walkover

I try it at the wall the front walkover and i get scared and i say tommorrow i will do it, and the back i cant push my leg. I am a begginner 12 years old.

My daughter is having issues with this skill. She actually said she hated it. She has started practicing her BHS on beam and says this is easier. She is still on the floor doing the BHS on a foam beam. She says the BWO hurts her back. Is she perhaps doing it wrong or is she just not...

hey guys, I wanted to have your opinion on walkovers. There is a girl in my gym, she is a little older than I am, something around 22. She has been doing gymnastics as a child, she was an old L7, had a 4 year break and is back training since more than a year, mostly for fun but still at least...

I've been having some issues with BWO BHS on beam- more mental than anything else! Are there any drills I can do at home to make myself more comfortable? I have a foldable floor beam "line" I can use. Thanks! EDIT: coaches, do you prefer your gymnasts to do BWO BHS two foot or BWO BHS stepout...

I've been reading a lot about gymnasts getting stress fractures from doing back walkovers. I've never had back pain due to back walkovers but I'm kinda freaking out now! Can someone explain what the correct way to do a back walkover is in order to prevent stress fractures??

Hi, I'm currently writing books about gymnastics. Right now, I'm working on three books "Shoulder Flexibility", "Back Walkover" and "Front Walkover". I'm about 90% done with all three books. I base my books on my own experience as a coach. I also talk to a lot of coaches about the subject at...

Hi, newbie here . My daughter has just turned 7 and has already made squad status , which I'm proud of . My gripe is , Libby can do backwalkovers on a high beam and has done so for a month or so but all of a sudden she's very frightened again ? Any tips ? It's so frustrating !!

My youngest dd did her first backwards walkovers during her last gym session, she managed to do three by herself. Normally she gets spotted by the coach but the coach was busy with another girl. They have side stations set up, one of them was a block next to he crash mat that they have to put...

My DD is training new level 5 now and while she is doing back walkovers on the beam she gets lower back pain. It doesn't bother her any other time and never bothered her before while doing them on the floor. I took her Urgent Care and the doctor didn't think it was anything other than muscle...

Hi, can anybody help me with my backward walkovers on beam. However hard I try, I can't get my hands together. Has anybody got any tips please?

I need it by August for the next level. I don't have a backbend kickover because my back and shoulders are stiff. Is it possible to gain back and shoulder flexibility and get a backbend kickover by then? That is the one skill that will move me forward. I am prepared to work hard enough to get it...

Is a back walkover allowed in a Xcel Silver beam routine?

I've never liked back walkovers because I believe they are the reason behind so many back problems and pains of gymnasts I've coached. When I started a new pre-team group two years ago I decided we won't spend too much time on them and we'll always carefully warm up the shoulders and back before...

I have a very flexible back and shoulders. I can put my head between my feet and I have a needle stretch. I was wondering how bad walkovers are for your back? May they cause injuries? Can you prevent them? Are front walkovers worse than back walkovers? Can simple stretching the back and...

Hi! I have good front splits (oversplits of about 4-5 inches) and also my middle split as well as great shoulder and back flexibility. I was wondering what you need to be able to hold your leg up when you are in a bridge and going to do a walkover. Or if you do a scale and hold your leg up in...

Does anyone have a video of a great back walkover back handspring connection on beam? (level 7) And a video of a close connection but no credit, I am struggling trying to decide whether or not one of my gymnasts is connecting, she did not get credit last meet, but I was not there so I didn't...

What kinds of things help you get these skills? I can't join my clubs squad until I have either of these skills so I'd like to get them pretty quickly! Also, to do a yurchenko vault what skills do you need to have?

Hi, I am really close to my bridge kickover (and i mean on the floor, i can do it easily on a cheese), and I was wondering if you guys have some tips on how to get all the way over. I have at least a 120 degree leg split when kicking over, so that's not the problem. When I come back from...

Which tends to be the more common series for level 6 or 7, the back walkover/back walkover with BHS separate or the back walkover/back handspring series with no extra bhs? DD already has the BWO/BWO and separate BHS and is connecting the BWO/BSH on the floor beam. Just wondering when each...

Any advice/tips on how to get my back walkover!?
