In the Backward 360 Rotations, what is prohibited between the rotations?

In the context of Backward 360 Rotations, it is important to maintain fluidity and control throughout the maneuver. Holding in-between rotations is prohibited because it disrupts the continuous motion required for a smooth execution of the 360-degree turns. The essence of this element relies on the seamless transition between rotations, which demonstrates the skater’s ability to maintain balance and technique.

When skaters pause or hold during the rotations, it not only affects the overall flow but also can be perceived as a lack of precision, impacting the scoring in competitive settings. Maintaining uninterrupted motion is key to showcasing the skill and artistry involved in synchro skating.

In contrast, changing directions, increasing speed, and using more than one foot can have specific applications in different contexts or elements, but they do not inherently break the essential flow needed for rotations as halting between them does.
