    Back tuck
    Hey, I have a problem! I got my round-off back-tuck this cheerin season but I cat only do it sum times! Sum times it's really high but other times it pretty much a back hand spring that's how low it is!! I am doing the sme thing every time though! But I'm scared that 4 try outs its going to be low! The reason that I want 2 do my tuck is because almost every one that is trying out can do a tuck!! Any advice on getting it definite!

    Re: Back tuck
    I would say practice a whole lot like as much as you can. And I had the same problem when I first started getting my tuck and then someone told me that if I reach straight up real high and as hard as I can ill go straight up and my tuck would be higher. I think you should try that. Another thing you can try is speeding up your tumbling. Maybe your not getting enough power in you BHS to get a high tuck. I find that if you tumble on the palms of your hands only then your tumbling is a lot faster and you have a higher rebound! Well I hope that helped, if not then srry I tried! ;)

    Weights
    You should try ankle weights! Something lite but not too lite because if you tumble with them on and then take them off, your tumbling gets a lot higher!! :D

    Practice A lot!! When you first start that's how itz going to be. Make sure you are very confident when you throw your tuck, and that you have a powerful round-off!
    Hope this helped:)

    I agree with the ankle weight thing also throw it straight up and now back throw your arms up it helps also try it on the trampoline and off a panel mat
