Community Q&A

This well explained article will teach you how to do a running front tuck in no time, but without a spotter. You will need a soft surface like a cheese mat, a mattress, grass, probably, or a trampoline for better. Lets get started!


  1. 1
    First, start practicing with a straight jump, a front somersault, and try jumping and rolling into a somersault.
  2. 2
    Next, try jumping and rolling into a somersault about 6 or 8 more times.
  3. 3
    Once you get the hang of that, run and do a straight jump. This will start getting you prepared for your running front tuck.
  4. 4
    Now, run, but try a few front handsprings to practice some more, about 6 or 8.
  5. 5
    After the front handsprings, (you might need a trampoline or a mattress for this step) now for the front tuck.
  6. 6
    Before you start running into your front tuck, try practicing some more with front somersaults, front handsprings, running into a front somersault, any practicing skill that was explained earlier.
  7. 7
    Now the moment we have all been waiting for... The front tuck!
  8. 8
    Run and run (about a 3 to 4 step run) and jump into the air and straight jump form and then air front somersault!
