About
There are three primary variations on the forward walkover that you will see (in compulsory and olde tyme routines, that is)—the regular forward walkover, the Tinsica, and the Tic-Toc. The Tinsica is sort of a hybrid with a cartwheel in that it involves alternate hand placement instead of placing both hands at the same time as in a walkover.
Where this name came from and who Tinsica was have apparently been lost to the sands of time, which is a shame.
The tic-toc is a front walkover where you stop toward the end and go back the other direction. Because tick tock goes the clock? I guess? That, or it’s named after Jane Tic-Toc.
