    back tucks on beam

    DD wants me to figure out if she doing her back tucks on beam correctly or not. She starts off with one foot slightly in front of the other then when she does the tuck she puts her feet back together, then tries to seperate them right before landing. Is this right? Or should she keep one foot...

    acro series on beam tips

    Hey, Are there any tips for connecting front handspring-back tuck on beam? I can do front handspring- back handspring fine, but for some reason I can't do the back tuck as easily. And by the way I'm not scared to go, I've done a lot of them, just I can't seem to connect most of them. Thanks

    Honey used on Beam?

    I was reading a thread, and I read that a coach allows honey to be used on the beam instead of chalk! Struck me funny. I was wondering why you would do this, the pros and cons of it and honey on the apparatus vs. chalk on it.

    Parents Is there any reason to not allow gymnasts to use chalk on beam?

    Cartwheels and Handstands On Beam... Oh My!

    I have been doing cartwheels and handstands on low beam for a year, but I cannot do them on high beam. I am afraid of falling over in my handstand, and my coaches tell me to twist off, but I don't know how!!! Also, when I practice them on the floor beam, I often fall completely to the side...

    MIOBI beam...

    For those who watch make it or break it: Did anyone else notice how WIDE the beam was? It makes sense, so the stunt doubles and actresses can do everything, but they never showed it until recently. It was especially noticeable in the finale... It looked to be at LEAST a foot wide! I just...
