double

Has anyone ever had a kid whip their head on a double lay dismount landing, so that it looks like whiplash as they hit the ground? Gymnast says it doesn't hurt, but it doesn't look healthy to me. She does the "tight arch" style of flipping.

Confirming that this isn't just a mess-around-in-prqctice skill. Simone looks like she's actually gonna compete the Yurchenko Double Pike!

Nick Klessing appears poised to have this vault named after him: A bit of trivia regarding this vault: while it has not been done internationally before, it was done by one gymnast in the USA back in 2009, at Whitlow and also National Qualifiers. That gymnast who first performed it was.... me:

Can someone tell me what letter value a double full and a double back are and why one would train one and not the other?

Hey! I recently came across a video of Simone doing a Yurchenko double pike into a pit on YouTube. I think that’s super cool and a bit insane! I don’t know if she’ll ever actually compete it but I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. It was just something so fresh with all of the twisting vaults we...

Hi, I hope I find some help here. One of my gymnasts can"t land the double back. She says she can't see the floor. Right now she is doing them off the trampoline on a soft mat but she always lands on her back, so 2,5 basically. In my opinion most gymnasts don"t really SEE the floor. What...

Hello, I have been having a really hard time doing a double pike on the floor. I’m not sure why because I’ve done all the drills, and I can do it very well off of the tumble track and air floor up to height. My layout sets are very high too. Right before I’m about to go for it my heart starts...

Is a back double twist considered a lvl 9 or 10 skill?

I'm curious to know by what age it is reasonable to expect a female gymnast to acquire this skill.

my 8 year old is a level 3 gymnast and tops. She did her first 3 competitions and did great medaled a ton and was really loving being on team...until the dreaded practice where she broke her forearm doing a double backhand spring. She is will be in cast for 6-8 weeks. She was training 12 hours a...

Hello Everyone I'm new here, I'm Coach Antonio. I teach and coach in Atlanta at the Peach Pit. I'm creating a new competitive tumbling and tramp class and team. I'm looking for pre-owned equipment for a good deal. Equipment needed: Double Mini Trampoline Rod Floor at least 42' Landing Zone for...

Just wondering if I may be double jointed in my shoulders, I have no pain in them but from doing walkovers my shoulders seem to click or pop. Also I’m very flexible in my shoulders, so it wouldn’t be to do with that, so do you think that’s what’s causing this weird feeling?

Crazy pass here... Trinity Thomas 2 1/2 twist step out to double layout...

NOTE: This conversation was split out of the following thread... https://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/threads/jo-code-changes-2018-2022.62666/ ------------------------------ For boys it's much easier compared to girls... bar height and lack of a low bar are major.

Have any of you done outdoor posed portraits of your gymnasts? I have googled "ballet dancer portrait alley city" and got a ton of gorgeous pics (I included a few links below to show what I am thinking - these are NOT MY PICS) but when I did the same with gymnast, I got a bunch of kids doing...

Anyone else out there see it? It was wicked good, he just needs a better landing! He took second. :)

I'm curious about double backs on floor. How common are they in L9? How long did it take your DD/DS to get it on floor after getting it on tramp? Is this skill like flipping vaults where drills and various combinations of mat stacking go on for a long time before it's ready? DD and another...

Coaches what station drill do you have to help with double back landings off bars to help them open up and push on the ground

Has anyone got one of (or tried) the current model of Acromat Double Minis? We are looking at getting a new one and wondering how bouncy it is. We have the old model (at least 20 years old), and it is decent and serves our need, but I noticed the newer model is wider so just wondering if anyone...

I have a few girls that are Level 4 or XCEL Gold and planning on competing Level 6 next year. Their favorite thing to do these days is tumble into the pit and they all have really strong round off, back handspring, back tucks on the floor, and in to the pit. They can do the back tuck to...
