Technique Tuesday: Breaking Down the Back Salto

Nov 15, 2010

This week's gymnastics technique video comes from 10-time World Trampoline & Tumbling Champion Judy Willis Cline. During the Region 3 High Performance Camp, Judy showed a group of gymnasts a drill to break down the back salto for both back tucks and back pikes.
According to GymSmarts, Judy holds tumbling records for bounding whips (26), bounding fulls (16); and bounding double-fulls (8), all accomplished on a non-sprung floor. She is known for her standing double-fulls and triple fulls in both directions.
