In Xcel Gold Floor, the 2nd Acro pass may be which of the following?

• A. Two directly-connected acro flight elements
• B. One aerial or Salto
• C. Either two directly-connected acro flight elements or one aerial or Salto
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

In Xcel Gold Floor, the second acro pass can be formed in two valid ways: either two acro flight elements that connect directly in sequence, or a single aerial or a single salto as the entire second pass. Directly-connected means there’s no pause or non-acro element between the two acro moves—they run one into the other as a continuous pair. If you opt for a single aerial or salto, that one element serves as the entire second pass’s acro content.

This flexibility is why the best answer includes both options: it reflects that the second pass may be a tightly linked duo of acro flight elements or a single, higher-difficulty aerial or salto. The other possibilities would not match the code’s allowed configurations for the second pass.
