What I find most interesting about this routine – other than the amazingly awesome tumbling – is that Mckayla performs a ‘RIGHT Hand down first roundoff’, then performs a 1 1/2 twist to the LEFT and steps out of it into a ‘RIGHT Hand down first roundoff’.

For me, this is an unconventional way of performing the pass and awesome to see! 99% of gymnast’s performing this 1 1/2 through to another acrobatic element for Indirect Connection, will perform a Right Hand down first roundoff, into a Right twisting 1 1/2 in order for the ‘step out’ to flow easily… Mckayla has broken this mold – Awesome stuff and kudos to her coaching staff and ultimately her!

What is this worth in Elite like score wise? D score i guess or whatever they call it now.

I’m calculating 6.5, if she gets credit for all of what her dance moves appear to be- it looks like she’s doing a switch side 1/2 and a tour jete full, but from the angle I’m not sure they are fully around.

Quite frankly, I’m of the opinion the double double layout is a risk not worth taking.

Fiest Bowl??? What a strange name for a competition!

I’m sure her motivation is to have the skill NAMED the Skinner. :-)

Didn’t Kristen Maloney already do it?

Maloney only performed a full twisting double layout I believe.

I seem to remember she went for lay double double once or twice, but can’t remember what the comp was.
