I have been cheering for a long time! My tryouts are in early August and we are required to have 3 tumbling passes. One is a rounded back handspring back, and I have that no problem. They want original, unique passes that are difficult and good looking (possibly competition material!) I am an advanced gymnast.. so if you have any unique passes I could do, please let me know!
Thanks!!
Front tumbling elements that transition into typical back-tumbling skills are a GREAT way to add "seemingly" high levels of difficulty and great looks. The CORE front tumbling skill is the FRONT handspring. If you don't have one, GET IT! For example:
1. Front Handspring step out, round-off, back handspring. In this pass, the front-handspring is used to gain momentum and takes the place of a hurdle or run.
2. THREE front Handspring step-outs in a row. (or three fast front-walk-overs in a row.
3. Standing Back-handspring STEP-OUT 1/2 twist into a cartwheel or round-off.
Have fun, Be safe, Push HARD!
