back tuck is like just a normal back flip... back hand spring is a must..... trust yourself.... it took me like 4 days straight to trust myself like that.... just got full out once... then you will correct yourself......

Well to be a good cheerleader you have to defentnly know how to do a back hand spring.When you nail down the backhandspring, you can do a round off and tj=hen end with a backhand spring. Here are steps to do a back hand spring:
(1) Start by standing with your feet together and your arms straight above your head.
(2) Swing your arms down and behind you as you bend your knees and sit back. The position your knees should be in is similar to that as if you were sitting in a chair.
(3) Using the backward momentum, swing your arms up and back above your head as you extend your legs and push off the ground. At this point you should be arching your back as you are in mid-air, and diving towards your hands.
(4) Keep your arms straight as they come in contact with the ground. Your shoulders should also be tight and squeezed towards your ears. Your feet are still behind you, with your back still arched.
(5) Once your hands hit the ground, push through with your shoulders and snap your body into a hollow body position.
(6) Remaining in the hollow-body position, drive your feet to the ground and lift your chest to maintain the hollow position.
Some bad habits to avoid and tips to make it easier:
As you sit back to go into the back handspring, your knees should not bend more than 90 degrees. Your chest may bend forward a little, but not too far.
A back handspring should go backwards as well as up. Be careful not to go straight up. Use the force from swinging your arms to go backwards.
In an ideal back handspring, your hands should be turned in towards one another.
Although you are arching in the pre-flight of the flip-flop, your body should still be tight, and not limp. Also be careful not to arch too much.
When you start working flip-flop series, there is the tendency to pike down before going into the next flip-flop, but that only slows down the series. Stay hollow.

minimum 15. maximum 30. Be able to stunt and do a solid back flip. Be loud and confident. Show the judges your prepared and up for anything.
