    Why do bars seem to be hardest event?

    There have been a number of posts over the past couple years on needing help on bars. I also notice at DD's gym that bars seem to be the lowest scoring apparatus and the one to hold girls back. What is it about bars that makes it more of a struggle than the other events? Bars is actually my...

    Handstand and/or floor bars

    My DD is asking me to purchase a floor/handstand bar. 1) is this safe to purchase for home use, 2) if so, what length (48 or 60 inches) and height (6 or 12 inches) is best, 3) some paralettes come in pairs and some single, which is preferrable, 4) any suggestions on brand, type, etc? Muchas...

    Coaches Deduction for Extra Swing/Pauses (Level 6 Bars)

    I meant to look this up before I left work but forgot and am sure somewhere here knows the answer. I was thinking an extra swing in the level 6 bar routine was around a .3 deduction, but what about pausing to adjust grip or just stopping before the next skill? Is it the same or a lesser...

    Parents Please shoo bars fairies this way!

    Younger DD is soooooooo very close to her mill circle and her front hip circle. She did the mill circle today...once...in a private lesson with the head coach. But, the problem is, the coach had to tell her she was spotting her with one finger. (DD is scared of this skill). So, DD does not...

    Bars. Holding me back

    I am a level 7 gymnast, but on bars I would say my skill level is still at level 5! I onlt got moved up because I can do all the skills on bars, but my skill level on every other event is 8/9. My problem with bars is that my kip is very inconsistent. I get up 95% of the time but half of the time...

    Parents Level 7 bars question

    Hi there - my older dd (Level 7) has her state meet coming up and her coach has decided to have her compete 2 clear circles for the meet. She has scored a 9.05 and a 9.15 on her routine this year without a giant, but my question is do you think the judges are less likely to give a high score at...

    help with bars connections for adult gymnast!

    I have a few separate skills on bars: front and back hip circles, cast squat on, pullover, tap swings, and almost a kip, but I'm having trouble connecting two skills together. I'm trying to start with connecting a fhc and bhc and I can get it pretty easily with one small cast in between. I think...

    Pirouette On Bars

    I am a level 8 gymnast. I am having trouble doing pirouette on the bars. I'm not scared of it, I'm just having trouble doing it. I have a good cast to handstand, but I wait too long to turn, and then I can't seem to get over in the pirouette. When I do get over, I can't control it that well...

    Level 8 Bars Deduction

    DD2 is competing level 8 at the new gym this season. She has come so far on all the events but she is still struggling on bars. Her coach said that it is 3 tenths deduction every time you don't hit handstand. So she is getting 6 tenths off for just casts. 3 tenths for not hitting cast hs...

    Bars help!!!!!! Please respond!!!!!!

    When I make my giantes, they're awesome. But most of the time I fall. Sometimes It's usually because of my cast. I really would like to find a way to keep my giantes consistant no matter how big my cast is. I have been very stressed because we have a meet in a couple days and I really would like...

    Grips on bars...a must not?

    My daughter is now doing her cast to handstand on bars and moving into "tougher" elements or so I think as I really am not very knowledgeable about gymanstics. I have noticed that most of the "provincial" gymnasts and some of the "national" gymansts wear grips when doing bars. Our group which...
