Split jump- straight jump

Back tuck dismount
I know she needs a B skill - since she’s...

They have told the whole team they will be evaluated though?? And nothing has been said about different skills needed or any of the skills they are expecting. I could somewhat...

I am very confused as I have not heard of...
