them go to an open gym or something and try it out there?

Gymnasts don't spot other gymnasts without formal training as a coach. What do the coaches say when they see you spotting someone else?

Agreed with everybody here except stretchskyskill.
