Answer 1

Dont worry i KNOW HOW TO TUMBLE. I used to be a cheerleader. Its good u already no the basics. I think something that is pretty hard to do is double back hand spring. Once you get one down then u pretty much could do 2 without getting up. It took me around 2 weeks to do a cart whell a handstand took around 4weeks and a split i was done in 4 days (but i am flexible).

Answer 2

well you sound pretty good right now. it depends on your age. if your a p*****n then your pretty good but need to pick up the pace. learning trix on the trampoline is good and then practicing them on mats is better. keep practicing practicing practicing and you'll b sure to be great

Answer 3

Well if u reallywant to tumble like 4reel tumble it shouldn't take u about a month. I took a couple of weeks because I strted out when I was like 5 or 4. From reading your page, it shouldn't take u long because I can tell tat you're a reayy gymnastic freak ( compliment ). All you have to do is go to ur coach or a really exp. Gymnast and pratice. Mak sure you do it on the mats 1st ( well i guess u already know that but there's nothing wrong with reminder) and arch your cank and land lightly on your feet to reducepressure. Well u know my e-mail address so feel free to e-mail me or IM me to switch tips.

B COOL, B SAFE AND HAVE FUNNNNNN  :)
