    WAG Do you need a back tumbling pass?

    Do you need a backwards tumbling pass for a level 9 and/or 10 floor routine? If so, do you know what the deduction is for not having one? Thanks!

    Coaches Back Tumbling Issue

    I have a gymnast that is an Xcel Gold. She struggles with a block on her back tumbling off and on. We typically try to ignore it and have her do front tumbling when this happens. Looking for some possible options. First pass: Front handspring, Front tuck, Is a front pike an option for the...

    WAG Odd question re:back tumbling vs. front tumbling

    Does back tumbling affect your back more than front tumbling? On Monday, my DD did a robhsbt and over-rotated it. She apparently managed to still land it on her feet, but reportedly tweaked her mid-back. She's been complaining on and off about pain, to varying degrees. The next day, we knew...

    MAG Back Tumbling

    D is learning his double back, double full, back lay with 2 1/2 twists. But, he is learning them all right out of a roundoff...no backhandspring. Is this normal and ok?

    Coaches Head Out on Back Tumbling

    I have an eight year old Level 4 who does atrocious back handsprings - she throws her head way out to complete them. I have tried having her put foam under her chin, bite her leo, etc…but nothing has worked. I have tried spotting her through it heavily and reinforcing the head position, but she...

    WAG New fear of back tumbling

    A level 4 gymnast scared of back tumbling for the past two practices. The first day yesterday she had one turn left and didn't go for RO 2 BHS. I spotted it. Today I spotted one and she did all but a couple but from only a step hurdle. Just want to make sure I approach it the right way since it...

    Coaches Landing shapes for back tumbling

    I had a regrettably brief discussion with Mike Lynch about this at a recent clinic, and I wanted to see what you all think. When transitioning into a backhandspring out of either a roundoff, a backhandspring, or a whip, what is the ideal landing position? What Mike was saying (and hopefully...

    Random question- Do you like front or back tumbling better? Mine is front tumbling.

    MAG Floor (back tumbling)

    I have problem with throwing my head back with things like double back. And I don't know where I am during twisting due to this. Sometimes when I go for 1 1/2 I pull a double or when I go for double I will triple. I'm trying to relearn the basics of floor since I'm starting to come back to the...

    Coaches Daughter who has back tumbling fears, but great front tumbling.. What to do?

    Hi Coaches.. my daughter started her back tumbling fear in level 6 with the ro bhs btuck. She can do it, but at times will have her mental block take over and will chicken out. Her front tumbling is great. Its fast and fearless. She completed level 6 and wanted to move to level 7, but her gym...

    Back Tumbling Fears

    So i never liked tumbling from the very beginning. I thought it involved wayyy too much energy, but i was willing to put up with it because i dreamed of being a college gymnast. Well, over the summer, we started doing all these drills for tumbling (we got a new coach) and i found out that i have...

    Front to back tumbling line options

    I need to tumble front to back next year, and I'm wanting to get a head start. However, I'm not sure what elements are in a front to back line. Are these considered front-to-back tumbling lines? FT-RO-BT FT-RO-BHS-BT FHS-RO-BT FHS-RO-BHS-BT FHS-FT-RO-BT FHS-FT-RO-BHS-BT And so on and so...

    Back tumbling fear issues...help please.

    i have a level 7 gymnast that is VERY afraid of going backwards. This is her second year at level 7 and last season went fine. Something happened at the beginning this summer and now she is afraid to tumble backwards, anything backwards on the beam and will not do a flyaway. Is there anything i...

    Finally - Back tumbling (Luck required!)

    Tonight I am finally going to ease my way into backwards tumbling. I always had a huge fear about it when I was a competetive gymnast (low levels.... very low) and I have decided that today is the day. I shall begin with a back tuck from the trampoline onto one of those REALLY soft mats and go...

    Stupid Back Tumbling Mind Blocks

    Mind blocks are the death of any gymnast, and it seems to happen to the best. Last year, one of our gymnasts won Level 5 AA at state, so it would seem smart to move her up to 6: strong gymnast, good basics. Then over summer, she just decided to give up on back tumbling: WILL NOT do Round off...

    Motion sickness from back tumbling

    I don't have advice, but I am the same. I was taking a tumbling class and we would sometimes do back rolls in warmups - very dizzy. Same with BHS. I teach preschool and demonstrated a forward roll on a wedge - same thing. I have to stick to handstands & cartwheels. I am no help, but she is...

    Help Me! Back Tumbling Fear

    I do my bhs and back tuck on the trampoline and on a mat all the time but I just can't do it out on the floor! :eek: I feel like I will hit my head. I feel like such a wimp too, since I can throw fronts when my form is worse on those than in my back tumbling. I feel like everything will be...

    Coaches Technique discussion: back tumbling

    This is basically an offshoot of a side discussion we were having in the vault thread. I'd like to leave this fairly open; we can discuss handpsrings, tucks, layouts, doubles, whatever. I'll post my thoughts/philosophies later, when I have a bit more time to write them up.
