walkover

I'm having trouble with my back walkover. I can do it with a spot but when i try by myself i pull out. Does anyone know how to gain trust to myself? Any comments would be appreciated

I am trying to learn my back walkover on beam. I've been practicing it on a 1" high mat beam thing. I can land my feet straight on it but can't get my hands together on it. Does anyone have tips for keeping your hands together so they go on the beam?

I was just thinking how cool a FWO-FT dismont off beam would be. I've never seen before. You can't compete flight element in my level so FHS-FT is out of the question. It's bonus if you have a connected dismount. Can't do CW-BT (I can't cartwheel- I can do FWO, BWO, BHS but not a cartwheel...

I know its not amazing to many but DD had a light-bulb moment today and has managed her front walkover. She has had a front limber for months but not the step-out, and today she just started practicing on the carpet ( much to her brothers' disgust as they were playing on the Wii) and after...

I was wondering if there are any tips on how to not jump to my hands when I am about 2 inches from the floor max when I am doing my back walkover. A little background info: I am in x-cel and have been doing gym for about 3 years and have had my back walkover for that long although the hop is a...

Hi, I really can't seem to be able to kickover after I go into a back arch from standing.:confused: Does anyone have any tips to try to kick over? I know it might seem very simple but it really isn't for me! Thank you:) :D

I'm really close to getting my front walkover. Really, REALLY close. I get up a few inches, but then I either fall back or fall forward. Does anybody know any drills or strength exercises that will help me get my front walkover? Because failing at it again and again isn't helping- at all.

So I have been trying to get my FWO on beam.... Here is the thing, Im not scared! BUT... I cant get over! My split handstand is fine, but when I try to do the walkover...NOPE! I just cant get that foot down! Does anyone know some tricks? :mad:

Hey everyone! In the last couple of weeks I've developed a fear of doing back walkovers on high beam, for no reason at all. They've always made me a bit nervous, but I do them every practice and it hasn't been a problem until now. It seems to have started when I began training round-off back...

Hi! I just have a quick question about head placement. Back Walkover: As soon as I bend backwards my head goes back and I look for the floor, should you head really be so your arms cover your ears and your head is neutral the whole way? Also for a handstand...well in general, should you...

Hey there! I'm here to ask for help! A few months ago I was reading the Acro CoP, and saw a skill called the Russian Walkover. Some people call it Back Half Reverse, and I've seen it done as a back walkover stopping in handstand, half turn, front walkover, but I would prefer the version in the...

Hey! So every Friday we have open workout so we get to work on whatever we need/want too. I usually work one routine and then some leaps and cartwheels on beam. Yesterday, I started doing back walkover on a floor beam. I landed them everytime. But I don't know how to keep my hands together? I...

I am a level 8 gymnast. I am having trouble connecting back walkover into a back handspring. I can do it on the low beam without a problem, but when I go to the high beam, I force my self to swing my arms before I do the back handspring, so it isn't a connection. I am scared to do it on the...

So I have been having lots of trouble on my bwo connection. I can make the first one easily, but as soon as I try to go for the next one, I freeze! My coach says to just keep moving my hands back, but this doesn't seem to help. I can connect them perfectly on the floor. Any tips? :confused:

What can I do to get my strength up before starting training on them.. I used to be able to do them at home. but now it is pitiful. any suggestions?

My daughter is experiencing a mental block on beam while doing her back walkover. She has been falling on just about every one, and has not even been able to get one foot on. It seems that her hips are not square and no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to land them. Any tips are...

HELP!!! DD has had her standing backbend into back walkover for over a year now. Her class just started working on doing it on one leg and she is STRUGGLING- she can only do it with a heavy spot. Any exercises she can do to help her build whatever muscles she is lacking to make this possible...

Hey all, Competitions are coming up and I really need my front walkover on beam ASAP. Any tips or advice? Thanks

I have a super happy girl here today and just had to share her exciting news ;) Rylee decided (today) that she would like to learn how to do a back walkover. After 3 'spots' she did it by herself (and she was yelling, "I DID IT!! I GOT IT!!!"... haha... love it when that happens)...
