i do this move all of the time when doing flips off of a wall fence or lockers. i never tuck even though i always get yelled at by my cheer coach i just spread my legs and rotate. any questions email me at dtnfx@hotmail.com
i have a bad knee that i recently hurt again doing a standing x out. didn't fall or anything. n everybody said it looked good. just landed in a bad way for my bad knee. good luck people. dont be afraid of these, they're easy!
Oh yes,X-Outs are so fun to do! These came natural to me. I did Backtucks for about a year .I was trying to get higher over the months. And I tried it and got it...Fun stuff.
Ok, Uhm, for those who didnt get it in the descrip tion, X-outs are a back flip(back tuck) where you do the splits sorta, like what he (she?) describe d. Its really pretty simple (though i can only do i t on a tramp), all you do is the back tuck, but inste ad of tucking, you x your legs out. A cooler versio n of this would be to throw your arms out too, so its a full body lay out style. Nother cool variation: X-out with a 360 twist. www.teamryouko.com has a good clip on Allen Keng's sampler
I didn't read the decriptio before i tried this o ne. I just thought "okay, like a backflip but your arms and legs spread. second try I landed it from s tanding. Even more wicked cool from roundoff or b ackspring. but, hey, are you supposed to have you r arms out or no?
And x-out is relatively simple. All you have to d o is go into it like a back tuck...that is jump firs t, then tuck. A right after you tuck you quickly ki ck your legs out and tuck back in. So the progressi on of movements is tuck, kickk out (x-out) and the n tuck again. Thats the way the guys at Team Ryouko taught it to me at least.
trict is very correct, but i would like to add to i t. Out of ur handspring snap down hard and set EXAC TLY like a tuck (which, at lowest, should be at you r standing head level). When you reach your VERY h ighest point of setting, rather than just throw y our body over, in a very fast motion hit a high V wit h your arms and split your legs as open as you can. T o look good snap together tight before landing. P pl who forget the arms disgust me. Sorry but I have never heard of a V - out being impressive -_-
