About
All of your basic, non-twisting back saltos are placed within the same box in the code of points. A box called “get back to the 60s.”
These saltos are too simple to be included in a modern floor routine for value in and of themselves, but there are potential connections to be had by tacking a backward A (0.1) acro element on to the end of something more difficult.
Over the years, the most elegant choice has been to put a back layout stepout on the end of just everything, but doing an E (0.5) tumbling pass, pausing, and then doing a back tuck to try to get 0.2 connection bonus was all the rage for a hot second in there.
