Eyes open! A visual reinactment of my 2 to tuck would be, Wall...ground...wall...ground...walllll...spot to land =)
 
Mine are open but sometimes I just see like a blur like when working on fulls, but generally i can see pretty well, but I try mt to think about it, it messes with my brain too much.
 
My eyes are always open butni've never been consciously awarenofnwhat I'm seeing in the moment. Like when I think back i could tell you, but when it's happening I just know that I see things. Lol.
I have really good spatial awareness and awareness of my body placement from gymnastics and dance?
I remember when I first started learning dulls (standing and running/standing series) I kept doubling on accident and my coach kept telling me to control myself and stop, whichnindid successfully about twice lol, but the more I was doing it the more I became able to think back and remember what I was seeing while tumbling. Then I realized that it was all because when I would stop, i wasn't conciously aware when it was happening, but i wasn't anywhere near the ground yet. And as a result even though I was like okay did one now stop. My body was like oh no wait, just kidding!
But always keep your eyes open. All the senses work together. I know I always have listened to the people talking around me when I tumble which in this case helped me because she was saying something to me that had me trying really hard to stop and had I not been so focused at that moment I wouldn't have realized that.
That whole "listening to people" has gotten me in trouble before though. Lol
Basically keep your eyes open, but don't think about keeping your eyes open case that for me thinking about little things like that makes me feel off.
 
Haha CP tumbles with her eyes closed AND puffs her cheeks up because she is holding her breath. Her action shots were ridiculously hilarious!! She was like a little puffer fish!

i hold my breath when i do everything (stunt, jump, tumble, EVERYTHING).. but i don't puff my cheeks out. funniest part is, i've been in gymnastics/cheer for 14 years and i just realized it last season. haha
