How do you tuck in tighter? I've been trying this a lot and I just can't tuck tight and fast enough which is probably why I jump a little backwards and lose height. If you want to see the video check out my gym session thread.

This might actually be a conditioning problem rather than a technical problem. I don't know how conditioned you are, but the stronger your core is, the easier it is to tuck/torque/have sex.

I think your main problem is that you jump back too much. You kinda whip it over by extending your hips (arching), which is counterproductive to the tuck.

By jumping straight up and only slightly leaning back at the peak you should be able to tuck tighter.

Also the comboytuck would be a possibility to tuck tighter.

Hahahaha! Yes because there is a direct link between the amount of posts you have and your ability to trick.

In fact, I'm not even typing this. I am dictating it to my nurse, using a code comprised of a series of blinks.

Please do not remind me of my shitty tricking progression okay? I already waisted a couple of years trying to get aerials and 540 kicks. I visit this forum alot and happen to post alot too.

Sorry man, i just was asking. My intention wasnt offend you. Good luck with ur back tuck.
I reccomend u practise the backflip step by step. Do a lot of setups, then start trying the back motion with the arms on ur bed, then tuck in the air without going back, and then just go for it
