My passion, as many realize by now, is to see new skills performed in gymnastics. The sample page from my book Flip Outside The Box illustrates such a skill. For anyone who thinks it looks too difficult, watch this YouTube video I recently found of a male gymnast performing it. I must say that it would be easier to perform this skill as a dismount off of a balance beam as I've illustrated in my book. Enjoy! :)

They do that all the time in wushu. But I would love to see it as a beam dismount as illustrated in LittleLady's book!
 
I contacted USA Gymnastics in regard to the Butterfly Double Twist dismount off beam. The response about it being a legitimate dismount was, since it's not listed, and they haven't thought of it, it would have to be submitted to the RTC for evaluation. I hope this shines some light on this subject.
