About
Like the front saltos, the back saltos and their 1/2-twisting counterparts have all been lumped together in a group “we have to put this in here but we don’t want you to do it, so it’s an A” box. The difference between these and the front saltos is that the back layout is also categorized among the rabble, while the front layout is considered a step above.

Value
A
