WAG Is a Back walkover Allowed?

[Stephanie Bourne]

Is a back walkover allowed in a Xcel Silver beam routine?

 

[mom2three]

Yes.. Here anyway, not sure if it differs by region or if it's all the same now?

 

[Stephanie Bourne]

We're in Region 7.

Look on the usag website under xcel it has a chart which lists the skills allowed for each level

I have looked at that list but it still doesn't answer my question. It says "Any “A” VP listed in Code, Any “B” dance VP and Any Skills listed on the Xcel
Silver Chart are allowed." AND No “B” acro VP or “C” or higher VP are allowed. So I guess then my question is then is a back walkover an "A", "B" or "C" VP?

Assuming that the Xcel code isn't super different than the JO code as far as VPs..it's an A. So yes it's allowed.

Somebody correct me if wrong though. I haven't even seen the Xcel code yet.

It is allowed in Silver. I have seen plenty of girls do it.
Back walkover, Handstand, 3/4 handstand, or cartwheel are the most common acro skills in Silver.
A "B" skill would be like a back handspring, roundoff on the beam, or dive cartwheel.

it's allowed and it's an "A".

It is allowed in silver, but not bronze even though it's an A
