Most people think of jumping forward when doing a front flip. Instead, concentrate on jumping up instead, and throw your arms forward for momentum. So long as you jump high enough and spin quickly enough, your butt should be safe.

you need to pull up out of your shoulders and as soon as your hands hit the floor you need to push of it as hard as you can throwing your legs to the ground and pulling your hands up.Blocks are used to help you with this.Its when you Sasha into a hand stand and you try to bounce by pushing through your shoulders.If you don't get it ask a gym couch or a dance teacher they probaly know.

What is back front tuck?

A back tuck is a tumbling move. In a back tuck, the body is curled up tightly into a ball. The knees are as close to the chest as possible, with the hands clutching the knees. By "tucking" together tightly in this manner, the body is able to reach maximum angular velocity, thus minimizing the time required for the body to complete its revolution.

What is the difference between a back flip and a back tuck?

A back tuck or "standing" back tuck is done from a non-moving standing position. The tuck pulls the knees toward the chest, as you would do if you curled up into a ball. It helps spin you faster, and clears your feet from the floor. A back flip is done during a tumble pass and the legs are not tucked in. The tuck motion counteracts the built energy from the flip motion, as you re-extend your legs you are pushing back against the ground, so you negate the momentum. In a tumble pass, you need to keep that momentum. Tumblers typically learn to "throw" themselves to keep the momentum going for the next move. So a back flip doesn't tuck the legs into the body. The momentum is followed through in a single motion into the next move. If you pay attention to a tumble pass, a tumbler that tucks their backflip will have their feet contact the ground slightly longer after the flip and they seem to slow down. That's because the re-extension of the legs counters that momentum, and they have to use my leg strength and whole body power to throw themselves again to keep going. So the TL;DR is a back tuck is flipping backward, usually started and ended while standing still, and involves tucking the knees against the body during the flip. A back flip leaves the legs extended and is usually part of a tumble pass to help carry momentum as a "throw" move into the next more advanced skill, and the legs remain extended.
