Standing Pikes?

[BuegeSmalls]

Not 100% on the name of them but that's what she calls in this video so I'm stickin' with it. Anybody have any advice on how to do these? Whenever I warm up my standing tucks at basketball games my friend always tells me to do one but I have no experience doing them, so I'd like to maybe work on them next time I go to an open gym. I'm assuming it's similar to doing a standing tuck. Any advice?

I was throwing these for a while just for kicks and giggles. I just started straightening my legs out in standing tucks...there's not much more to it. It took a few times to get the feel of it but wasn't too hard to master.

I used to play with them for fun at open gyms too. Drive with your toes, use your lower abs to get your legs up fast, and I grabbed on the back of my lower thighs and pulled hard to make sure I made it around. My layouts were much more of a pike so it came fairly naturally to me

Would these score higher than standing tucks?

the first thought that came to mind was alicia sacramone and this video.. yes its gymnastics but still she basically throws a standing pike.

The correct term for it is standing layout

Is it? I wasn't sure since most of the videos I've seen of them they aren't like fully laid out. And I thought standing layout sounded a little silly lol.

I agree, that's definitely closer to a layout with some flaws in the body position then to a back pike. I don't see an attempt to grab & show the actual pike position so I cant consider that a pike.
