Double back off

C value skill

• The gymnast should be able to do a back off onto mats stacked near bar height.
• Work back 1 1/4 to stacked mats. An open release is important. There is a tendency to rush the skill and tuck before the bars are released.
• Swing and block. The swing from handstand should initiate by pushing away as if to do a giant, then bring the shoulders forward, shrug throught the bottom and pop as the bars are released.
