Hellllo, I am wondering what people have to say for tips on front handspring front tucks.. I am working on getting mine and so are a lot of people on my team.. I, personally need help turning it over faster.. does that mean kicking harder when you're upside down? I try to do that but still don't...

Hi, I'm considering continuing practice (3 days a week) at my current gym lets call this gym A. And I want to add another day or two to my practices.. at gym B. The thing is, these gyms are in the same city, and are HUGE rivals. They make sure none of their gymnasts compete at any of the same...

at my last meet, (little bigger) i got two weird deductions.. aparently i didn't connect my leap/jump on floor and lost a whole point. My coach even got my routine on video, and they were connected! she showed the score people (?) and even the judges. They refused to change the score. This...

I was bored so I decided to look through the code of points, and I saw a 'B' level skill. It's a full turn, but you don't put your foot down, and go to a scale. I want it in my floor routine, but I might not be allowed to.. Does anyone know? I'd appreciate it. BQ: What's the worst that...

So, i competed prep op novice last season (and improved GREATLY) but i want to switch over to JO. i read HERE that if you are at least 14, and a freshman in highschool, then you can petition onto level 7. [read number 6] (i live in the usa, and i will meet those requirements by the end of next...

This year was the first year i have competed, and I was a prep op novice (equivalent to level 4/5 USAG). I am 13, almost 14, so that's why i went with prep op in the first place. But I want to do levels (if that's not what they're called, i have no idea what else to call them.), but how would i...

I am currently in prep op, (novice). But next season i would be moving up to intermediate, which is equivalent to level 5/6. I want to do prep op because it's fun and i have friends there, but yet i want to move up to be an optional gymnast eventually. the one thing holding me back? almost all...

at my gym, we have open gym (quite fun, i must add ;)) But every time it's open gym, there are there 19-25 year old guys that come and throw CRAZY skills, ones that i can't recognize.. they're too messy! but they try fulls, double backs, and crazy tumbling passes to say the least. - and i'll say...

I have my 3rd meet of the season this sunday, (march 18th) and it's kind of important! but i'm doing a somewhat new routine *eek!* I have added my squat on to high bar, (which. i mind you, i fell from and broke my ankle back in november), and it isn't even consistent. i have 3 more practices...

I'm a prep op gymnast, and i'm having issues with my beam routine two weeks before the next meet! :eek: But I have a TON of extra space before my dismount on beam. I have no idea what to put in.. my dismount is a round off (got down graded due to pain while landing). But my other skills are...

SO, to make a long story short, i injured my right ankle november 2011 and have to wear a brace for it. Now, there's a lot of pain in my left knee and need to wear a brace for it, too. the problem is, i would look so weird! haha.. but what should i do, favor one, or look like a cripple? thanks!
