How aren't they?
From USASF rules site: "In standing tumbling only, skills involving two twists (i.e. Double fulls) must be immediately preceded
by a minimum of two backward traveling, non-twisting tumbling skills. One of these two skills must be
a back handspring."
**totally not being rude, but genuinely curious as to the reasoning behind that.
But to be considered "standing tumbling" it has to start w either "no" momentum or backward momentum (such as stepping backward or a back handspring). The cartwheel has forward momentum so it is considered "running" tumbling even if there is only 1 step before it or into it.
Not trying to be mean, but that's they way I understand it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
