    WAG Beam Mount Question DP level 6

    Weird question: Can a back extension roll be used as a beam mount? The gymnast would stand on the floor, back to the beam, and then do a back extension roll to handstand and then lay their stomach on the beam to get to front support on the beam. The reason I ask is one of my gymnasts wants it...

    Anon Level 6/7 Beam Mount Scoring

    Wondering if a more "complicated" beam mount offers anything of value to a score at levels 6/7. The TOPS/HOPES/elite coach at her gym asked to do her beam choreography (yep, that was weird...my kid literally has no chance of being moved to that group, nor would we agree to it, so it was not...

    WAG Level 10 beam mount downgraded

    My daughters beam mount just got downgraded from a D to a C... In the grand scheme of things, how does that effect her start value for beam?

    Coaches Beam mount?

    The old level 6 beam mount still holds an A value correct? I don't see it in the code of points

    WAG Level 2 Beam Mount tips

    Hi! My daughter is really struggling to keep her legs straight on her Level 2 beam mount (while they are swinging to the push-up position). She is getting frustrated and is looking for tips. She says she is squeezing them as hard as she can but they still bend just a little. In general, she...

    Coaches Level 4 beam mount bonus

    I am an AUS coach so I don't know what the terms are in the US for this skill, but we call it a tuck through to pike hold or a squat through to pike. It is a mount on beam that my gymnasts are competing this year. Many of the girls are having trouble not touching the beam with their feet on the...

    Parents new level 4 beam mount for lefty

    My DD is very confused on her beam mount for the new level 4 routine. She is a lefty and has always done the leg swing mount on the old levels by swinging her LEFT leg over the beam. However during practices of the new level 4 routine her coach is having all girls (left and right legged girls)...

    Parents Straddle split beam mount

    I never taken gymnastics classes as a kid but put my dd ( now 4 year old) in it. She gained strength and flexibility. Now she keeps practicing at home. I never ask her to go anything. She is not allowed go do anything dangerous at home. She can do splits and maybe cartwheels at home. But that...

    Beam Mount Ideas?

    Hey guys, so as you all know I am an Intermediate Optional, so therefore I get to have my own beam routine. That being said I have always wanted my mount to be similar to Jordyn Wieber's, but one of the coaches doesn't like middle splits as a mount because of the common flexed feet/bent knee...

    Deduction for level 5 beam mount

    Hi - My DD has been suffering from Osgood Sclatters in her knees for over 4 months and it is pretty bad. She still goes to practice every day, but has had to modify her workout. Minimal tumbling, not much running, no deep bending. So, she has not done her level 5 beam mount (legs in V, to feet...

    Value and Bonus for Beam Mount

    I am competing level 8 again this year, and having most of my skills on beam at this point I've had some time to mess around with mounts. One mount that I've found pretty interesting/fun is the Silvias (jump to chest stand, 1/1 spin on neck/shoulders), only I jump to chest stand immediately and...

    Level 7 beam mount

    Is it worth doing a press handstand mount vs something safer? Dd coach wants her to do this in her routine and someone said it was a too risky to chance a fall for a mount.

    Level 5 Beam Mount

    My dd is a first year level 5, and is half-way through her season. She really struggles with the mount on beam, and I am hoping for some advice or excercises she can do at home to help. From what I can see, after her v-sit, she puts her left heel down on the beam to stand up. It makes more...

    Level 8/9 Beam Mount

    My DD competed Level 8 last and her beam mount was some kind of swing onto beam, never could find it in the code of points, but I believed she got credit for an A element. This year I heard that beam mounts will have to be directly "out of the code of elements" to get credit. Is this true? Can...

    Beam mount for L7?

    My DD cant decide on a mount for her beam routine and does a little "side saddle" hop up but wants something different. She is small and strong but needs a spring board for that one even. Any ideas about what some really neat beam mounts would be to give her some more to chose from and work...
