Only 15 years old, Brandon was one of the big highlights of Winter Cup prelims. He finished 8th AA with 80.750.

If you hate Men’s FX cuz it’s ugly, check Yul. Some nice stuff.

I’d love to see Eddie compete for USA in Worlds 2017. He’d have a shot at both FX and Vault finals.

are Arabians forwards or backwards tumbling?

WAG considers them forward (SALTOS FORWARD & SIDEWARD). MAG backward. It’s silly that the two Technical committees can’t agree.

The takeoff is more critical than the landing position in my opinion. Arabians are much more a backwards tumbling skill than forwards.
