Whats a wave skill/event?

How many grades are there? Sorry if i missed it! Does a gymnast have to "pass" a grade with a minimum score before being able to advance to the next grade? Can you skip grades?

I dont really have input but i wanted to follow the thread- since im switched from jo to xcel recently

Do progressions: half turn, snap half half, full turn on low beam, full turn with mats under high beam, full turn on high beam

A lot of the skills you mentioned above like kip, bhs, aerials, front handspring vault take time to learn. For me BHS took quite a while compared to the other skills, about 3 months, and I lost it again after about 1.5 months of having it (currently dont have it). I get the frustration but...

Not entirely sure about Nastia's early tap- but I think it utilises her ability to arch well and probably hold the arch longer

As far as I'm aware you need two jumps connected. At least thats what they say at my gym for gold..so most do split jump straight jump.

Not a high level gymnast- but from what I've read- say a front tuck fulfills a requirement in level 8. You compete it but you get up to level deductions- meaning that even though it fulfills the requirement it is not the standard/level of level 8

Btw i take the same steps as you so you dont technically need more steps. It gives me enough power, but you could mess around with it if you think it will help The others have good tips above!

Idk how old your dd is (idk if it even matters but I think this works better with younger ones) but our coach says to hollow down like going down a slide, and at the very bottom of the slide you tap. She writes it down on a panel mat like this: Slide | | | V Tap And places it...

I really don't know cuz im in the same situation..putting a reply in here to follow the thread lol

I just do whatevers done at the gym...im pretty flexible already and i have both right and left splits down (super close to middle) so i don't do much at home Though before I had them, at the gym. I used panel mats and split b/w them which I think helped a lot

Omg its the same situation with me except that its been a year and 3 months and I did no gymnastics for 1.5 months...isnt going away so I just avoid bwos and fwos

I need this but for floor :( i can never fall well

12 year old (I think) started Covid and everything - practices cut short but still gained skills 14 year old: back injury - made it hard to gain new skills 14.5 moved to US: started on level 4, even though I had higher level skills- but missed just round off BHS BHS and high bar kip. Bad...

My coach(es) always said more height- altho my aerial is usually pretty low: I only make it cuz my swing is pretty good. But I'm trying to improve as I usually land with my chest down- and that has to do with height!

I and other people at my previous 2 gyms use Resiport. New gym- not sure

Omg anna shes crazily flexible

Hi! So I can easily do a front tuck (at least on a rod and tumble trak- still kinda working on it on floor) but I don't get how to do a front pike. I've heard that just straighten your legs out in the tuck- and I've tried it but it doesnt work. Any suggestions? (Also- I'm kinda cautious about...

ooh thanks Would it be weird to ask if you're switching gyms ie you have new coaches?
