T thank you! For bars, I asked my coach why I have two free hips and she said incase I don’t make one of my free hips, but my low bar free hips are good! Maybe I’ll ask again. The vault video should help- I appreciate it. for beam, I’ve made it on high beam before at a meet but am suddenly...

I’m a ymca gymnast. I have to take down the gym afterwards. With that in mind, I have 2 hours on Tuesday, 2 on Saturday, and 3-4 hours on Saturday depending on if there’s extra practice or not. Other gyms have open gym but it’s far away from my house.

Hi everyone! I’m a level 6 gymnast, and I want to change my floor music. I’m thinking something sassy with a Spanish/ Tango twist to hype me up. Also, for choreography- any ideas on how to choreograph? My coach did last time but she’s not very creative. We are hoping for 1:00-1:10, but I can cut...

but if you still get the requirement of one 180 skill, wouldn’t you get no deductions?
