Front Tumbling.....
Most people think front tumbling is harder but I'm definitely a front tumbler. I didn't find this out until like last year in level 7, when I got my front handspring front tuck down. Never missed it since! HAHA! I wanna sometime in the future do like front handspring front pike front tuck......

I'm kinda both, but when I look at it I think I'm/I was a better front tumbler because that came more naturally to me.

definitely back tumbling. I feel like I have more power and control, and my brain has problems dealing with front tumbling for some reason. I've been trying to learn a front handspring- layout twist lately, but I get so messed up I start twisting in the FRONT HANDSPRING lol its crazy. When I can get it down, front tumbling is easy, but my mind has a hard time coping with it

btw, any tips on that front twisting thing? It is seriously driving me crazy.

I like both ways of tumbling but I am a stronger back tumbler!! I love tumbling in general!

[BreezywithSpeed]

i can do either no problem but i seem to like back more. i feel like i can control myself more then when i go frontwards. instead of going backwards and not knowing where i am, its when i go forwards i have a problem.

I'm a better back tumbler - probably because for me it makes it a lot easier to see the floor when you're coming out of a skill - which you can't do in front tumbling.

Front tumbling was my favorite. I was a good tumbler in general...but, i could front tumble forever. It was my favorite and just felt normal. I used to wish I could just do a ton of front tumbling instead of back. My coach thought I was crazy because it's a blind landing but, it just felt right.

I'm better going forward. all my passes are front passes. back passes hurt my body too bad! lol
