Did I hear he missed it in the competition?

I believe he sat it down in prelims and put his hands down in finals.

Does anyone know what value they’re giving it?

I think they mean “successfully” as in not crashing. Because like WS says, he didn’t make it in competition and he rolls out/puts hands down in both of these in the video. Still FREAKIN’ DOPE!

This was submitted to the National Gymnastics Judging Association (USA) and was given an E rating.

E??? Double pike is an E, this needs to be an F

Double front with a 1/2 is already undervalued — if this was really given an E value, it’s undervalued as well. Should be at least an F.
