Unique Passes




I have been cheering for a long time! My tryouts are in early August and we are required to have 3 tumbling passes. One is a rounded backhandspring back, and I have that no problem. They want original, unique passes that are difficult and good looking (possibly competition material!) I am an advanced gymnast.. so if you have any unique passes I could do, please let me know!
Thanks!!


Front tumbling elements that transition into typical back-tumbling skills, are a GREAT way to add "seemingly" high levels of difficulty and great looks. The CORE front tumbling skill is the FRONT handspring. If you don't have one, GET IT!For example:

1. Front Handspring step-out, round-off, backhandspring.  In this pass, the front-handspring is used to gain momentum and takes the place of a hurdle or run.

2. THREE front Handspring step-outs in a row.  (or three fast front-walk-overs in a row.

3. Standing Back-handspring STEP-OUT 1/2 twist into a cartwheel or round-off.

Have fun, Be safe, Push HARD!
