WAG One of my favorite looking skills by Zoe Miller (Full Twisting Double Lay)

[JBS]

Just as the title says for your viewing pleasure...

What do you particularly like about it? I don't want to seem mean and I know that it is a crazy hard skill, but there are a lot of deductions in this one (legs apart -.3, legs bent -.1, feet -.1, plus landing -.4 and OOB).
I mean, I find it great that she is training it and I'm sure she will clean it up eventually, but she does so many skills better than this one...

What do you particularly like about it?

The skill in general. Pretty sure it's a "work in progress" not a skill in it's final competitive state.

EDIT: And honestly... at full speed I don't see any judge taking 1.0 on that in a competition.

Here’s another…

Might as well keep putting them in here. Suni is great… I just like the arch technique better… I think it looks cool…

EIDT: By arch I mean full in arch out… Suni’s is more of a 1/2 in 1/2 out… so it can’t arch out as she is facing forward.

Omg im such a fun of Suni's technique - the hollow laid out looks so good... I don't love the arch technique haha

Same here. I just love the hollow shape and late twist. I like Simone's a lot as well.

I think my favorite person doing this skill is Carlos Yulo:

His lines are just so perfectly straight throughout, flairs the arms out at the end. Textbook perfect, imo

This one is definitely nice.

I guess I like the arch technique better as it's easier to do. The later twist has to be done really well or it starts to look like this...

Here I go triple posting. It's funny how my views have changed on many things over time. Here is another old arch vs straight thread that is a pretty fun read...

Coaches - Technique discussion: Front Layout

I've seen this skill taught in several different ways, and I wanted to see if we could get a discussion going about the merits of the various techniques. Some coaches coach a hollow front layout. I'm not entirely sure why. I coach a heel-drive front layout; I coach it not as the forwards...

Haha, man, that's an OLD one!

EDIT: I was overconfident and didn't know anything back then.

I'm still overconfident, but at least I know my stuff better now.
