    Parents bwo on beam

    Hi, I hope you don't mind, I posted this in the UK forum, but it's pretty quiet in there, so I've put it in here as well, and I'm hoping the rules in other countries are the same as the UK. Just a technical question. If you start the bwo on beam without lifting the leg first, does it still...

    bwo on beam

    Hi everyone, just a technical question. If you start the bwo on beam without lifting the leg first, does it still count as a bwo? ie if you basically do the bridge part mostly on two legs and then kick over (in one fluent motion) if that makes sense? Thanks!

    Women Xcel Gold Beam Routine Input

    I already asked this in the Xcel social group and have one awesome reply already but would like feedback on a Gold Beam routine. Would this routine work for a 10.0 SV: Leap-Sissone, BWO, full turn, split jump-straight jump, front tuck dismount. I think it's missing a second acro skill, but the...

    Fear of backwalkovers on beam

    Ok this fear is driving me insane!! I had a backwalkover on beam last summer but I didn't work on them during practice so I lost the skill. Now I'm too scared to go backwards. I'm not scared of putting my hands on the beam just of the actual going backwards part. I can do it fine with a spot...

    Women Tips for getting both hands on the beam for a back handspring?

    So my back handspring on beam, as you can tell by the title, has a problem. My legs are straight, I have good height, I go straight - everything is good except for one thing. I can only get one hand on the beam. Because of this, I've been working on the low beam for a while, but while I've...

    Women Beam routine question

    So, i'm re-choreographing my beam routine for next season, and i have a few skills that i don't feel confident about ( falling out of full turn, cat leap with low knees so it doesn't get credit etc.).

    Women Beam back handspring troubles

    I can do a backhand spring on floor with pretty straight arms but once I try to put my hands together my body just collapses. All my coaches are inexperienced high school boys so they can't help me with anything.
