cheer tumbling!


Question Posted Monday January 12 2009, 5:56 pm

im on jv cheer and want to make varsity. i have my standing back handspring, roundoff back handspring, and roundoff 2 back handsprings. one morning at 6am practice i was way tired and threw my pass and went super crooked and fell, and separated my shoulder. that was about a month ago, so i havent tumbled since, and its finally healing where i can tumble soon.

i want to have my roundoff back handspring back tuck, and be working my roundoff tuck and possibly standing tuck by tryouts..which is the last week of march. so i've got a little over 2 months. im going to tumble once or twice a week until then.

however, i feel im gonna have to start all over with standing and roundoff bhs's because it has been so long, and i am still a bit scared :(
so knowing that, how possible is it to get any tumbling pass with a tuck in it by tryouts??? its not required, but it definitely helps.. even a roundoff bhs tuck would be fine with me!
also..any tips are great! THANKS!

I know how you feel because when I was stunting with my team I broke my nose. I was out for 4 months but once you have your handspring its hard to lose it. If the first one back you get a spot thats fine but even though your scared, you have to think positive and push yourself. To get a tuck in two months you need to tumble at least 4 times a week at minimum. Also, a girl on my team got her roundoff tuck before her roundoff handspring tuck and is not able to do handsprings anymore. It is crucial to have a handspring tuck before just tuck. Make sure you set high and pull your knees past your head. If you go forward you will not rotate and if you don't have a spot that could be very very dangerous.

hope i helped.

depending on how your body is and how you train, it could go either way. Ultimately just try to learn as mucha s you can in the time you have. i would invest in a trainer since you were just injured, if you dont already have one. just dont push yourself, or it will most likely result in further injury.
