Do I sound like a good tumbler? Also, do u think I could make it for 8th grade middle school cheer next year?

what the frig is a back bend? u mean a back walkover or just a normal bridge? and depends on the level of difficulty the cheer team your trying out for is. if your in the states alot of highschool teams have full team tumbling like backhandsprings and tucks. ask a coach at the school you want to tryout about tumbling requirements if there are any or what you should learn. i think if you have a backhandspring or walkover your golden. most people say back handsprings are easier then walkovers. and if you have your backhandsprings and tucks you usually have your fronts because they are generally easier. you sound good but you could improve. (: and just being a tumbler is good but you should work on stretching or something if you want to top. stretch your scorp heel bow scale air-bask and such. if u wanna base make sure you have good leg muscle and coordination arm muscle is important to but the work is mostly in the legs. thirds also have to be sturdy to but they are taller than bases.
