My First Double Backs!

These are the first double backs I've ever done over the floor.
They obviously still need plenty of work, but it's a start.

For some reason I always have trouble getting into a tight tuck when I do multiple flips. I don't think it helps being 6 feet tall and having heavy legs to pull in, but I can get in closer than that.

The set on take off was better on the last couple, but still not that great.

why dont you try grabbing under the knees or doing a cowboy tuck?

[grasseline]

Niiiiice alexis. You're gunna be deadly on floor if you get this one

What I noticed was that even when you fixed your set (that was the first obvious thing) you brought your hands down to your legs. This loses you some of your velocity. Bring your legs up to your hands, not the other way around, it will increase your backwards rotation speed.

But they're pretty good, grats on them =]

Dude that's awesome. My goal is double back. Don't be afraid to grab knees and really pull into a tighter ball especially on the second flip. That is where many people lost rotational velocity
