What’s the story behind the skill at 1:25? It’s not in FIG; is that because it’s banned, or because it has yet to be done at an international competition?

thanks so much for posting my video on here! to Geoff Taucer – i think that was a collegiate gymnast competing that skill, and i don’t think it’s ever been competed internationally and I don’t think it’s been banned as far as i know…

thanks again!

I assume you are talking about the back uprise to back somersault. And regrasp.

We’ve always called that a “Jonah Back”. (Not sure where that slang term came from.)
