Would a handstand forward roll on beam count as a platinum connection, or just a single skill? I'm struggling with figuring out a connection as I don't have any flight skills. Thanks in advance :)
 
Is it handstand (put feet on the beam) into a forward roll, or an actual handstand forward roll?
The first one is a connection, the second one is not (however, it is a "B")
 
Handstand forward roll is one skill, not a connection. Here are some of the easiest connections allowed:
Handstand-Handstand (provided you hit handstand)
Forward roll-Forward roll
Foward Roll-Handstand / Foward Roll-Cartwheel
Handstand-Cartwheel / Cartwheel-Handstand
Hope you find a connection!

I think you need a vertical acro in your routine (not required in connection though). And it you do the same skill twice in a routine, you have to add something like a straight jump out of it to get credit for it being two different skills

You can't do a forward roll - forward roll series and have it count as the acro series. The rule is: One (1) Acro Flight element OR Acro Series – with or without Flight – Minimum of one skill must achieve or pass through vertical (excluding Mount or Dismount)
 
Thank you so much for all the info!! I'll probably try a handstand forward roll, to another handstand for platinum, or two backward rolls; because I have a back injury, and my cartwheels are super inconsistent.
Thanks again! Super helpful!
