Front Tuck vs. Back Tuck

[mr jones]

learning to do a front and backflip in those 2 months will make you be able to teach yourself variations with minimal fear

[dlsso]

Learn how to do a roundoff correctly. This will help your backflip variations immensely.

KICK!

ooooooooooor you could learn some front tulmbing skills and be cooler.

I would say handsprings are paramount before flips, but, whatever floats your boat.

What's a ninja flip?

How does learning the front tuck (regular knee bent) help with any front tricking skills? Does the webster require you to learn the front flip?

I got short time there only 2 hrs. each week.. so I'm trying to pritorize..

Do you have any other suggestions on what basic tumbling skills I should learn other than rolls, handstands, cartwheels, roundoffs, to help in tricking?

Thanks.

I type really fast, it only took like 3 minutes to think that up. And I was just showing him a general idea of the variants of moves.

Its a backflip, but you go from sitting into it, or from crouching into it.

[Guru]

you have to land in the same position too.
