dd finally got her backhand spring back tuck dismount on beam 2day. So proud of her. It just makes me feel better about her gym change. I have been so what iffing these last few months that it is nice to see progress.
OK, it was messy, but she got it! Even in warm-up she wasn't getting it, but during the actual competition she was able to. I was sooooo proud! I felt for her, though, because she fell off doing the heel snap turn, which has never happened to her before. But she was very nervous and shaky...
Hi I am new. I coach L3,4, and 5. There has been a dispute with the L5 beam dismount. I was informed the dismount was changed to the L6 dismount, then once we competed we were told that the dismount had never changed. Everyone seems to have a different answer, and many gyms are competing the L6...
My daughter is having a difficult time doing the fly-away. In fact, it kept her from advancing to level 8 last season. Her coach wants to try something new as she is just having a mental block letting go and flipping. She will swing her legs on the high bar in a straddle, let go, bounce on the...
Hi,
Just wondering what the deduction is when a gymnasts does not turn on her level 4 dismount and just goes straight down from the handstand? Then gets back up and completes it.
Thanks for your help.
I have really been struggling with the dismount on beam i just can't seem to get it all put together. I have a really archy handstand because I have very bad shoulder flexability and can never seem to get my arms over my head. I was wondering if anyone had any drills or suggestions on how to...
So as of this week, I'm now coaching the level 3s at our gym -- coming in right at the end of competition season! Friday I did beam and bars with them and was very disappointed to see that not one of them can properly do their beam dismount (cartwheel to handstand hollow body down to floor)...
Gah!
Sorry for not being on here in a bit. I've been busy with home-schooling and all that jazz.
So, I'm done with gymnastics again. I was going to stop in March.
I broke my foot flipping a beam dismount. Just a simple cartwheel, back-tuck! Why couldn't it have been a triple-duple-front-pike...
woohooOoo!! lol!!
The meet went well and Pixie did really well though I'm a bit perplexed. This is only her 2nd meet at this level. AA, performance wise, wasn't as strong but her scores blew her last meets scores outta the water!
From parents who have more experience at this, is there often...
Our new gym is working the new skills and I am thinking for the 2 sec hold for the level 5 handstand, they were having the girls work on the level 6 beam dismount. Our old gym would never have a single level 5 work this skill until they were level 6s so I was shocked. I was really shocked that...
