I'm not a strong back tumbler; is a roundoff a flight element on floor? (particularly for xcel gold)
 
Yes, it is. Xcel Gold can be done with no back tumbling at all (for example, FHS-FHS or FHS-RO + FT).
 
Yes, it is. I'm not a back tumbler either so I had to do more front tumbling and roundoffs. (For XCEL Gold)
 
I think it's so interesting how different gymnasts have different strengths! My DD is not a great front tumbler, but is very comfortable with back. But now that she's starting to learn twisting (on trampoline of course) she's a much better front twister than back...good luck to all! As a parent, I love hearing from the gymnasts' points of view. There are some very mature and informative teens on this forum :)
 
Yes, it is. My friends do FHS RO, rather than front tuck. I'd suggest doing a ROBHS, though, if you want to get better! ;)
