I can easily do Cartwheel- Back Handspring step out and Back Handspring step out Series.
And of course I have a Standing Back Handspring step out and a standing Back Tuck.
I wanted to add a Back Tuck after the Back Handspring step out or the Cartwheel and now I have a question.
I am having a very hard time adding a tuck after a back handspring step out or a cartwheel.
Even on tumble track, I find it really hard to get in my second leg in after the back handspring and jump straight up and get the height for a nice high tuck that doesn't travel too much back. I actually think that a back handspring step out layout step out is easier, because all you have to do is doing the same as you would in a second back handspring, just without hands. I think those "whipping back" skills are easier on the vestibular.
My standing back tucks are really good, I do not travel back at all when I do them on floor, only when I do them on beam I travel back a few inches, but I still have good height and tucking position. I just think that "whipping" back is easier.
For example, I once played around with standing pikes/layouts.
Mine looked like this:
not like that:
I don't know if it is a personal preference thing or if it is easier in general. I just feel a lot more comfortable with "whipping" back, although my tucks are great. Sometimes I even get dizzy in my head before I am doing a back tuck and I really need to concentrate on jumping straight up and looking at one point or otherwise I would whip my back tuck.
So long story short, what are your experiences with those skills and do you think a back handspring back tuck or back handspring layout step out is easier?
