If you are doing tumbling before it, such as a back hand spring, or if your just doing it standing, when it comes to the tuck these are the steps to follow.

1.) Do some warm-ups first. Like, jumping as high in the air as you can with your arms up to get the feel of where you stop in the air.

2.) When it comes to doing the flip, start with your arms up. Keeping your chest up use your arms to help swing you into the air.

3.) When you get to the highest point of your jump you will bring your knees to your chest and rotate backwards.

Keep in mind this flip will go fast and it does always happen the first time.

Make sure you have someone who knows what they are doing spotting you.

You can't just make yourself rotate backwards in mid-air. You have to initiate the rotation in pushing off the floor by pushing your hips forwards. Then when you tuck it speeds the rotation up.

Gymnasts but mainly Cheerleaders throw full twists. To do them...you need to have a PERFECT layout. Or at least a very good one. You start the same as you would for a layout. Once you are in the air...twist your arms whichever way you feel more comfortable. Your body will twist naturally.

in order to do a back tuck you will need a gymnastics or cheer mat, or a spring floor and a coach or someone spotting you. Then u go into a position where tyou "sit" in a chair and you arch your back and jump off your feet and tuck into a ball and rotate. Once you rotate all the way around spot your feet and stick the landing. remember before you go it is easier if you spot something so you dont throw your head back. if oyu throw your head back it will not be as good and you may get hurt.

To do a backwards roll, you need to start off by standing with your hands in the air. Then crouch down and put our hands on your shoulders palms up. Then roll backwards. Tuck your head in and with your hands push yourself up back into a standing position!

Hope this helps!

In gymnastics, for sure you learn a round-off to back handspring, for back tuck. This is part of a level 6 skill. You should have your round-off back handspring from level 4. The back tuck is the harder part. You start to practice back tucks in level 5 or 6, it depends. To get a back tuck, after completing your back handspring jump really high in the air and tuck back as fast as you can. It might seem scary at first because you are just in the air, but don't panic about it. Stay calm and practice and you will get it eventually. Your coach will also be spotting you the first few times until you are confident about doing it. I hope this helped.

First, you do a cartweel and land with two feet. Next, you do a backflip and tuck.

It depends. Do you mean the front or back tuck where you basically flip over? or do you mean the tuck jump where you bring your knees up to your chest?

Does height affect how long a back handspring is?

if you do less, then your back tuck will be higher, because you will be less tired. the more back handsprings you do, the tireder you get, and the worse your back tuck will be. *coming from a level 7 gymnast* Ignore that, it's completely wrong. The more back handsprings you do increases your power, thus making a tuck, layout, full, ect. higher and easier.
