I do know the technicality etc of the tuck itself - I coach up to L3 - but it's kind of different when it's me throwing the skill :) weird to explain!
There are supervisors that float around our adult gym session so I'll drag one over tonight and se what they say!
Thank you,

Sooo...I'm learning my back tuck. I'm currently on a fast track/trampoline and am setting nice and high and rotating fast - but I land on my knees every time!
Is this a normal progression? How do I know when to untuck?

Really make sure your bridge is good - if your shoulders are inflexible it will cause issues!
(I'm 35 and still trying for a walkover despite the fact I can do front handsprings and front tucks >.<)
Good luck.

When we first started competing I always had this crazy dream the night before competition, that a stunt went wrong (I'm a base, in my avatar that's me basing, back to the camera) and my flyer bonked me on the head with her knee or elbow and I was OK I just couldn't remember the routine...but I...
We've never had many supporters at competitions as we're a mainly adult team...but bigger programs have cheered for us when they realised this and we were super happy about it!
Agree with the posts that just say you get bad eggs everywhere, sadly.

What's a penny jump?
Ahh I remember wiglets...and the one for bunches (I heard them nicknamed "piglet wiglets"). My squad at the time CLAMOURED for them...I said no...and I love embarrassing them about it now :D

I ask for black shorts or track pants, basic white trainers and a squad t-shirt for practise. Total cost <$50.
It's not fair on kids who really can't afford it to demand all the high-cost stuff!

I don't mind the crossed feet full up - that's what we're trying - as the flyer still does a full rotation. We're doing it to two feet at the moment though.

See, I agree with the post that said "at some point it stops being a full up". For me - YMMV - it can only be a full up if the hips have rotated fully before the stunt "sets" into place. Otherwise it's just a rotating stunt, and you can do that at level 1...
I know, I'm picky. :)
