Tips For Standing Tucks?

[Milly371]

I used to land my standing tucks all the time, do them no problem! The last couple practices I have literally been eating the mat every other time I've done it! ( and NO it does not taste good.) Any tips to landing?! Anything is useful! :)

Do a couple prep jumps and swing your arms up really fast.

When you're doing your tuck, the "set" is like a hole. Pull your legs through the hole.

Do not let go at the end.

The tighter you pull, the better your chances are at landing.

But the main thing is JUMP. Just jump like the prep jump (^ described up there ^) then pull your legs up when you're at the top of the jump. The flipping will happen naturally from there. Just pull and hold on. And try to overrotate. Don't punch your legs down or let go of your thighs when you're about to land, you've just landed, or you feel like you're going to bust.

Set with your arms by the side of your ear, the higher you set the longer time you have to flip. Pull your knees up to your chest not your chest to your knees, lastly squeeze your muscles you spin faster when your not dead weight.
