A video of my back tuck

I'm at my fancy homemade gym.

This is a few days after I first learned them on the ground, I could do it on a trampoline a long time before this though.

Nice one dude! Great landing too, perfect ! Man I would love to be able to do a front and backflip once day, seems I'm abit scared to actually try without being taught properly How did you get to the point where you are now? Self taught?

Peace,

Mike

Are you Sasquatch on Chalkbucket? I think you pm'd over there.

Nice. You're throwing your head back and that's what's causing the travel. You have plenty of vert and you are built light which is a good thing.

Thanks for watching it.

The way I learned a back tuck was first I learned a backflip on my friends trampoline, It took me a long time to learn it on the tramp because I didn't have a spotter, but eventually I got brave enough to spin over my head. Once you do that it gets way easier.The way I learned it on regular ground is, first I had to learn how to back tuck on a trampoline, then I went to the beach and did it off a sand hill, after that I tried it on the regular sand, and then I went home and tried it at my olympic arena you see in the vid lol. I couldn't do it too high at first though. standing front tuck is alot harder though.

Oh and yea I'm sasquatch on the chalk bucket.I'm built really light, I'm 6-4 and 162 lbs.

edit. I just realised there's a digital coaching section of the forum, I should have put this there, sorry.

Hey, I tried what you said, I'm able to land in the same spot now, thanks.

I think it makes me tuck into a tighter ball because sometimes I over-rotate.

A line is another good tool. A piece of athletic works fine, anything really.

Now that you can land on the line and are starting to over-rotate, either start working back pike or not tucking as much.

I tried to do a backflip today without tucking or bringing my knees forward, is that called a whipback?

The flood we had actually lifted my ramp up and moved it onto my patio, it's uneven.... now I'm doing flips on mud coverd by a rug.lol
