Which statement about the Silver Division dismount is correct?

• A. A front salto tucked dismount will fulfill the dismount Special Requirement.
• B. A double back layout dismount will fulfill the dismount Special Requirement.
• C. A layout dismount will fulfill the dismount Special Requirement.
• D. A pirouette dismount will fulfill the dismount Special Requirement.

Answer: (A)

The dismount Special Requirement for Silver is satisfied by including a salto-type element as the dismount, specifically a forward salto. A front salto tucked dismount provides a forward rotation with a tucked body, which is a standard, permitted way to meet that requirement at Silver. This is why it’s the best choice: it clearly demonstrates the required flight and salto, while remaining appropriate for the Silver level’s difficulty. The other options don’t meet that criterion. A pirouette dismount has no salto, so it wouldn’t fulfill the requirement. A layout dismount is a back-style salto, which does not align with the forward-rotation requirement, and a double back layout dismount is a more advanced backward salto that goes beyond what Silver typically requires.
