    WAG BHS on beam - hand placement

    Quick question, mostly out of curiosity. My DD is being coached to change her hand placement on her beam BHS-step out. She is a lefty in gymnastics (in all gymnastics skills she favors her left side -- tumbling, splits, leaps, etc. -- although she is a "righty" when it comes to everything else...

    WAG Standing Back Handspring (step out) problems

    Basically I have had SO many problems with my back handsprings, especially standing! I have had a standing back handspring for about six months now, and my form has been all over the place. I have attached a video of one of my "better ones", but here are my known issues with my back handspring...

    WAG Bent arms on beam BHS?

    Is it technically wrong (and presumably a deduction) to have bent arms on a BHS on beam? Just wondering because some of DD's teammates bend their arms and I worry that they're going to smack their faces onto the beam one of these days... Wanted input from more knowledgeable people! Thanks.

    WAG Back Handspring On Beam Mental Block

    So I competed my back handspring on beam all season last year. I had the prettiest back handspring on my team, and I even liked doing them. But one day, I suddenly got a mental block. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but now I have had the mental block for 10 months. I can’t even do it on the...

    BHS mental block

    hello everybody! I’m having a bit of trouble keeping my backhandspring. I tend to have it for a few hours consistently and then hours later I just can’t seem to do it and blank right before the skill. It’s getting very frustrating and causing loads of tears. I know I can do it and have done it...

    WAG Hands slipping on BHS on beam

    This is my first post- my daughter is a level 6 and her hands are slipping frequently when she does her bhs on beam. She has the correct hand position and fear is not much of a factor but her hands keep slipping which is keeping her from doing the skill. Any suggestions on how to fix this...

    Parents BHS

    Is not having a super strong standing bridge going to slow down my 6 year old dd bhs progress? Do typically girls with very flexible backs (but little arm strength) get their bhs before others? Her back walkover is ok, not pretty like some other BWO I’ve seen. A standing backbend is her least...
