Anon Skill connection on beam

[Anonymous (a1a7)]

I'm training for Xcel platinum but I don't have a good skill connection on beam. I have a back injury so I can't do walkovers, and my cartwheels aren't always super consistent. In gold I did a backward roll and handstand as my skills.
Would a handstand roll down into a straddle(like a worm sort of thing finishing with one leg on each side of the beam in a straddle, not a handstand forward roll) directly into a backward roll count as a skill connection???? If so does anyone have any tips for that??
I've also been trying some round offs, but those scare me a bit so I'm thinking they will take more time than I have. Though, any tips for round offs on beam would also be super helpful!
Thanks in advance

I think the handstand straddle bwo sounds great coming from another platinum! i came up with a few more, but i DONT KNOW if any of these could count bc i havent looked thought the code of points for these, but i came up with these two:

Handstand Fortward roll (to straddle) press handstand
Illiuosion (and hold the arabesque instead on setting the "up" foot down) to forward roll

These are both pretty unique and I am not sure that they are allowed, so PLEASE check the code of points or ask your coach about them!!

also im not sure if an illusion is cosidered a skill or a dance element so pleaseeeeee make sure to check!

Illusions are turns, not acros.
