About
The front handspring with leg change in flight is one of those skills where you’re like, “Oh. That exists? Cool?” It’s sort of a skill without a home because the front handspring is fundamentally an interstitial skill, used to link skills or work into a harder skills, yet this is almost a little too fancy for an interstitial skill. If the goal is to work into a front tuck, you know, keep it simple. And yet valued at C for an acro element, it’s not really worth enough to be a counting SKILL in its own right.

Value
C

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
