About
A glorious submission in the category of do-nothing mounts, the squat through is generally considered the easiest, simplest, most forgettable mount of them all.
The rules state that you must begin your beam routine with a recognized mount that exists for value in the code of points. If fulfilling that is your only goal, then the squat through it for you. Side reason: if you keep falling on your good mount and you need to just get on the beam without disappearing next time, a temporary squat through is also for you. The stoop through at least requires keeping the legs straight, so that’s harder and also provides an opportunity for it to look good.
That’s not to say these mounts carry no risk. People have fallen on them before, and it’s great every time.
