Weird question:

Can a back extension roll be used as a beam mount? The gymnast would stand on the floor, back to the beam, and then do a back extension roll to handstand and then lay their stomach on the beam to get to front support on the beam.

The reason I ask is one of my gymnasts wants it and I’ve never considered it before.
 
I’ve never seen that, but I’ve seen girls cartwheel into a side handstand over the beam, and a kick up into handstand over the side of the beam. So I don’t see how this would be not allowed if those are?
