It's legal again this year. However, you have to be sure to have completed the cradle first, before the back walkover.
Here's the rule, straight from AACCA (It's section C. Inversions)
c. The top person can be placed on the performing surface in an inverted position provided that all of the following conditions are met:
1) The inversion begins from a cradle or prone position below shoulder level. The cradle or prone position must be established prior to the inversion. In other words, the skill cannot simply "pass through" the cradle or prone positionon the way to the inversion.
2) The inversion goes immediately to the performing surface with both the top person's hands supporting his or her weight.
3) Two original bases or an original base and a spotter must maintain contact with the top person in a position to protect the head, neck and shoulder area of the top person. This contact must be maintained until the top person's hands are on the performing surface.
 
Can you dismount from a cradle by way of a back walk over? Or would that be considered an illegal inversion?

It is not legal under NFHS, or under certain EPs rules (for example, it is illegal for both intermediate and advanced school under JamBrands rules).
