back handspring/back tuck
im on the jv squad at my school. for varsity next year i have to have my back handspring and working my back tuck. i currently have my back handspring with a spot, and i can do it by myself on the tumble track (trampoline). i am deciding to discontinue the tumbling classes provided for my squad, and am starting private lessons once a week at a different gym, because i am not learning anything at my current tumbling gym. my question is, which tryouts like 2 or 3 months away, do you HONESTLY think it is possible to get my back handspring and mostly get my back tuck by the time of tryouts? if i work hard, and stuff, like i know everyone is different but..is it even possible?! thanks so much =D

its definately possible to get your backhandspring in 2-3 months.(on a gym floor you want, i assume) in a private lesson, it should take you no time. back tuck could be tricky, but is still definately possible.
if you have your back handspring with a spot, youve really got to get confident and do it without one. thats really one of the hardest things to do. getting rid of a spot is scary, but its what youve gotta do.
also, youve got a huge advantage with a private instructor. work hard and you will be able to get the tuck no problem by tryouts.

Hey,
Coming from another cheerleader, I can tell you that it DEFINITELY is possible! Be optimistic about it, and try your hardest!! It's usually an issue of wits, so when you're ready, and know your stuff is strong, throw it HARD. Make sure you really put some effort into it, and once you get your pass down, you'll feel much more confident. The first time alone is always the worse, I can tell you that, but afterwards, it's usually cake.
I'd say to start off with getting your handspring alone, maybe a running handspring, then work to a running tuck. It'll give you alot more power, and once you're used to pulling that (believe me, it's much easier to pull than a standing!) you can get comfortable with pulling a standing tuck.
Make sure you practice every day, and only pull what you feel confident with!!
Best of luck, you'll do fine :)

I think its possible to get a flipflop in that time, but you have to get it good too. sometimes, girls just go from crappy fliflops to tucks which i guess can work, but its not as good as having a good flipflop. It might not be as likely to have a good flipflop and standing tuck in 2 months, but im sure if you try hard and work, you'll have a flip flop. Hope this helped, good lucK!
