((on the floor)) any tips?? if I'm gonna have to do either on the beam in 2 years then i probably need to get them on the floor :D i go for them it's just i can't land it.. on my back tuck i just think my rotation is kind of slow and on my layout stepout...well any help is great :)
 
Standing layout is a lot harder than standing back tuck. You should master the standing back tuck and then the standing back pike before attempting to practice this on floor. The one leg step out landing leaves you particularly vulnerable to ankle or foot injuries from landing short.

i would do either a cartwheel or a bhs into it.. i wouldn't even think about trying it from a stand :D lol
 
You said you have 2 years until you need to worry about it, so why not work up to it slowly with drills. Ask your coach, that is what they are there for, I am sure he/she will have some ideas for you.
