Tsukahara arabian double

Me playing around on pit vault (my gym doesn't have an actual pit vault, so this is what we use). I did this just for kicks, but it actually felt surprisingly good. Might see if I can work on it over a real table next time I go to woodward. It's not in the code of points.... yet. It's a tsukahara-style entry, a quarter/half turn out to double-front.

UPDATE: I competed it at the whitlow invite, making me the first person ever to compete this vault. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JqLVSvhXzA

I've seen the score for your vault. It's terribly underrated and should defiantly be worth 7.0 or over. =)

@XtremeTkatchev Thanks

[takiah3]

Love it =)

I would still really love someone to attempt a tsuk dismount from beam though! :P

[GeoffTaucer]

I believe such dismounts are banned.

y do they gotta ban the cool shit,once someone breaks their neck everyone gets all pissy.....its called practice......bastards!!!!!!!

[rubinco]

@GeoffTaucer they are. They used to be legit but I believe someone broke their neck or something doing it? So the IOC banned it. After that, FIG, etc. all banned it as well.

@MySportsFanatic

lol what a good question... i wonder...=)

[blackwingedangel722]

Yessir, they are.

[MySportsFanatic]

I wonder if people can do tsukaharas off diving boards.

[sgymnasteg]

You came onto the mat with your legs bent...I think you may have even had them bent straight off the board....that's one way of chucking it I guess.
