    Can a top girl in a load/cruch position grab the hands of each base and be tossed into a front flip and land in a cradle?

    For example: Prep…retake to load….dip/bases keep one hand on foot/the other on the top girls hand/backspot keeps hands on ankle…then toss for a flip…bases remain in contact until the top girl is caught in a cradle position.

    Please let me know.

      Yes they can. The “Suspended Forward Roll” rules allow someone to go from shoulders or below (check) using the hands of two bases or two posts (check) to do a forward roll/flip (check) to the ground or to a cradle (check).

        Can you do a suspended forward roll without a backspot? Still would have 2 bases and the top girl will land on her feet on the ground.

          Yes. A spotter is not required for a suspended roll.

    Can the top girl be in a thigh stand and squat to a position where she can reach through her legs to grab her back spots hands, then her two bases throw her feet upwards to perform a front flip then brace her back then sat her out in front?

    Please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thank you! :)

      For high school teams? Without seeing a video, it seems like you are describing a suspended forward roll that only has hands with one post (the backspot). That is illegal. A suspended roll must have hand to hand contact with two bases or two posts.

    Is this legal at 1:28? It is a suspended roll and the bases are maintaining contact with hands at all times.

    I was wondering if the first 15 seconds of this video is a legal stunt for a junior high team. I have made sure that their is constant contact with the back spot from the load in position to the dead man position which is not shown in this video. Please let me know as soon as possible!! Thank You :)

      As you sort of point out, this isn’t legal for high school as it’s being performed. They must have contact with someone on the ground at all times for this to be legal.

      That being said, if you are in contact throughout, then it is also legal for junior high school teams, since it isn’t considered to be a “toss” unless there’s a full release from all bases, spots, posts and bracers.

    Hello!

    I have seen this recently and wanted to confirm legality.

    I have a girl doing a front flip into a cradle. It is performed similar to the leap frog except she is front flipping. There is continuous contact with the post and a spotter is on the wrist of the post. I can supply video via email if needed.

    Thank You!

      For a suspended forward roll, the top person must have hand to hand contact (grips) with two posts or two bases. A grip with one post while another person holds the wrist is not currently legal.
