Why is it illegal?        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Dom Mancini added to this discussion on January 17, 2012 That's legal - correctly called by the official at the match - not a backflip because he wrapped around the other wrestler with his hands.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Fred Feeney added to this discussion on January 17, 2012 Dom, It is illegal. The rules state that a back flip from the standing position is an illegal maneuver. Since he is standing, at a point..its illegal.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Jack Muni added to this discussion on January 17, 2012 I think someone could argue he was never standing up. Now is standing, and standing upright, the same thing??? None the less, a very interesting move, and rather dangerous.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Fred Feeney added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 We actually talked about it and showed it tonight at our local meeting.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 I understand it's illegal in HS, but I thought it was a college match. Is it also illegal at that level?        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Dom Mancini added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 I'm saying it's not a backflip Fred how do you define what a backflip is? any backward sumersalt motion? Here is the position that the rule was made for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCOvlWKPN2U        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Tony Bradberry added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 Quote from Brady Hiatt's post: "I understand it's illegal in HS, but I thought it was a college match.

Pretty sure it is still legal in college.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Tony Bradberry added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 Quote from Dom Mancini's post: "I'm saying it's not a backflip Fred how do you define what a backflip is? any backward sumersalt motion?

I think it is pretty obvious what that kid did was a back flip. You could argue semantics and say it was more of a back handspring since he posted off his opponent, but he still mad a backward rotating motion in air. I hate the rule and used to use this move in college and high school, but it is what it is.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Michael Rodriguez added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 Quote from Tony Bradberry's post: "We all know that is what the rules intent was, but the way it is worded it eliminates all back flips.

That.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Fred Feeney added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 It is legal in college...and the guy who sent it to me told me it was a high school event. If its a college event then yes...legal. A few years ago, 2009 I think...a kid got hurt doing that back flip from a "tree top" position. The NFHS came in and stopped it. But...by saying "from the standing position", they are saying that anytime you are on 2 feet without hands, or knees on the mat, that is considered a standing position. At some point...this kid was in a standing position before he flips over.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Tommy Rowlands added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 That was amazing.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Brady Hiatt added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 ^^^^^ No joke. I'd need a spotter (a really strong spotter to do all the work) for me to hit that move. Or be wrestling a 4 year old, a very short 4 year old that I could backward sumersault over.        Discussion Topic: Cool move but illegal Rick Wasmer added to this discussion on January 18, 2012 I think it's college , CUW open 141 pounds        ► Add to the Discussion
