Hardy Fink – Lifetime Achievement Award

I can’t think of any other person in Gymnastics history who’s done as much for the sport.

World Acrobatic Society did a nice job trying to sum up his career in their Lifetime Achievement Awards VIDEO.

training Arabian Double Layout

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.
