What are your favorite and worst Tumbles ??

[Dave]

Calling all Tumblers or anyone mad enough to try tumbling what are your favourite tumbles ??????
Also what tumbles do you totally dislike ???


Not entirely sure what my favourite tumbles are at present but i dislike any tumble that has a Straight back Half twist walkout in it ! ie: National Level 3 Tumble 2..... Round off flick flick Straight back half twist round off flick half turn handspring .... I hate this dam tumble !!!!

I'm MA, with floor not being my favourite or best piece but still, I like forward tumbles; handspring straight front, straight front 3/2 twist is fun on rare occasions when I can do it. My favourite tumble I've ever seen in MA was probably round-off, whip back, full in back out straight, punch front 7/4 roll-out. Amazing! Or any Shewfelt combination tumble, such as round-off, whip back, straight back 3/2 twist, straight front 1/1 twist, punch front 7/4 roll-out. He looks like he does everyone effortlessly.

OK this was a long time ago but my favourite tumble used to be coming back from the pub and seeing how many flicks I could do across any green bits. I stopped doing this when I started landing on my head more often than my hands:D

Actually in the gym my biggest tumble was r/off, flick, whip back..which wasn't bad at the time! I'm always really impressed by tumbling and would love a go on a proper track (don't think I'd be very impressive though).

Lucy,
I remeber doing them sorts of things when drunk ( im talking a good 3-4 years ago ) i used to get plastered when out with mates and do back somersaults in the pub and clubs.... i once did round 12 flicks while totally hammered on the way home one morning... But i stopped doing this sort of outrageous behaviour when i realised i wanted to re-enter the sport.....

When i was younger my favourite tumbles used to be when my coach just made up tumbles for fun to see if we could do them, we used to have mini competitions on who could do them..... Was great fun
