“Blind” change is a terrible name.
More accurate would be …
Reach under turn with hop change of support hand, to reach under.
Could be a progression for hop 1/1.
That’s a new video from Italian gymnast Emily Armi.

Canadian Championships 2013.
Ariel Crawford, SK, National Open – performing her original mount (Canadian “D”) Press to 1-arm handstand full pirouette hip circle — at Carleton University.
Day 2 we waited to watch Ariel’s cool routine including this very cool mount.
… She left out the backward hip circle. 😦
She’d been told after Day 1 it was a big deduction.
Some sort of nonsense about her “elbows being bent on backward hip circle“.
I’d ask the Judges to show us a video of a gymnast doing that skill with straight elbows. It’s impossible.
Check the elbows on some similar skills including backward hip circle.

Here’s Aerials FINALS routine, with the back hip circle taken out. (VIDEO)
Thank TrishaG for links to those videos.
Men’s judges are far stronger at evaluating new elements during competition. They understand advanced skills better.
