I was just wondering what some A jumps on beam are and whether a tuck jump is considered an A jump and do you know of any other A jumps?
 
Wolf jump (legs need to be above horizontal for no deduction)
Change wolf
Pike jump
Tuck jump 1/2
Cat leap 1/2
Sissone
Split jump
Straddle pike jump

Is this for a requirement or bonus?
 
Well my problem is that I can split leap wolf jump no bonus but my coach wants me to split change which I can do, but when i land it i land on my right foot put my left in front and jump problem comes when I wolf jump I wolf jump with my right leg straight so i have to effectively swap legs but i think this might be a problem for every thing so i will just have to learn it that way
 
I thought tuck jump 1/2 and pike jumps were B's! I think my gym needs a new CoP...
 
Split change, split leap?
I'll give you a tip, when you construct your routine, have a back up plan for if you miss your leap/jump connection. So if you are doing split change, split jump and wobble after your change, add a wolf jump to your split jump for example.
