About
The layout stepout became one of the world’s most popular beam mounts starting in 2017 when it was upgraded from D (0.4) to E (0.5), an exceptionally high value that made it just too irresistible for many of the most acrobatically inclined beamers.

Even the best beamers in the world will have mayyyybe two elements in their whole routines of E or higher, so anyone who can do a layout stepout on the beam itself—which is most elite gymnasts—will look seriously at this mount as another opportunity to have a rarefied E.
