Arabian Double Layout
Fantastic skill. VERY difficult to put on the competition floor.
Recall Floor Olympic Champion Kyle Shewfelt was severely injured training Arabian Double Layout at the 2007 World Championships in Stuttgart.

Round-off drills

My preference is to teach beginners a straight leg hurdle, with late lunge. Tammy Biggs talks about the pros and cons of straight leg vs bent leg hurdle here.
Straight leg is cleaner, for sure.
My two favourite round-off drills could be added to Jason’s list.
• “cartoff” (cartwheel to run backwards)
• fly round-off on trampoline (feet together round-off)
Both are easy for beginners. Neither allows the kids to pike down.
