Front handspring step out, round off back handspring step out, round off back handspring, full twisting layout?

...

Bring it on.


A tumbling pass consists of at least two elements combined together. Often, the first one or two skills in the pass are simple, used solely to build up power for the last, most difficult skills. Tumbling passes are almost always completed on the diagonal of the floor as that gives the gymnast the most space to complete the pass. But sometimes, a side pass is performed, which is a tumbling pass performed anywhere on the floor besides the diagonal.

Back tumbling passes are the most common type of tumbling pass but which style of pass a gymnast performs really depends on her own preference and abilities. Going into a back tumbling pass a gymnast performs a round off — a cartwheel landed with two feet — to a back handspring and then into the harder flip. Some gymnasts that don’t have good back handsprings only do a round off into their harder skill.

A whip back is sometimes done in place of a back handspring. A whip is a back handspring with no hands or an arched back layout close to the ground. It serves the same purpose as a back handspring and allows the gymnast to gain speed going into a more difficult skill.

The last skill(s) in a tumbling are almost always the hardest. They can either be double flips where the gymnast does two complete rotations in the air before landing, twists, where the gymnast only flips once but twists anywhere from a half to a three and a half and flips and twists where the gymnast performs two rotations in the air as well as twisting on her axis. Back tumbling passes can also be done in combination where multiple skills are strung together by rebounding out of the previous skill into the next.
