what is the eaisest, most painless, safest, quickest way to learn a double back tuck on the trampoline?
I would prefer answers from other gymnasts just as a saftey thing and i dont want to be taken advice from people who can hardly hold a handstand or even do a roundoff.
THX!

1) Make sure you can do a really good back tuck on the trampoline. If you can't do a good and TUCKED back tuck on the trampoline, or better yet, on the ground, you should just close this and go look for how to do one.
2)If you can do a back tuck, you can probably do a back drop pull over on the trampoline. If you haven't performed one of these, do a back drop and kinda pull your feet over to land on your feet. When you do the back drop, bend your knees a little so it's easier to pull them over
3)After you learn both of these skills, combine them. Do a back tuck [land] to a back drop pullover. Then do that but dont land after your back tuck so it will be like doing a complete back tuck to your back and then pulling your feet over. work on this a lot before you think about a double back. make sure you find this skill easy before you think about a double back as well. Also it will help a LOT if you do your back tuck really high and quick so you are kinda just sitting in the air before you land on your back.
4)After you can do this very very well, try to pull your legs over faster. After you can do this, pull your tuck really tight in and keep going without landing on your back. On your second back flip, keep your knees tucked as tightly as possible. If you do not, you WILL land on your neck. In fact, at first, dont even try to land on your feet at all. If you succeed at a double back and land on your knees or butt, it won't hurt nearly as bad as your back or neck.

I have already started doin the the land on back thing on my own.Nobody ever told me or even showed to learn that first but i thought it would get me clser to my goal so i tried it. except i land on my butt, not my back like you said. i've been tryin to land on my back i can't get there fast enough.maybe its cause i don't have a net around my trampoline so i'm afraid that if i stay too tight and let go too late i wil fling myself of the tramp.?dont know bubt i guess that i should just do what you said and get comfortable with it first.
THX soooo much!
