About
The back 3.5 is among the very rarest of the floor tumbling elements. It is only ever attempted by the most comfortable twisters, and even they will often incur too large a deduction for Full Corkscrew Legs (official classification) to make it worth performing.
At F (0.6), the back 3.5 is criminally undervalued with respect to its difficulty, so even those who can twist quickly with minimal deductions are going to gravitate toward the far more lucrative double saltos that can garner 8, 9, and 10 tenths instead of a measly 6.
