Women What makes the double back tuck beam dismount so difficult?

[DP gymnast mom]

Hi, my 2 girls are training the double back tuck beam dismount, and I am curious to know what make it so difficult. They really want to get it for meet season, so I thought I'd ask...

I can think of a lot of reasons it is difficult but, if it were me, I’d be worried about having my foot slip on the take off, under-rotating, and getting injured.

I agree. I am very worried about that. They really want the skill for season for some reason

I think getting the punch off the beam is not easy, especially for those mental reasons, most gymnasts don't really go fully for the punch.
