Happily, Donnell seems to have suffered no long term damage. He’s thrilled to have qualified for another World Championships, as well.

I coached at Woodward West several times over the years. Loved it.
And was disappointed when they dropped Artistic Gymnastics as one of their activities.
That fantastic facility close to Los Angeles is still busy, busy.
For example, there’s a Freestyle Trampoline Camp July 6-11, 2025 (week 4).
Not inexpensive at $1599 for the week. But you could get a $150 discount through the FTA.
If you don’t know Woodward West, definitely check their video.

FIRST — don’t train this skill until your 1/1 twisting Double Layout is consistent. Otherwise there is a risk you’ll make the twist too early.
But if that’s not a problem, I love this skill. Especially when straight or slightly arched. It’s very difficult to land, of course.
Many gymnasts can do it from Tumbling Trampoline. Very few from competition Floor.
