So ... To do the Chestbounce, I think it will be easier if you try it outside the line in first place
Try it with both sides, lock your knee on the line with your foot and ankle
Grab the line with your other hand the way you like most Position your body over the line, like this
But here's the hint: Try not to hit any bones. The line should be beneath the ribs and above the waist
If you can do it, the line will only hit muscles
Bend over the line... Get a little impulse so you can feel which side you balance better
You can do this, or the other way if you are not confident enough... Try it and choose a side
Now, there is two cases:
First case is: You're more confortable with your front foot on the line when chestbouncing
Consequently you will have to put your back hand on the line The hint is to try it first from the Buttbounce
Because if you try it from feet it will be more difficult
When you are buttbouncing, try to hit your front ankle on the line
Then you will slide it back through the line to land a chestbounce
Try to hold the line with your hand first so you won't need to get it in mid air, it's easier for beginners to hold it before leave the buttbounce
And slide your ankle...
Second case: If you prefer your back foot on the line you will put your front hand to do the chestbounce
Try to get a little bit more air because you will need to get both of your legs to the other side Like this
Bring both of your knees directed to your chest like this and land the chestbounce
You can have the same hint: Before leaving the line from the buttbounce, hold the line with your hand
It will improve your balance if you do this To have the line always in direct contact
In this second case Chestbounce. You can train it by just trying to get to the other side of the line
Because the difficult part of this trick is to get your feet above the line
So you will hold the line, get a little air, Bring your knee to your chest and land standing on the other side
You may also want to bend over the line the get used to it....
You will repeat it until you're confident... Because if you can do it, then you just need to bring your leg to the line and you are already chestbouncing
Now a tip for both the sides: After you are a little bit more confident try to get a little bit more air and not hold the line before leaving the buttbounce
Wait a little bit, get some air... CHEST! BUTT!
Starting off the buttbounce is easier because you're already aligned to the line
and you have less height... because if you try it up from here...
the fall is a bit bigger...
