![]() This past week, I have tried to do a back flip on the ground. I had a mattress behind me to protect me from injury. My mom was also spotting me to prevent injury. The mattress really helped because I was not afraid of getting hurt. The mattress also helped because I was able to do more attempts to try to land it. Unfortunately, I never landed the back flip this week. The main problem I had was not getting the full rotation in. Most of the time I was landing on my knees or my stomach. So I decided to research online how to get the full rotation in. By researching for a bit I got an answer, I need to tuck harder. A tuck is when you bring your legs close to your stomach. By doing this I should be able to get all the way around and land on my feet instead of landing on my knees. While I was researching I found a good stretch to do so my tucks will be good. the stretch is called a tuck jump. To do a tuck jump you jump in the air, bring your knees to your chest and wrap your arms around your knees. This stretch gets your body familiar with tucking so when you go to do the flip your body will remember to tuck. This week I plan on practicing tuck jumps then I am going to see if I can land one. I plan on having 2 videos out this week on my video page. So make sure you come back later this week to see if I landed my first back flip.
