How long will it take for me to get good at tumbling?

How long did it take you to get your backspring/ Other tumbling history?

• So i joined an all star cheer team this year without any tumbling. they offer tumbling classes and stuff and i do tumbling once a week and during the summer i'm gonna do it atleast twice a week maybe even 3 times. my coach keeps asking me if i have a backhandspring yet and if i'm close yet and i keep telling her i'm not close at all. we barely work on backhandsprings in my class because i came in without even a cartwheel or a bridge. i have now a cartwheel and a bridge and we are working and roundoffs and increasing my back flexibility by working on bridges more and trying to kickover from them. so please help me by just answering these questions below just so i can get an idea on about how long it took some people to get certain skills 1. when you started tumbling what did you have before you even started? (nothing, cartwheel, bridge, back walkover, front walkover, ect.) 2. how long did it take you to get a backhand spring? 3. how often did you practice tumbling to get that backhand spring (did you take a class once a week, at practice did you just work on it on your own, just tell me what it took for you to get it) 4. what other skills do you have and how long did it take you to get them ( round off two backhandspings took you 3 months after you got the backhandspring, you got a round off backhand spring tuck a year after tumbling, you got a layout 4 months after you a got tuck, ect) 5. list all your skills you have know and how long you've tumbling. share anything else you have to say, i just want to know how long it takes some people to get certain skills

• Answer:

  1. Nothing! 2. A few months but it depends on the person, I know people who learned in 2 weeks and people who learned in a year. 3. When I got it I took one one hour class a week but now I take two classes a week plus practice at cheer so like more than 8 hours 4. Round-off back handspring series, a month or so. Round-off tuck a month and a half after that. And round-off back handspring tuck about two months after that. Round-off back layout a little after my tuck 5. round-off back handspring standing back handspring backhandspring series round-off tuck round-off layout standing tuck round-off back handspring tuck And I have been tumbling for 4 years. Hope this helped!
