Tips for flipping a tsuk!

[hawaii_gymnast]

So lately at gym, i have been working on tsuk timers (half on through to back shoulder stand backwards roll) on a crash mat from vault. Today, I was told that I have plenty of time to flip, so i could try. I was to scared today (only second time working on timers).
We dont have a pit, so are there any tips on what to do to help?

When you say "I have plenty of time to flip, so I could try".. You mean with spotting right?! My tip... Keep working the timers until you feel confident enough to do the skill! Don't feel pressured into doing it!
