Coaches Toe on front tuck dismount- good option for level 9?

[rbk2404]

My daughter is training 9 and working on a toe on front tuck dsmt- I believe its valued as a c skill-similar to the double back. Can anyone advise if judges deduct composition? Anything else to know for this skill good or bad? She can do double back but gets anxiety so began working on this skill and coach said it looks beautiful!

She "began working on this skill and coach said it looks beautiful!"
It is a C skill.
If it is beautiful and doesn't cause anxiety, she should do it.

And in L10 she an add a half twist to make it a D (I believe) and if she can do a pike with a half twist then it's valuable in college.

It’s a great dismount.

I'm honestly surprised it's not more popular. Certainly less scary than a double back, and not that much harder. No real disadvantages that I can see.

I haven’t seen it done well very often. Landing it cleanly seems to be the biggest issue.
