About
Of all the elements on floor exercise, none is more common than the round-off, the instigator of all back tumbling series.

Even for gymnasts whose backs are too made-entirely-of-eggshells to do back handsprings anymore once they get to college, they’re still doing round-offs directly into their tumbling passes. I can’t think of a floor routine that doesn’t include a round-off.

You know someone doesn’t belong if they call this a cartwheel. GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE.
