I'm curious about double backs on floor. How common are they in L9? How long did it take your DD/DS to get it on floor after getting it on tramp? Is this skill like flipping vaults where drills and various combinations of mat stacking go on for a long time before it's ready?
DD and another teammate are aggressively training it now. To hear her talk, she will have it sooner than later. Each week she makes progress with it - either on a different surface or mat combo or with less spot. This skill seems so scary to me! I'm kinda freaking out about it. There are a handful of skills that I think look so scary and because of DD's later start in the sport I never imagined she would get this far. But here I am. (The other skills that freak me out are back tuck on beam which she competed in L8, gainers which she's training, yurchenkos which she has and single bar release which I will never have to worry about).
I don't know if DD will be L8 or L9 next season. Her teammate who is also training them will for sure be L9. My DD is working other tumbling passes that can be used for L9 too so I'm just wondering what everyone's experience is with double backs.
