back walkover

What is the advantage of training a back walkover starting with one leg up?

After some of the posts today about fast tracking kids, I wanted to tell everyone that gymnasts really do get true joy out of the simple accomplishments and for me that is worth it. My 5 year old dd got her cartwheel on the beam and she was so proud of herself she just kept doing it. Yeah!

When I am doing my back walkover on the beam, I feel as if it is going too quickly and I cannot get my hands on the beam in time...can anybody help me slow down my back walkover so I have time to find the beam? thanks!!

Hi everyone im hoping you can help me...i am training level 6 and i really really REALLY want to get my back walkover on beam. only problem is that when I try them on the low beam with panel mats, my hands never make it on the beam, i don't know why but i'm actually AFRAID to put my hands...

I didn't want to brag thursday because I actually missed it. Of course.... I leave that night instead of watch and she gets it. However, lots of moms and her team mates were like yes she got it... I saw it. Turns out she did over 183 of them at practice. WEll I had scheduled a private after...

Emily did it... 2 nights ago she finally actually started going backwards on the high beam by herself. I am so proud of her. She is still very apprehensive about the skill so the form needs some work but that will come as her confidence improves... 4 practices till first level 6 meet and I...

Tonight's Practice was awesome.... Emily started on Bars tonight and was doing flyaway drills on the pit bar and then Emily did a flyaway into the pit landing on a mat instead of the blue pit foam. First time, I didn't think she would let go but she did just a bit late so she landed touching...

I need some help....everytime I do a Backbend my knees bend forward and I do that while im in my bridge, anyway to help that? And when I do a Back Walkover, my legs just come together and I do a bridge. I need help please.

Has anyone seen a video of this online? It seems there is a huge deduction for not connecting this on beam. I heard you can't swing your arms either. Would love to see this done perfectly.

My poor daughter is trying so hard to get it and is nowhere close. We have a wedge and she can do a bridge kickover. As well she has her back bend onto the wedge. But she cant do a back walkover. Any ideas of things she can do at home to work on it that will help her get there?
