cartwheel

Hi! I have started to practice a front tuck and Ariel Cartwheel for floor. My coach said for the ariel, im either just doing a cartwheel off the elevated mat, or propelling myself into a 'side semi' ( i dont have a clue what that is.) My coach said for the front tuck i dont have proper...

I am trying to move up and stay in level five but I can't seem to get my cartwheel on the beam. I have been trying on floor beams and low beams and making them but as soon as I go a little higher I don make it no matter how much I want to. The thing that really frustrates me is that I used to...

I'm working level 8. I'm not sure what I should work for a series on beam; I'd like to do bhs bhs but my bhs are a little heavy so my coach isn't sure if that would work, I can't do bwos (they mess up my back) and I'm scared of roundoffs (after twisting my knee and almost breaking my foot...

omigosh, i'm so happy! i got my free cartwheel on the tumble today!!! just had to share, i can't stop bouncing about!!!:)

Hey :) Just need a bit of advice really, I'm having a few issues with my cartwheel on beam, I have done it a few times but other times i just freeze in handstand, or if i do go into the cartwheel i chicken out and miss the beam. Any tips would be appreciated :) Thanks

son started learning cartwheels lately. At his gym coaches dont really help them - just letting them jumpo over the mat. Then I am wondering how are they going to learn it? Shell i help him at home? If so: 1. Should I support him by holding him a bit? 2. SHould i let him practice at home by...

My level 5 daughter fell off the beam tonight doing a cartwheel. She has struggled with this skill. She can do it, but it's a mental thing with her. She had split the beam at level 3 and never forgot how it felt. She has been working so hard on getting confident doing the CW and she was...

DD came home from training last night - where she stuck a cartwheel on the high beam without a spot!! :D I didn't even think she could do that on the low beam yet!! We're very excited here!!

DD has been struggling with her consistency with her cartwheel on beam. Sometimes she sticks a lot and other times just can't seem to get it. When she does her cartwheel she lands with her feet or heels diagonal on the beam and they hang off a little. Her coach spent a lot of time working...

One of the girls in my gym training for level 7 has been working on her cartwheel back tucks off the beam. She's a lefty, and is used to taking off for her back tuck with her left leg slightly in front, but her cartwheel ends with her right foot in front. Once upon a season ago when I was...

I'm having lots of trouble! first with a kip: I have a great glide but as soon as I try to get my ankles to the bar it gets all messy and screwed up. Is there any drill that I can do at home to improve the kip? Also do you push or pull on the bar? My second problem is with a squat on...

Hi all! I am 19 years old and this is my first year as the head level 5 coach. I consider myself a very good coach when it is one on one, or in small groups, but I have 13 girls completely to myself (I know, my gym is terrible with ratios...nothing I can do :eek:) Anywho, I'm having trouble...

Hi guys, Went to my third class today and because adults in the adult class level is waaay higher than mine, they do alot more complex stuff that I've never done before. However, I have learnt cartwheels although it's like...do it yourself and see how it goes. I've got two questions. 1. How do...

My 5 y/o girl is just loving gymnastics - she started this winter with a club. She is doing gymnastics all around the house. My husband just made her a beam (carpeted it) and now she wants to do cartwheels on it. She has been practicing on a line of tape on the floor. About 50-75% of the...

DD's meet season will be over next weekend if she can't get her cartwheel this week. They have a meet in 3 weeks that she can only go in if she moves up to L5 (which is all she has wanted all season) and she has all the skills except that stupid cartwheel. She would love to at least be able...

A small accomplishment really, but I was excited. They have been doing them spotted for awhile now, but she tried one on her own and actually did it. I was really surprised even if it wasn't too pretty. It's amazing how she seems to make no progress and then all of the sudden things just...

What does it take to be able to stick a cartwheel on the beam? The L5 on our team are so inconsistent with this skill and now the my L4 DD is starting to learn her cartwheel on the low beam I am wondering what it takes to stay on the beam? What factors go into the cartwheels that fall off vs...

I work with the preteam group at my gym, and so of course for the level 4 beam we're working on half turns. Most of the kids do the standard spin on the foot you handstand on. But I've got one...she cartwheel and handstands left. Very left. She spins right. Very right. Jump full turn on the...

my dd is doing right hand cartwheels but lefty handstands. she is level 3 and her coach told us that at the meets she has to stick to one side. the goal is to switch her handstand to righthand just like her cartwheels. i try to encourage her at home to practice and she does. but, when i...
