    Level 6 Scoring Out

    Well, I've seen quite a few threads here about scoring out of level 6, which I'm about to do. (Yay!) So I was wondering who here has done it, how it worked out, and what was your experience. Also, coaches, do you do this often? If so, how, why and under what circumstances? I'm just...

    round off backhandspring?

    Yes, try stretching your shoulder more, but also you could be going crooked, so try to focus on jumping equally from both legs. :)

    Can you tell me where the deductions are being taken?

    Hmmm...It is a beautiful routine and I love the music!! But I did notice she fell out of her turn, and I don't know, but it looks like she took a zillion steps into her tumbling, which I think is a deduction. Also, he leap traveled a lot...XD I loved the chatter in the start. Great work!
