it is illegal on all levels to land on anything but your feet after flipping.... i think its in the general safety rules, not the rules per level.

What about those three quarter front flips where the athletes land in a hurdler position on the floor? You can land on something other than your feet. Not saying this is legal, just saying there are flips were landing on something other than your feet is legal)
 
sooooo.....basically you have to land on your hands or feet (or show support)....still makes this exact move illegal.

I'm still going to have to go with legal for this one, The clarification states that drops that include ANY weight bearing contact with the hands and fee would NOT be in clear violation of this rule. That coupled with being able to do 3/4 front flips at level 3 and with restricted 5 specifically laying it out that you have to land on 2 feet out of a full(ie. no full twisting tumbling to the seat, prone or similar) would lead to the conclusion that it is indeed legal at level 5. Also, they would have put that restriction in the regular 5 rules rather than just in the restricted 5 section.

his hands and feet hit the ground just before the rest of his body.
 
The closest i've seen to this in competition was a girl on MCE Diamondkatz. She did a front full suicide...not as cool as this but still fierce non the less :) In the opening, center at 9 sec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imvpuTEJvvc

i wished they would have showcased that skill (opening up that formation a little more IMO)it was pretty and different! i never realized she did that
