Gymnasts Double Lay tips?

["CreativeUsername"]

For the record I'm a cheerleader not a gymnast but this forum was recommended to me by some people on reddit for tips on high level skills. Anyway's that's all.

It looked pretty good! But if you wanted to make it cleaner I say keep your knees glued together during the ROBH and keep your legs straight and together in the double lay. Otherwise it looked great!

It looks pretty good. If you want to improve the short landing, I see room for improvement in 1. extending the legs fully when punching the backhandspring 2. overall body tightness throughout the setup and the double lay itself to preserve more of the rotational energy you've already generated. I've never taught a double layout; just my 2 cents.

I am absolutely nowhere around this level, but to those that are I'm also wondering: wouldn't it be better to set the jump a bit more vertical, less horizontal speed? (sais the physicist in me).
