    WAG Level 10 Beam Question

    I’m a level 10 and am wondering about beam start values. Currently I’m doing a bhs-bt series, side aerial, back tuck, switch leap + straddle 1/4, straddle 3/4, and a layout gainer 1/1 dismount.

    Parents Pak be straddleback

    I competed a straddleback to handstand this last year for level 9 and scored very well with it (9.5+) and won bars a few times. We had 4 out of 19 level nines do straddleback to handstand, about 5 do paks, and the rest did shoots (bails). Everyone on the team scored in the 9’s and did well, so...
