Ok, so I started doing Thomas fulls on floor a week or two ago; that is, a back one-and-three with two and a half twists. For awhile, I thought I was the first to pull it off, since it's not in FIG, but I later learned that it used to be in FIG, but has been banned.

Does anybody know of a list of banned skills, or anything like that I could use to look this skill up and learn it's proper name? Or does anybody already know it's proper name?

EDIT: To clarify: no, I don't intend to ever teach this skill to any of my kids. But I'll probably keep working on it myself, just for the heck of it.
 
OUCH! Poor girl! I had something similar happen to me back in high school. I used to love gymnastics class... until some girl who was supposed to be spotting me was too busy flirting with the coach... and let me land on my head/neck. I laid there for several minutes as my body tingled and he yelled at me to get up because I was wasting everyone's time. I refused to go back into that class and received an F for the semester. My only failing grade EVER in school. Needless to say, I never got into competition and it makes me nervous watching my niece... but at least I know her coaches and gym-mates are watching her and if she's doing anything dangerous they're there spotting the first few times until she gets the hang of it.
