Are Whips Legal In Level 4?

[calikristin]

Hi! I was just curious if whips are legal in level 4? If so how many can you do?

 

[marissa.d]

yes they are and I don't believe there is a limit

I've seen a lot of whips in level 4 routines that are supposed to be layouts .

Whips are definitely legal, however to my knowledge you cannot have two whips back to back, they must be separate.
For example, a standing hand hand whip hand whip, is legal where a hand hand whip whip is not. As posted above you may have as many whips within a pass as you want. Hope this helps!

This is correct but only applies to standing tumbling. You can have flip-flip combos in running tumbling.

Yeah - when a pass ends w/ a whip I know it was meant to be a layout but it just had a crappy set and too much arching. I call them "whipouts" - .

A layout to me is one of those skills that can ALWAYS use improvement - even ones that are very, very good could always be a little better in some way. It is very rare to see a perfect layout.

Layouts are definitely tough to get right! Tho I'd rather see one that has a nice set but ends up a little too piked than one that looks like a total whip. I've been doing em for a year and I'm still not as straight as I'd like it to be.

Could someone post a video of a good layout. I thought I knew but now not so sure

Watch the girl @0:26, she ends her pass in a very solid layout:

I also don't think kids realize that when you have THAT kind of layout, you are setting yourself up for the "full" that is really a spinning piked-over ball of DEATH.

The layout is the foundation for your full. If it's off, your "full" is going to be an injury waiting to happen.

Seeing a pretty layout is so satisfying literally my favorite thing ever

Ehhh here is my kids whip thru to layout and whip punch layout.


Outside of her feet in her BHS I don't think they are completely terrible because the whip and layout definitely look different but my untrained parent eye thinks the layout could be better .. I feel like she could set higher and I don't think she pikes it over a lot as I have seen others but it still pikes some and I semi feel like she leads with her head and throws her head back some

She can do a better layout just doing a ro BHS layout. When ever she does specialty tumbling it does look more like this

Eta- just kidding she still does ugly ones no matter what
