Ok. I was getting really good at gymnastics about a year and a half ago, and I was starting on fulls. I could never get courage to do the backwards twist. I had already been learning how to do an ariel and a branny. And got those down fine. But when it comes to flipping backwards + twists, I fall apart. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get me used to doing the backwards twists?
Thankyou =]

You need good layouts, ones that are high enough to twist from and ones that are hollow because you dont really want to twist when you've got a piked layout. Go on the trampoline and just do some halfs, like.. fulls are weird when you think about them. I can't ever do one in the water, but tumbling they are easy. Before I do my full I stand with my legs together and arms up next to my ears and just stay hollow and twist in my spot, like jump in one spot if you get what I mean. If I were you, I'd be on the trampoline trying halfs then fulls and just geting used to twisting on a tramp before you do it on spring or hard floor. If you need more explanation for tumbling you can i.m me at Skkatanic
