Watch: An armstand somersault dive
Armstand somersault pike
The diver assumes a handstand position on the end of the platform, facing away from the water. While pushing slightly away from the platform, the diver performs a somersault in a forward direction, entering the water headfirst and facing toward the board. In the pike position the body is bent at the waist with legs straight and toes pointed.
