kickover

I can get my kickover on a wedge mat and a 6 inch step up block. When I move to the floor, I can only kick up to like 70 degrees. My shoulders are past my hands. I can't really find anything less than my 6 inch block that would work for me to work down to the floor. Any suggestions of what I'm...

hi everyone, i'm having trouble with my bride kickover. even with a cheese! I always do it perfectly when my coach spot me, but when i do it alone i manage to kick over a bit, but then i just flop down. Any tips? If this makes any difference, i can to a backbend. Thank you!

While working on floor tonght, DD's (age 6, pre-team) coach had the girls do a backbend, then, instead of kicking over one leg at a time they used their core to pull both legs up and over at the same time (looks like it should be physically impossible to me :)). I was pretty impressed when DD...

My twin 4 year olds have recently started gymnastics...they seem to do bridges with ease and have started trying to do kickovers or back walk overs (not really sure what they are called, again I am NEW =) In a bridge and kick back over o do a handstand and fall forward into a bridge and kick...

DD is 4 (will be 5 next month) and has been doing a bridge kickover on the floor for several weeks now. She does them on her own, and doesn't appear to have any trouble doing them, but several times after she has finished the move, she has looked at me and said it hurt her shoulders. She...

Ellie has been making major progress between bouts with the tummy bug. She finally has her kickover. This has been a struggle due to super tight shoulder muscles. :) It is a beautiful sight to see. We have struggled with it for over a year. I've been stretching her every night for a year. She...

I was coaching tumbling a few days ago and one of my tumblers did a successful backbend. However, the kickover did something strange and honestly freaked me out. I'll try to explain it the best way I can: While she was in the backbend, she lifted her leg. Once her feet got off the mat, it...

Today ZZ did a kickover on the floor by herself! Last week she was able to do these with her feet elevated on a panel mat for the first time and something seems to have clicked for her. :) Since this was her first real accomplishment in gymnastics, she was very proud of herself. We've now...

It seems that I can't get a bridge kickover to save my life. I can do straight leg bridges and normal well, so shoulder flexibility doesn't seem to be the issue. One thing that irks me about it, other than the fact that I can't get even 45 degrees off the ground, is that I do them with my bad...

DD has been working so hard on her backbend kickover and she just can get it yet. I remember when I was a gymnast it took me forever to get my backwalkover I think I grew the tiniest bit and then I got it. Could the same be true or is it a strength issue. Any tips/conditioning she can work on...

I can't do a bridge kickover and every time i try i end up hurting myself. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks

'Bout time. She stalled on this one for a long time. Then they taught the level 2 floor routine yesterday. She asked me, "Will I be allowed to go to the meets (starting in 8 weeks) if I don't have my kickover?" I purposefully say I am pretty sure not.:liar: So she went at it today and got...

Little DD got it at practice today! The WHOLE team stopped and clapped for her as did all the parents in the waiting room! I'm so proud of her...she's been working L2 team for 6 months now and things are slowly starting to come!! Here is a video of her on my living room...she needed one extra...

i have been given a floor routine to compete and it has a bridge kickover in it. does anyone have any drills that i could do at home to help me with it.

i really need to get my bridge kick over by friday 8th may but i dont know what i need to do every day because i have been workin on doing off different sized mats but this seems very slow i know that it is to do with my flexability to i was planning to get mu mom to pull on my shoulders while...

When doing a front limber to a back kickover, I have been told I need more control when doing the front limber, I kind of just flop my feet to the mat(working them on a higher mat right now to start). What are some good exercises to do to help control my front limber for less foot plopping:D?

Any advice??? Im only a level 4. I can already front limber smoothly. I'll try to post a video

We need some pointers for getting this skill, on a consistant basis. My DD can get over occasionally, but most of the time, stalls out right before she goes over, then falls flat on her back or back to a bridge. Is it more about ab strength, flexability, or what. She is fine with just the...
