Most of the time it earns you more points when you know your back handsprings and especially your back tuck so i’d say you should learn those if you havent already. And for flyers its mostly the lightest people.

    any tumbling is good. and your young, and short, like me! so you might be a flyer. but that all depends on how you would do in the air, also you might become a base if you are stronger. it really just depends. its hard to tell if your going to be a flyer or not.
