That's so messed up. Even as a joke, no base should ever say that to a flyer.Trust is key. I used to do them fine and the one of the boys under me said he wasn't going to catch me so I no longer do tucks.
Once the first one is out of the way it's not scary anymore. Really make sure you ride your basket high.
My coach tried to get me back into doing them by saying "it's just like a tick on the ground"....no...not quite the same tbing

@GForce Thanks! I've never done a tuck on the ground so I wouldn't know.. My coach was saying stuff like, shins to forehead

My highest basket skill is a toe touch..Have you done a spotted tuck on the ground or maybe on a tramp? I hope i´m just missunderstanding your post, because there is more to a good and safe back tuck basket than shins to forehead. What is your highest basket skill you have done before?
A back tuck basket is not the hardest skill on earth. But if you want to progress to more difficult baskets after that (like x-out or layout baskets), your back tuck basket technique should be really good, and i find it easier to teach it right from the beginning than to fix bad habbits (like throwing your head back or not riding up) later.
I don't have access to a trampoline.. We're only at the gymnastics gym maybe once a month and I don't have a car.. Not sure when I have to do them by but probably tomorrow..I agree that tuck baskets are pretty easy, and you definitely don't need a tuck on the ground to do it. But I think you should at least experience the motion of a tuck before trying it in a basket. Do you have access to a trampoline? Can you have someone spot you (heavily, if necessary) on the ground first?
Does your coach have any sort of progression plan for you? It sounds to me like she is rushing you through skills.My highest basket skill is a toe touch..

Nope... She just wants me to go right to back tuck baskets.. She's rushed me with a lot of things and I've gotten them (such as a half-up to lib on regular and opposite legs and 2-2-1 pyramids)Does your coach have any sort of progression plan for you?

Maybe working ball-ups would help?
That's scary... I'm worried for you, don't let her push you too hard!Nope... She just wants me to go right to back tuck baskets.. She's rushed me with a lot of things and I've gotten them (such as a half-up to lib on regular and opposite legs and 2-2-1 pyramids)
