All-Star Forwards Or Backwards Tumbling-which One Do You Prefer And Why?

[purplecheer]

The title says it all.

 

[Fiercecheer12]

I say forward because it's a lot more easier for me

 

[nicolee]

I find backwards easier, but forwards a lot more fun!

 

[AngelsMum24]

I always preferred backward tumbling. I like being able to see my landing.

 

[DaniV]

Forwards. Always have and always will. I have mental blocks with back tumbling

I love and admire forward tumbling because I was always too chicken (beyond a front handspring/front walkover).

 

[cheerforcebboi]

Absolutely DESPISE front tumbling! I'm not the best at judging blind landings and over rotating punch fronts to tumble out of them. I'll tumble backwards all day though! LOL

I always loved back tumbling up until my back injury, then I ended up doing a lot of front tumbling for a while, I was still awful at it but it was fun.

Probably back, cos that's what I'm better at. I don't ride up very well in front tumbling, so I never get good height, but I can do that with back.

Front tumbling is so unique to me, but back is less frightening.

When I was in cheer, it was the opposite for me. For some reason, blind landings didn't phase me.

Lucky you. The possibility of landing on my head freaks me out too much.

Back tumbling is so easy for me, but I'm so scared of it!!

 

[Momager]

As a spectator, I love the look of a front pike and a front full

 

[oncecoolcoachnowmom]

When I actively cheered, if you wanted to see me eat mat, all you had to do is just ask me to do a front skill (even as a college student.)

I once cried over a punch front in HS because it was so bad it ended up being taken out of the routine. Real tears.

 

[Eyes On The Prize]

Stunting. I preferred stunting.

Why? Because it wasn't tumbling.
