I have high school tryouts soon. I'm hoping to make varsity this year (I was on JV last year due to my lack of tumbling. This year, I have to throw my back handspring at tryouts, because it will earn me a higher score and I'll have a higher chance of making varsity. The only problem is, they roll out mats on top of the basketball floor, and I've only ever dont my backhandspring on spring floor. Does the dead mat affect tumbling? And if it does, are there any ways I can condition so my back handspring isn't bad on the dead floor? Thanks!
