About
Rather than be relegated to the dusty back rooms of gymnastics memory, the Luo is famous as being the element that tore Chellsie Memmel’s shoulders off over a series of years. Maybe that gives us a hint as to why we haven’t seen it since despite its E value. Even the L-grip queens shy away from this one.

This skill does have the unique distinction of containing a caveat to the typical Handstand Nazi expectations in that a deviation from handstand position at the end of the skill is allowed. Begrudgingly.

You’ll mostly have seen this skill called a jam or jam to handstand, though if you want to be all official about it, it’s the Luo.
