    Parents Backward beam skills...fears?!

    My DD has recently been struggling with back walkover and back handsprings on beam, as well as vertical handstand and cartwheel there for awhile... She has never done a BHS on beam without a spot but was willing to try and could get it with spotting. I literally watched her body refuse to go...

    Women Beam input please

    Dd had her first usag meet today level 4. During the inhouse meet, she scored 8.8 on beam, today she scored 7.9, she did fell. This is her first year as a level 4 and came straight from lv 3, spent 1 year there too. She's 8 and was group 9 and under. I was wondering if there's any coaches...

    Women Crooked back walkover on beam

    DD has had an issue for the past few months where she tends to go crooked on the bwo on the high beam and fall off the side of the beam. And not just barely missing her feet, but more like going at a 45 degree angle or more off the beam. She had it fine for a few months before this started...

    Parents Dear beam cartwheel

    i hate you. Seriously. My poor DD is so frustrated we have had tears now every beam night for a week. Private tomorrow to hopefully figure out the issue. I think there's some confidence involved. But dammit I'm over that skill.

    Women Level 7 beam

    Parents Fear on beam

    So my lvl 3 8yo is terrified of doing a handstand on the beam. She does it perfectly on the low practice beams but come time to do it on the regular beams it goes like this: 1st time fine, second time she works her self up still fine, by the time she gets to 4 or 5 she has worked herself up...

    Parents Has anyone's dd done cartwheel/round off L7 beam instead of BHS?

    My dd, age 12, is having a huge mental block on BHS on high beam. It's ridiculous. So bad that the coach is thinking of having her compete 6 until this issue resolves. Her coach wants BHS on beam, states the judges don't like round off's instead of BHS. She has all her other level 7 skills, a...

    Women BWO On Beam

    I'm trying to get my back walkover on beam, but I can't get my hands on the beam. I'm not scared of it, and my shoulders are really flexible, but when I'm about 2-3 inches away from the beam, my hands seperate. Even with a full spot, on a low beam with panel mats stacked to height, I just can't...

    Women Splashdown on Beam

    DD started working something on beam she's calling a splashdown. It's a handspring where her legs don't touch beam as she describes it. Is there another name for it? She is wondering whether she needs to hit handstand for it to get full credit (she's doing it out of a back tuck). I think her...

    Leaps On Beam

    A few weeks ago During practice we were doing regular leaps on the high beams, I went for one and my foot slipped and I somehow slid down the beam and I had a beam burn (is a beam burn a thing?) down the outside part of my leg. Now when I do leaps on beam they are so small and I want to fix it I...

    Women What's the difference between tumbling and beam shoes?

    Hi all, I recently bought and started using the Pegasus All Around shoes and love them. However, I have noticed that when I do turns with them on beam, they leave quite a mark on the beam cover. I'm going to a camp at another gym this weekend and don't want to be ruining their equipment. So...

    Women Back Handspring on beam :(

    I am terrified of back handsprings on beam.:eek: I used to be really good at them on the high beam, but I have a mental block:mad: Every time my coach tells me to do them, I just act like I didn't hear her. I really want to move up though, and this is the last skill I need. I only have until...
