    WAG Help with twisting handstand...

    I remember reading here one of the coaches (maybe IWannaCoach?) saying you don't need to try to turn in a round-off because when you kick your leg you turn automatically (I've tried this and it worked). It seems like this is happening to my DD in her handstand on beam - when she kicks up to...

    Quad twisting double layout

    2013 2009 WHAT?? Is this seriously possible? A quad double? On floor? Holy smokes. I know on trampoline it's a miller +, but this is the very first one that *i* have ever seen this attempted on floor (a rod floor, but still!) Crazy crazy crazy hard. I bow down.

    Coaches Twisting out of round off

    I coach a group of 12-15 year old gymnasts who are starting to compete optional level. They are late starters training low hours and most of them have bad habits, fears or injuries which forces us to make up routines that consists of more uncommon (and less comprehensive) tumbling passes etc...

    WAG Twisting direction

    I know this is a hotly debated topic and I'm a little confused. I've been teaching my level 4s on bars to lift the hand they cartwheel with on the dismount. Assuming a righty gymnast (determined by cartwheel), my reasoning was that if they pirouette by changing the right hand, if they were ever...

    WAG Triple Twisting Yurchenko: Who and When?

    I'm wondering about when we will see a triple twisting yurchenko. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Mykayla might do it but I'm starting to think otherwise. Maybe its not possible with current equipment. Well, anyway, this the Triple Twisting Yuchenko Forum

    WAG Double twisting double layout

    What is the point of the double twisting double layout? It is the same value as the Silvas and it is way harder! Only 2 gymnasts are competing it at this point. Moors and Skinner. So why don't they just compete the Silvas instead? R they waiting for worlds to let it be named after them?

    Twisting Problems?

    Hi. I'm a level 5 gymnast and new here to CB. :) I'm posting this because I'm having trouble twisting. I twist to my left even though I am a righty because left twisting just feels better for me. I do it into the pit (sometimes off the tumble trak, sometimes off the side). I have my full...

    MAG Front Twisting help!!!

    Front twisting seems to be impossible for me to learn. I twist early. Sometimes I twist out of no where. Sometimes when I go for branny I do a full. Sometimes when I go for just a layout I go for full or branny. And when I tell myself, "Ok your gonna do a full." I twist right away. Is the hallow...

    WAG Unexpected twisting?

    L8 gymnast just last week started doing a full on floor when she intends to do a layout. She was able to fix it for a couple of days and did it fine and then in the meet ended up doing two passes with a full instead of a full and a layout. (Which was a problem as she then did not have 3...

    MAG Twisting

    I have this strange fear where I can't twist a flip out of a round off or round off back handspring. I have no problem twisting out of front tumbling for some odd reason. Once I set my mind freaks out and then I become scared to twist. I've had some pretty scary falls because if this. Any tips?

    WAG cast handstands and back twisting

    So I've been working on cast to handstands for a while, before I retired a few months ago and now on my own at the adult rec class I've been going to. I can do decent preps (cast to bum up in air and legs in straddle at bar height, like the compressed position for a straddle press), but then I...

    Twisting off vault

    I have a good handspring off vault and have been trying half offs for about 6 months. I can do half on half off decently (using a big block as a vault, haven't tried it real vault yet), but can't do a simple half off two save my life! When I drop my right arm and turn my head to look under my...
