Belly...spin?

[gymnastbeth]

A couple questions... First, there was a skill that my coach was talking about a couple years ago on beam, where you lay on your stomach and spin 180 or 360 degrees on your stomach. First question is it, is this honestly a skill in USAG? Second question would be, if it is a skill, does it count as anything in high school gymnastics? (medium, superior, HS, etc) It seems like such an odd thing to count!

 

[10.0]

Not a judge so I have no idea if it has any point value, but my guess would be no. It seems like a filler skill, a nifty one but still a filler.

I don't know about in HS gymnastics, but a 1/2 turn in prone position (on your belly) is an "A" in USAG and a 1/1 or 1 1/2 turn in prone position is a "B."
