    FX - Double Front Help

    Hey Chalkies, I've been working on my double front, and, well, it isn't: I3CjWaPMWuE My coach made me change my technique, so that it will be consistent with my forward twisting; so now I block with my arms up instead of down: I feel like it's detracting from my momentum, but allowing...

    double stag drills?

    I've just started learning my double stag(both legs bent, back arched, head thrown back), and my coach told me I need more flexibility in by back and legs. Other than splits/over splits and bridges, what are some good drills for back and leg flexibility?

    Getting over the fear of doing a double back flip

    I have had this question for years! All I want to be able to do right now is to be able to do a double back flip on the trampoline AT THE QUAILIFIED GYM I GO TO. I have the height and the form and I can even do one and land on my back, but I am so scared I will start flipping and won't be able...

    Butterfly With A Double Twist On YouTube

    My passion, as many realize by now, is to see new skills performed in gymnastics. The sample page from my book Flip Outside The Box illustrates such a skill. For anyone who thinks it looks too difficult, watch this YouTube video I recently found of a male gymnast performing it. I must say that...

    Coaches Spotting Double Fly Away

    Warning: Question not for the feint of heart. That said... I have a connundrum... At our state meet, my best bar girl pulled in on her double. You can all fill in the blank from there. I reviewed the video over and over... and the best I could do is exactly what I did - I kept...

    Coaches Double Fly Away

    So.. Ive had my method for teaching these for a while.. and had success with it... but another coach saw how I was teaching and offered his advice which, I thought, was mind bogglingly revolutionary at the time (just a different way of teaching what was most likely going on already).. and when I...

    First day trying double full on trampoline

    I was bored yesterday and decided to go for a front double full. I taped all the attempts because i thought if i fly off and die, at least everyone will know what happened. 0mPgnVoDDKw

    Deduction for "not rotating fast enough" in a double back? huh?

    Recently we had a judge come in and take a look at our upper level girls. One of our L8 girls competes a double back off bars, and the judge said she would get deducted on the double back for dynamics because she didn't rotate fast enough. My question: why deduct for slow rotation? I think it...

    Coaches moving double backs to the floor

    I have a girl working on a double back whe can currently land it consistently off rod floor to 16 inches above ground level. My question is you guys decide to move them form rod floor to the floor.

    Coaches Kicking out to early on double front

    One of my guys is working a double front on floor. When he does it into a pit, it is insanely high, he opens up with perfect timing, and comes down perfectly set up to land it. However, when we throw a mat in the pit, he goes lower (though still high enough to make the skill) and kicks out...

    Coaches Double layout off rings

    I've recently started training rings again, and I'm trying to get a double layout (hardest dismount I've done before is a double tuck). I've heard some coaches say that the technique is different for a double lay than for a double tuck, but I've never heard much explanation of how it's...

    Coaches Training a double front pike

    I have one guy on my team who, despite otherwise not being particularly strong on tumbling, has an insanely powerful punch. He can't do a clean back layout, but he can already do a punch double-front onto a mat in the pit at floor height. No cowboying, no crouched landing, no nothing; it's...
