walkover

Any advice on how to get my front walkover?!

First off, sorry I post so much, this will be the last for awhile! I'm 13 almost 14 and thought I had no chance of being invited to team or even pre team. But my coach said she wanted to see my back bend kick over because I'll need it for team and to keep my arms near my ears for TEAM!!!!!! I...

Okay so when I was a level five (now four) I had my front walkover on high beam no problem, I stuck them every time. We took a little break from front walkovers and now I cant do them even on the low beam. I get to a split handstand and just turn of. Any tips? P.S I have my front walkover on...

My little one brought her little foam roll-up beam out of the closet last night at 10:00. I said, "Sweetie, why are you getting that out right now?" She replied, "I need to get my back walkover on beam!" I said, "Why? You don't need that skill for this next level." She gave me the look and...

DD has been trying to get her front walkover for awhile now and is having a problem with the landing. 99.9% of the time, she lands on her toes and her leg gives beneath her, and she ends up on her back. What's the issue? Thanks!

I am in level 3 ( working on level 4 skills ) but i cant do a back walkover. I can do a back handspring and front handspring, but yet i cant do a back walkover. My coach says i have to push off with my right leg, because it is stronger. I do that, but i still get stuck in the air and then i go...

I always hear different opinions on this matter. Do the high level optionals at your club do back walkovers as a part of their regular training? For example...do your L9/10's have a basic slow tumbling warm-up/complex that leads them through front & back walkovers?...or do you keep away from...

im competing level 5 this year so i dont need it just yet but my coach wants us to have it by the end of season to get to backhand springs! all the other girls have it on low beam! the thing is i terrified of them i can do it easily with spot on low beam my coach just puts her hand on my back to...

Hello, so I was going to compete level 6 this year but decided against it to compete level 5 and have a good season. So I've been uptraining level 6 skills as this is my second year in level 5. However, back walkovers hurt my back SOOO much!! It's my lower back to my left side. I used to be...

I have a pretty flexible back, so I have been doing front walkovers on beam. I will be having a front walkover in my routine this year. Well, every once in a while I freak out half way through and turn out, it definitely has taken a toll on my back. So I was wondering if anyone has any good...

okay, so this fear is driving me insane. :mad: i started back walkovers on beam during August. I got it the first night i started it, and it seemed so easy for me at the time. But ever sense then, each night, i go into my gym, do it on the fat beam (which is attached to a low beam), and then i...

Hi I am a level 3 gymnast and i need to get my front walkover before i can go up to level 4. Does anyone know how to get it. I can get to bridge but can't get up:( Any comments would be appreciated.

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 swear to God I would rather chuck a double back on beam then a back walkover, liek serious, will not do them. What are some other skills I could work on? Here are a list of skills on beam I can already do... Handstand Handtsnad front roll Front Walkover Back Shoulder Roll Cartwheel Any...

My daughter seems to switch dominant sides depending on activity. Writing, she writers with her right hand. Cartwheels/Roundoffs ... she leads with her left side. She just started doing back walkovers, and she's leading with her right side, I think? (Her right leg is leading the split over...

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...

So, I'm starting my back walkovers. =D I know in a back walkover, you have to start with one leg lifted up off the ground, so you'll need more power through the pushing leg because you can't really swing that leg. The reason I had trouble with backbend kickovers was just not having enough...

Hello, I am currently a level 6 gymnast and in order to get my back walkover on beam I did them over and over until I finally got it. After this my lower back was in alot of pain but I figured I was just sore but its been alittle over a month and although It feels somewhat better my back...

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...
