    Because of back problems, my coaches and I decided that instead of doing a BWO on beam for lv. 5 that I should do a back extension roll. I need to learn it quickly - I'm in the middle of my season. Anybody have any tips or tricks? I'm having trouble getting my hands on the beam and not rolling...

    WAG Back extension roll on beam

    Are two of these connected in a row worth anything? DD has been doing these in combination as well as a handstand back extension roll combo. She does both passes well. She will be competing the backhandspring not in combo with anything. She is training 7. Just curious what these things are worth.

    WAG Level 6 Beam-Back extension roll

    Does this meet the Level 6 requirements for beam?. DD was working on it for Level 5 instead of the BWO, but now the team is doing 6 instead. She is doing really well with it. I think it is actually a beautiful skill , but wondering if she can now use it.

    WAG Back extension on beam

    DD's coaches want her to include a back extension-BHS combination on beam and DD began working them yesterday. She is having fun because she likes working skills she doesn't see a whole lot. However, in the mean time, she is tearing the heck out of her skin on her upper back in the center. Is...
