Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

• A. A dive roll is considered a flight skill and can be used to fulfill an Acro flight series.
• B. Forward and backward rolls must finish on the feet to receive Value-Part credit.
• C. A pivot turn is an allowable connection between two acro skills.
• D. A back handspring to two feet and a back handspring step-out are considered the same skill.

Answer: (C)

Pivot turns between acro skills act as a legitimate connecting element in a sequence. They’re performed on two feet and serve to bridge two acro elements without adding extra flight value, which is why this statement is correct: a pivot turn can be used as the link between two acro skills.

The other statements don’t align with how connections and skill classifications work. A dive roll is generally not treated as a flight element used to fulfill an Acro flight series, so it isn’t counted as the required flight component. The rule about Value-Part credit isn’t simply “finish on the feet,” since finishing criteria for rolls depend on the specific context and technique, not an absolute rule. And back handspring to two feet and back handspring step-out are different variations and are not considered the same skill.
