95.Hi, my name is Jordan Dahl. We're talking about Intermediate Floor Gymnastics. And the next thing I want to talk about was a standing backhand spring back tuck. Again, this is considered more of a drill than an actual tumbling pass. But it can really help your technique in your running tumbling. The basic fundamentals of it are pretty much the same. The only thing that you really need to worry about is your power start. You need to make sure that you are giving yourself enough power and speed to complete the drill safely. And the way I do this, start with your arms up. Up, just parallel to each other at about chest height. You can from there, swing them down. And with as much power as you can, reach straight back in to that backhand spring position. With your head following your arms back. Your arms right back by your ears. Make sure you get into that position right from that power hurdle. You reach back, you want to swing your legs down a little bit faster than you normally would, without breaking that technique of a nice long reach. Once your legs come down, you'll use that rebound. Get straight up into that tuck. Using that nice high set. Again, just like with your combination tumbling, you don't want to make this two separate tricks. You want to make sure you're going, keeping the flow of the drill going. So that it looks nice and smooth. Alright, so let's talk through that one more time. You're starting, making sure that you're visualizing it in your mind, of course. Seeing every aspect of it making sure that your body is under your control. Every part is in the proper position, doing the proper technique. You start off with your arms straight up making sure your back is nice and straight. You reach down; you're going to swing harder that you normally would. So that you ensure that you have the proper power. Enough power to get into that. From there, you'll reach back. You're going to stay in nice position but still making sure your legs are swinging down a little harder than normal. To make sure you have enough power to complete the drill. Once your legs come down, again landing straight up, so you can go right into that nice high tuck position. Sitting up, going around, landing. The only thing you really need to worry about is making sure you're getting enough power out of your back hand spring. Because if you do, your tuck should be just fine.
