Front FlipAn acrobatic action where you rotate your entire body over your head in a forwards direction.

Back FlipAn acrobatic action where you rotate your entire body over your head in a backwards direction.

Side FlipAn acrobatic action where you flip your body sideways. Think of the way a barrel rolls. You should land facing the same direction as when you started.

Butterfly Kick (B-Kick)A tricking movement where you jump horizontally with the ground and splay your arms and legs out in a modified “starfish” position.

Tornado KickA tricking movement where you jump in a horizontally rotating arc and kick out. The jumping leg is the same as your kicking leg.

360 Butt SpinA spinning movement done on a bar. Start the movement as you would a lazy vault. Kick your legs up and over the bar as you spin on your bum and end on the same side you started on.

Round offA movement very similar to the cartwheel, but instead of landing each limb independently of the others, your hands will land at the same time, as will your feet. There is a turn to face the opposite way and a push off the ground at the end.

Front HandspringAn action similar to kicking up into a handstand, but end back on your feet after completing one full rotation over your head.

Kip UpAn action done while lying on your back and kicking up to an upright position on your feet.

MacacoA cross between a back handspring and a back cartwheel.

Wall SpinAn acrobatic action where you rotate in an arc over your head while your hand(s) brace on an obstacle or wall.

Bar Spin/Palm SpinAn action, very similar to a wall spin, done on a bar or box.
