    Opinion on bhs, cartwheel series?

    I'm working level 8. I'm not sure what I should work for a series on beam; I'd like to do bhs bhs but my bhs are a little heavy so my coach isn't sure if that would work, I can't do bwos (they mess up my back) and I'm scared of roundoffs (after twisting my knee and almost breaking my foot...

    Back Handsprings.

    So I've been doing my back handspring for a couple of months and i injured my right shoulder. So when i do my back handspring i consciously turn towards the left side to avoid pressure on my right side. Basically my arms are turning to the side not directly behind like they should. I already...

I had never even done a backhandspring without the hill (though my coaches thought I was ready to try) and I got it the first time I...

    Opinions on FWO BHS series

    I'm wondering what everyone, especially judges, thinks of this. My dd has decided she wants to do FWO, BHS as her beam series for level 8. I think this was the idea of one of her coaches who is a former elite. I'm thinking this is going to be really hard to get credit for the connection...

    Coaches Back Handsprings

    Need help please! I have about 6 classes of tumblers. I have several that just can't seem to get over in their back handsprings. All of them have very little flexibility in their shoulders (which I tell them to also work on that part @ home...of course they don't); they are also pretty tall...

    Back handspring on beam

    Okay so I just got my back walkover on the high beam. I am comfortable with it now, so I was thinking maybe I should start working back handsprings. But as of now, I would NEVER try a back handspring on the high beam. If I missed my hands I would kill myself! Of course I'm going to practice...

    How are hands placed on backhandsprings on beam?

    We have had many opinions on this in the gym--- how do you, as a gymnast or coach, have your gymnasts place their hands on their back handsprings on beam? I'm not a fan of hands on top of each other, or just thumbs on the beam. Our head coach thinks if your LEFT foot is in front (and landing...

    Undercutting back handspring

    My L5 DD has recently developed some problems with her standing back handspring. She undercuts it and badly so she also looks archy and stick her head out. Her coach has been increasingly frustrated with her. She had a private with the head coach this weekend and they went back to drills...

    Bhs

    This question is just for curiosity, not asking from the standpoint of wanting to fix it, but...yesterday I was at my dd's all day team camp and I noticed a lot of the little girls just getting their BHS (my dd included) were all doing them with bent arms. All the coaches were having to stress...

    crooked bhs step out

    My DD has been trying to learn a bhs step out on for a long time. She hasn't progressed to a beam yet though. She is practicing on a line and will move to a beam when she can do it. She jumps back and always has her hands to the side of the line. She jumps back and goes to the side of the hand...

    Arm swing on BHS

    How much of an arm backswing should my dd have on her standing BHS. Tutorials I see online show the gymnasts with very large backswings, but my dd doesn't go much beyond her hips. Will the bigger backswing just come with time or should she be doing the big backswing now? She doesn't land in...
