    Doing acro and artistic

    This year, I've started to become interested in acrobatic gymnastics. I am thinking about joining, but I don't want to quit artistic either. So my questions are: about how many hours do acro gymnasts practice weekly? Is doing both feasible? Also, is there anywhere you can find a list of gyms...

    Parents Acro?

    Cross posted because it looks like the "other gymnastics" forum doesn't get much traffic... Are there any Acro families on this forum? DD has been interested in our old gym's acro team. She's currently training L4 artistic and I just wondered if there was anyone who had made the switch who...

    Acro?

    Are there any Acro families on this forum? DD has been interested in our old gym's acro team. She's currently training L4 artistic and I just wondered if there was anyone who had made the switch who either loved or regretted it.

    WAG Simone Biles Acro Floor Move.....What's it called???

    Does anyone know what the move Simone Biles does at the end of her 2013 floor routine is called if it even has a name??? It looks like a round off with a twist where she lands on the floor and bounces back up. My DD has been going crazy looking for the name and a break down of the move. Any...

    WAG beam acro

    Hi, everyone. As some of you know, my DD, who's competing L7 this year, has had a devil of a time with beam over the last year plus -- she has a very nice BWO BWO and a passable BHS but has been stuck there because she can't/won't do a HS BHS on the high beam. (She can do approximately 5 billion...

    WAG Acro class on the side?

    My DD (new lvl 4) has been dancing in addition to gymnastics for the past year, her dance teacher really wants her in her acro class (can't imagine why ;)) in addition to the jazz class she has been taking. Of course DD wants to do it, but would this be a bad idea? Would they teach skills with...

    Practicing flips and acro outside of a gym

    Hey guys!Does anyone have any good mat-substitute ideas for practicing acro outside of a gymnastics gym? I can't afford to keep going to an open gym. My progress is slow, I just need to do them over and over on my own. Any and all ideas appreciated. :)

    WAG Lots of acro skills in beam?

    It seems like the optional girls from my old gym, from what I've seen, do a lot of extra acro on beam in level 7......for example, one girl in addition to her series and flight also did a front walkover, another girl did a cartwheel-roundoff which fulfills the series and flight but then also did...

    Sports Acro!!!

    I'm pretty new to being a member on chalkbucket, but have been lurking for a while!!;) One thing that i have noticed is the lack of threads on Sports Acrobatics, i dont know whether this is purely because theres not many acrobatic gymnasts on here, or if you just skim the subject and join in...

    Forward/Sideward acro skill - Level 8 beam

    The other beam composition thread sparked this question in my mind - can a straddle press handstand count as a forward/sideward skill for Level 8 beam? Thanks in advance!

    Parents Acro video!

    For the past few years, DD has taken an acro class at the same dance school where her sister takes ballet and modern. FINALLY the videos I ordered from last spring's recital have arrived and thought you might enjoy her acro video. The only downside, as far as I'm concerned, about her gym switch...
