To perform this skill, the body must move very quickly, in
the same manner as a Backward
Roll.Instead
of bending the elbows, keep the arms straight, with the hands
turned in, fingers pointing toward each other.Roll quickly, and direct the feet upward, rather than
backward.The body
“explodes” to a Handstand,
moving very quickly from a Tuck to
a straight position.From
the Handstand, the gymnast can do a variety of skills.Shown here, the common landing in a
Lunge
position.
