All-Star What Is A Double Nine?

[ANNA!]

saw someone on tumblr ask this:
whats your thoughts on double nine for all star?
and the person responded:
are they 18?
but now I'm super confused because I have no clue what a double nine is! anybody care to shed some light on the topic?

It's a jump... Kind of like a pike but your arms and legs make the shape of a nine.

I don't know why it's not more popular. It's a cool jump.

AMEN they are sooo hard to get perfect! I hate them!

seriously. they just aren't natural feeling and require too much thinking for me. either my legs are right or my arms are right, but i don't think they're ever right at the same time.

I don't really like how they look, even when executed properly. They just look so awkward.

I love doing them. Much, much more than toe touches! And I think, they look really neat.

The most frustrating jump to tumble out of....
Pure freaking torture

My uni squad thought that's what a herkie was...and when I started my friend who had also done allstar before and I were like "nooooooo"

Oh! I saw some teams do this last year and had no idea what they were. I will say the ones I'm thinking of we're not like the picture here. They sortof looked like squat jumps which is why I couldn't figure them out. I imagine these are crazy hard to do correctly and would have to be like this pic here for them to not look messy on a stage. Cool looking, but probably crazy hard to get a technique score on. Might be why we don't see them often.
