Back Tuck
A "Back Tuck" is a gymnastics and cheerleading move where an athlete performs a backward somersault in the air. The performer jumps off the ground, tucks their knees to their chest, and rotates backward before landing on their feet. This skill requires strength, coordination, and proper technique to execute safely.
To successfully perform a Back Tuck, athletes often practice on a trampoline or with a spotter. It is essential to develop a strong foundation in basic skills, such as back handsprings and front flips, before attempting this advanced maneuver. Proper training helps reduce the risk of injury.
