FIG MTC has officially announced new skills and old skills now “named” on this document (PDF)
From that PDF on your computer you can click on links to watch “unlisted” YouTube videos of the skill. Those are private to you.
Actually, it might be possible to embed the video IF you use the “unlisted” URL. Can you watch this?
That’s now the “Penev”. Seems you can competed both the Penev and double layout with 1/1 twist in the same routine.
Leave a comment if you’ve an opinion on the new list. Personally I’m disappointed to see YAMAWAKI 1/2 STRETCHED TO MIXED GRIP INTO BACK UPRISE TO HANDSTAND (MUNOZ) be awarded an E-part. Over-used, layout Yamawaki and variations should be devalued. And still might be, next Code.

Wait wait wait.
Tippelt 1/2 to upper-arm is a B? A B? That’s insane! Should be AT LEAST a C, and I’d probably give it a D.
Really like Whitlocks Rings Dismount.
Although a very risky skill at that….I think should be valued E.

I agree with Geoffrey, that makes no sense. If you’re basing it on skill progressions you’d at least have to be able to hit a tippelt before you could even think of doing it. After a period of stagnation people are finally starting to innovate on pbars again and I don’t understand why they would reward some new skills and essentially kill this one.
My personal fav is Zonderlands diam 5/4 to healy 5/4. So intricate, I wonder if he naturally performs each skill on a different arm. I always wanted to do that but I diamed and healied (those are verbs right?) on the same arm…although even if that wasn’t the case I doubt I’d have been able to hit that.
I love the randi off rings but I think a D is the correct value. Based on progressions a 1/1 and 3/2 is a C so it would make sense for a 2/1 and 5/2 to be a D. In my opinion a randi is actually easier than a 2/1. It’s really hard to rotate a 2/1 enough to land it. you pretty much land it on your ass or on your face but if you twist fast enough you can pull out the randi and sneak it around on less rotation than it would take to land a double full to your feet.
I don’t think twist timing should differentiate skills. It is a different skill in look and learning, but the problem is we will have half in half outs and have issues keeping track of which was which.
The Al Dayani (Tippelt half) is awesome, and most certainly more difficult than a Tippelt, so it should be a D or E. Someone in FIG has no brains!!!
Also, the russians in between the handles has a mistake. It is an E for 3, but only a C for 2 and a B for 1. It should be 1 value per russian, same as on the end, so it should be a D for 2 and C for 1. Stupid FIG.
@yourfacedude2008 Zonderland performs those skills on opposite arms because he twists the same direction on his root Diamodov and his root Healy. You mentioned you “diamed and healied” on the same arm, this means you twisted different directions on each skill – Your performance is actually more intricate than Zonderland’s
The piked moy with 1/2 twist should be rated a B, it is not a particularly good looking skill nor is it a progression to anything else. FIG rated a B to discourage its use.
I like the Al Dayani, it looks cool, like the tkatchev half on high bar. The FIG needs to promote new and original skills, not discourage them. It definitely should be an E.
Heh, Penev got layout double full named after himself…
