    Women Who has a press handstand on beam? I have a question!

    Today my coach spotted my straddle press handstand on beam. I did it "longways", on the narrow side, I don't know how I should explain that, but like where your hands are so close together that they are touching! Like this: He said this is super hard, because your hands are so close together...

    Parents Level 5 Beam

    Are there higher points for competing a back hand spring or a back extension roll on the beam instead of the back walk over? My daughter's coach wants her to compete the back hand spring next season since she already has it.

    Women Searching for a beam skill

    Has anyone ever done a full twisting layout-step out on beam, or is it just my imagination? I thought that maybe I remembered a clip of Casey Jo Magee messing with one (on a floor beam maybe?) a few years ago when her elite comeback was the next big thing, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone?

    Women Back handsprings on beam differences

    I just wondered if a back handspring step out and one to two feet at the same time are worth the same?

    Women Forward roll on beam

    So who competes forward roll on beam (ie countries and levels) and what does it lead to? We don't do it at all here in Australia (that I know of) and it just sounds uncomfortable to me, lol.

I have had it for awhile but then we will stop doing them and I will lose it again so its very frustrating having to re-learn in during practise.

    Women What to do with beam?

    A friend of ours very generously gave us a balance beam for DDs to practice on at home. It's an 8 foot beam that has metal risers about a foot off the ground. Due to space, we can't keep it inside. It's sitting in our garage now, but the girls can't use it in there. We would like to put it...

    Handstand forward roll on beam?

    My DD is 8 turning 9 this year. She is currently achieving lots of new skills, one she did today was a handstand forward roll on high beam. She is relatively new to competitive gymnastics and I'm just learning as she goes too (a lot of info from here) but this has me thrown. I've never seen one...

    Women Backhand springs on beam

    I'm still very new here, and still feel new to the whole gym thing (DD just finished 2nd year competing, she's in 5th grade), and I always have what I think are stupid questions, so I don't ask at the gym, etc. Anyway, I figured I could ask you fine folks :) Does anyone have any tips to...

    Women Round-off on beam?

    I recently had my round-off on a high beam with matts stacked under it. They were pretty good, but one day as I went to do one I couldn't do it. I fell pretty bad, and now I'm kind of afraid to do it! I've been doing them on the low beam, but they are not as good. Whenever I try to do it on the...

    Women Hand position for back flick on beam?

    Hi Everyone, What is the correct hand placement for a back flick (or back handspring if you're American) on beam? In my old gymnastics club, they told me to place one hand in front of the other. Now that I'm used to this way of doing it, it's fine although at first it made me twist a bit. In my...
