i can land my back tuck pretty much consistently now, but when i land, my legs are never straight like they should be. im pretty sure im jumping as high as i freakin can, and i know im tucking at the right moment, yet i still land with bent legs.
---ill try to upload a video
EDIT: clip of me doing one, notice how i dont land upright like i should http://youtube.com/watch?v=CFa4coEdaPo
Hmm, theres a couple things that could be wrong, are you jumping straight up? Be sure your not jumping back, that eliminates alot of air. Also tuck HARD. When i was first learning this move i would give a half assed tuck and you cant land it like that. Also be sure that you hold the tuck in until you land. Eventaully you can come out of the tuck in the air, but for now until your feet actaully hit the ground, pull the legs in the whole time. So yeah. try these things, see if they work....
and post a vid! >=]

That's nice form you've got going there. Just tuck harder, and faster. And reach for the ground when you get round.
screw all of you guys that can do backflips

It actually just comes with practice. Give it time, it'll come.
