In addition to his difficulty he was also capable of performing 'tidy' tumbling....look at that double double str8 at the beginning and tell me many gymnasts today peform it in a similar fashion! ive seen some VERY untidy versions of that skill form the men!!!!
Just not worth it unless you're using it to connect a B to a D or higher skill for the 0.1 in connection. A whipback is only a B, and often the elite gymnasts aren't counting any Bs in their floor routines at all.
melissanidis does it only really dont know whats ur discussion was about but whatever melissanidis does whipback double layout to full twisting fronttuck ^^ so cool!!

cool to see him incorporate a whipback into his routine... dunno why more guys don't do so.

Now, sure... but this was 17yrs ago, the scoring was different then, and you still didn't see such.

True, but a whipback's value wasn't high back then either. If I remember, it should have been equal to a layout, as it is now.
