I can only do a backtuck....

[Rain]

I can only do a back tuck on grass at least after I do a round off. I didn't think this would be a problem when I tried doing a standing back tuck but obviously it is. When I usually do my back tuck I just use the momentum I gained from running and the round off and I sort of just jump and lean back a bit. Depending on what I wanted to do I would just run faster do gain more momentum and do a combo or two and up until recently this always worked for some reason. But doing it like this for years has basically made it very hard for me to do one standing. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to break this habit?

learn a standing backtuck look at tuts..... get a spotter
jump throw your arms up look slightly above head level and spot something.bring your knees/hips up rotate and land..thats really it
