    WAG BHS Beam Arm Swing

    My daughter is working on her BHS on beam and she is able to do it well if she swings her arms. However, one of the coaches is now insisting that she learns it without leaning her chest forward and with zero arm swing (arms stay locked at the earns like a BWO). Is this an unusual approach? It...

    WAG Handstand backhandspring on beam

    How can I improve my handstand backhandspring for beam? I have a pretty solid backhandspring on beam. In my handstand backhandspring on floor I go back instead of up and I come down kinda hard on my hands. Usually, my hands don't make it on the line.

    Ok. So I understand this takes time and I am very much a beginner. I started in may. But so far, I can reliably do pretty solid front/back walkovers, Side aerials, front handsprings, and front and back limbers downs. I’ve also gotten the hang of connecting skills such as front walkover...

    T&T BHS BHS or BHS BT by May?

    I am hoping to join a college cheer squad and tryouts are in May. From what I've heard most require a BHS BHS or a BHS BT. For a while now I've been focusing on my front tumbling since I'm better at that but should I focus only on my back tumbling or perfect my front?
