how to do a double back tuck
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!

i guess that the best way to learn them is to do one tuck then do a jump and do another. The faster you get to be able to do this the easier it gets them. If your gym lets ya then you should ask to move a mat and put like a stinger on the top of the mat so if you fall then you wont get tramp burns. When you get ready to do it make sure you are like high and you are setting, when you go after your first one keep rotating and pull yourself around. One thing that you might struggle with is learning when to open up cause by habbit you will probly start opening up when you usually do for just one.you should prob. have ur coach spotting you when you first start doing them, because they can help you get around faster and help you tuck more. it would be seriously stupid doing it without a spot.you can seriously hurt yourself if you are not doing them right, just make sure that you have an adult spot until they think you are safe to do them on your own. Also dont try and learn them fast take your time to learn them right.hope it turns out okay if you dont uderstand just send me in my inbox.

There are several drills that I always have my kids do when teaching them... but if you need them in a hurry the best way to learn them is to do one tuck then do a jump and do another. The faster you get to be able to do this the easier it will be to get them. If you gym alows it you might ask to move a mat and put like a stinger on the top of the mat so if you fall then you wont get tramp burns. When you go to do it make sure you are high and you are setting, when you go after your first one keep rotating and pull yourself around. One thing that you might struggle with is learning when to open up because by habbit you will probally start opening up when you usually do for just one. Make sure you have a coach spotting you when you first start doing them, because they can help you get around faster and help you tuck more. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT START THEM WITHOUT A SPOT!!!! I have had a girl once try them with out letting my spot her because she was not listening and went before I was at the tramp, but ended up not rotating all the way and fell and broke a bone in her neck! That is not to scare you but to tell you that you can hurt yourself if you are not doing them correctly, just make sure that you have an adult spot until they think you are safe to do them on your own. Also dont try and learn them fast take your time to learn them right. Good luck and if you need more help feel free to drop one in the inbox :)

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.
