video – gymnastics tutorial – back tuck

Jacob Small tipped me to a questionable acrobatic “tutorial”.

Interesting. It’s a good idea to have a tutorial formats on the internet, for sure.

But this one is not very good. <see it on Google Video>

A tutorial on backward somersault would take a trampoline coach about 60sec. This one is 11min.

The content is not great, as well. The spotting very poor. Trying to copy Joe Eigo is a lousy way to learn something. Why not go to Joe Eigo’s coach and ask him to teach you?

Tiger Woods has a coach. Michael Jordan had a coach. What is it that makes street acrobats think they are better off learning things on their own?
