back walkover

SO... About 1 year ago, I started back walkovers on beam, at home.. I had them just wonderful on my high beam! I wasn't scared at all! NOW>> A year later Im working them at gym, and there is a HUGE mental block on me! I have never missed my hands, never had a nasty fall on them but the high...

Hey everyone! In the last couple of weeks I've developed a fear of doing back walkovers on high beam, for no reason at all. They've always made me a bit nervous, but I do them every practice and it hasn't been a problem until now. It seems to have started when I began training round-off back...

Hi! I just have a quick question about head placement. Back Walkover: As soon as I bend backwards my head goes back and I look for the floor, should you head really be so your arms cover your ears and your head is neutral the whole way? Also for a handstand...well in general, should you...

I thought I had my back walkover until for the past two months I didn't make one. So I go back and my hips just don't stay square. I try to keep them square but it is easier said then done. My hands go on the beam and then immediately I turn off, its basically a habit now. At my gym the only...

Hey! So every Friday we have open workout so we get to work on whatever we need/want too. I usually work one routine and then some leaps and cartwheels on beam. Yesterday, I started doing back walkover on a floor beam. I landed them everytime. But I don't know how to keep my hands together? I...

I am a level 8 gymnast. I am having trouble connecting back walkover into a back handspring. I can do it on the low beam without a problem, but when I go to the high beam, I force my self to swing my arms before I do the back handspring, so it isn't a connection. I am scared to do it on the...

So I have been having lots of trouble on my bwo connection. I can make the first one easily, but as soon as I try to go for the next one, I freeze! My coach says to just keep moving my hands back, but this doesn't seem to help. I can connect them perfectly on the floor. Any tips? :confused:

hello, i am very scared of my back walkovers on the high beam. I had my back walkover in october with no fear on the high beam. Later i got sick and was out for 2 weeks and got very scared. i dont know why im scared or what to do about it, does anyone have some suggestions?

Just curious, how important do you think back walkovers are in the process of progressing to back handsprings? Do you find back walkovers to be more important for girls than boys? Or more important for artistic gymnasts versus T&Ters? I ask because where I currently coach, bridge kickovers and...

I've been trying and now i can't even go backwards at home... ughhh.:confused:

What can I do to get my strength up before starting training on them.. I used to be able to do them at home. but now it is pitiful. any suggestions?

Here's a video of me at open gym working my bwo bhs on beam and my double fulls into the resi. My mom only got like 3 videos of my bwo bhs and she missed all the good ones :( And my double fulls need a lot of work. I don't set up at all! Any constructive critism is appreciated :) YiIElcc6fxg

My daughter is experiencing a mental block on beam while doing her back walkover. She has been falling on just about every one, and has not even been able to get one foot on. It seems that her hips are not square and no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to land them. Any tips are...

HELP!!! DD has had her standing backbend into back walkover for over a year now. Her class just started working on doing it on one leg and she is STRUGGLING- she can only do it with a heavy spot. Any exercises she can do to help her build whatever muscles she is lacking to make this possible...

I have a super happy girl here today and just had to share her exciting news ;) Rylee decided (today) that she would like to learn how to do a back walkover. After 3 'spots' she did it by herself (and she was yelling, "I DID IT!! I GOT IT!!!"... haha... love it when that happens)...

I have been working on a backwalkover on beam. I have probably been working on it for about 10 months. :mad: I can do it on low beam without panel mats on the side, but whenever I go to the medium sized beam (about 2 feet above the groound), my coach will stand thre ready to spot me and i just...

Ok, in a different thread I read that bhs bwo isnt counted as a seires in some states. My friend was wondering if it is counted as a seires in CA where she lives,because she is interested in doing it for level 8 this year. Thanks, Optinals rocks!!

I've had my back walkover on beam for 2 years now and I usually always land it except lately as soon as my hands hit the beam I already know I'm not going to land it because I'm not even in close to being in line with the beam anymore... what am I doing wrong ?

When I do my back walkover with a little support i tend to fall back onto my hands kind of hard....is there anyway I can train myself to not fall on my wrists as hard ?I've tried going slower but I'm still hitting then pretty hard...help please :)Thanks xx
