Hello! I play in a band and want to learn how to do a few flips for performances.

I've done martial arts and parkour for a decent amount of years and recently joined a gymnastics club to try to learn flips. I can do basic tricks, like a rubber band kip up, dive rolls, cartwheels, tornado kicks, and I've started to do many drills to prepare for a back tuck on ground (hopefully by the end of the week!). I was wondering what tricks you guys think I should try learning. Right now my goal is to get at least a back tuck, front tuck and side flip by September, which is my next gig.

I also want to continue deeper into tricking, learning more moves like corks and baranis, but I'm not sure if gymnastics is the right place to continue at if I want to develop more, especially because from december to may they prioritize competiting, meaning I wouldn't be able to be coached by them for a while.

If you have any advice, it'd be much appreciated!
