Check out this video of Romain Mesnil clearing 5.65 (18-6 1/2) he does a twist while going over the bar and goes over on his back...

I saw a clip of Dean Starkey doing virtually the same thing at I think 5.70, only his back doesn't touch the bar. Early 90's. I think it may be on Sky Systems II.

I have seen Ray Scotten do that many many times at our meets..... just turns to far and overrotates

Check out this video of Spencer Stephens doing a half twist w/ flip on a height at VA Tech this past winter. There is never a dull moment when he is jumping.

Spencer has the sickest body awareness

There was this guy I saw at reno who jumped in one of the college divisions (he ended up no heighting), who would do anything from 2 front flips to a backflip with rotations and everything during warm ups. He seemed to be gripping a little too high seeing he almost fell in the box a few times and was jumping with his standards at 17 but he was fun to watch.

He is blessed in a big way. He has always been a pleasure to have around with his great attitude and willingness to help others. At our camp in June he did 12 muscle ups and then stopped... not because he had to. He was doing triple flips off the low dive as well.
This summer he has done a front flip over 18' 6" ring vaulting, and on the trampoline he did 22 back flips in a row, every time he landed he went back up for the next flip. Oh yeah, he also hangs from the high bar by his toes.
