it helps to have a strong, coordinated spotter..... once you get a good spotter always fall backwards (if you can) and i guaranty youll almost always be caught

Try having sum1 u can count on!! Like since im only 13 my cousin that's 18 and was a cheerleader is my spotter. Cause not only do i trust her i know she knows what she is doing!! Hope this helps ya goodluck

Have someone who is way strong like he can lift you up strong but also have someone you can trust

The best spotters will be at gymnastics clubs. However, a really good one is hard to find. Yes you must trust them that is for sure, plus, they must be confident when they spot. If you go to a club watch some of the spotters spot. If they tend to turn their head, reach far out to spot, or stand at a full arms length or farther when they spot they are not confident spotters.

Personally, when tumbling, I would spot by standing almost right in front of the gymnast as they ran toward me to tumble. I would then move to their side as they got closer and would move with them down the tumbling matt as I spotted. They were no more then one foot away from me. In this position I have the strength to help them and keep them safe because they are close to the center of my body - my center of gravity.

I would risk life and limb to make sure they were safe - ALWAYS!!! You find a spotter that carries that type of attitude and you have a good spotter.
