Sorry, I was talking more about the front aerial-bhs and yes, your dd is correct. In some ways, it is more difficult but changing directions is not as fluid to the eyes, which is the concern for judges. Watch some videos of front aerials-bhs and you will see. It is also very hard to keep that connection since you have to continue the front aerial arm swing and then reverse it, without moving out of form with arms/feet. Some people like this combination. Others think they are too disjointed.That's interesting, @gymgal. I had not heard of that. My dd tells me that with a side aerial + BHS, it can be harder to make the connection b/c the flight skill is first, and if you don't set it up well you can't do the BHS, whereas with a BHS+LOSO a BHS is pretty easy to do well and consistently. No idea if they are worth different amounts, though.
It’s evaluated the same. Though she’ll get 3 tenths total bonus in L10 instead of the 1 tenth she got in L9.Here is another question: if one did front aerial + BHS in L9 without incident, would the same routine earn the connection credit in L10? Or is the bar higher? As an aside, my dd hit this connection successfully at every meet for 1.5 seasons of L9, and then at the end of the season mentioned that it was a miracle she had done so. Such a funny and fascinating sport!
It is very difficult to make this connection smoothly so that there are no deductions. My dd used a front toss-bhs as a connection and she had the bhs-blo as a back-up in case she couldn't connect the first. She would pause, re-pose, and then flip the bhs-blo. Eventual goal was to flip all three in the connection together. I don't think she has gotten there in competition yet.Here is another question: if one did front aerial + BHS in L9 without incident, would the same routine earn the connection credit in L10?
