    Should I buy a beam?

    Beam is what I struggle with the most and I don't get very much time on beam at the gym because the team girls are almost always using them. I think it would help me a lot to be able to work on simple things at home (leaps, jumps, turns, handstands, etc.). I can easily afford a floor beam for...

    round off on beam fear...please help me!

    Hey guys, So about 3 months ago I had my round off on the high beam, but my coaches made me re-learn it because i was landing sideways, however I was not afraid to do the skill. Now it's three months later and my roundoff that I re-learned is still on the low beam. My coaches say that its...

    Rubber Feet for Beam

    I coach at a YMCA, and we have to set up our beams before we practce. We have 2 beams. On one, the rubber feet are gone (and were when I started coaching here). On the other, the rubber feet have worn down from being improperly moved too many times. I have looked all over the internet, but I...

    Beam shoes?

    My daughter's beam coach is suggesting she get beam shoes--DD has had a continuing issue with her feet---she's broken two different toes (little toe and a middle toe) and has ripped off a nail on a toe--bleeding all over on different occasions (including at Regionals last week!). So my...

    Level 7 required skills for beam and floor

    My daughter is going to compete Level 7 in the fall. I'm curious what are the required beam and floor skills. She has said something about 'flight' on the beam so I'm guessing that is a back handspring, which I know she has. What else is different from Level 6? And what are the required...

    B's and C's on beam and floor

    Hey everyone, I haven't been on the ChalkBucket in forever but I'm looking for B's (and possibly C's if I can do any) for level 8 beam and floor. Or does anyone know where I can find a list of the values of skills? I was wondering what a 1.5 turn with leg at horizontal is worth on floor? and...

    Constantly going crooked on BWO on beam

    I thought I had my back walkover until for the past two months I didn't make one. So I go back and my hips just don't stay square. I try to keep them square but it is easier said then done. My hands go on the beam and then immediately I turn off, its basically a habit now. At my gym the only...

    Hand placement for BHS on beam

    I have noticed 2 different methods: (1) hands one in front of the other with the front hand pointing towards the end of the beam (2) both hands facing the same direction with all fingers pointing to the same side of the beam. Is one of these methods preferable or is it up to the individual to...

    Back walkover on beam?!

    Hey! So every Friday we have open workout so we get to work on whatever we need/want too. I usually work one routine and then some leaps and cartwheels on beam. Yesterday, I started doing back walkover on a floor beam. I landed them everytime. But I don't know how to keep my hands together? I...

    fear of handstand on beam!

    I'm almost 20 and just started an adult gym class in June. At first I was really good with beam and was able to get easy jumps and leaps and even a full turn (because I was a dancer for 14 years). I had my cross hanstand on medium beam and was totally fine with it. Then in August last year I had...

    Parents DD's first Level 4 meet - she got her beam dismount!!

    OK, it was messy, but she got it! Even in warm-up she wasn't getting it, but during the actual competition she was able to. I was sooooo proud! I felt for her, though, because she fell off doing the heel snap turn, which has never happened to her before. But she was very nervous and shaky...

    Blocks on beam?

    Hi, Beam isn't my best event. I can't jump on beam AT ALL and I can't cartwheel for my life. I was so excited on Tuesday because I figured out a GREAT jump series (tuck-wolf) which was terrible before, but it was looking great on Tues. It was so high, pointed toes, etc. Now, I have a block...

    Roundoff On Beam

    I'm trying to work on a roundoff on beam. I am a righty and i know my right foot is supposed to land in front of my left on the beam. But for some reason.. I can only get my left on the beam. I'm not scared to put the other foot on, but it just wont go on. Any advice? Drills?

    Back Walkover Back Handspring on Beam (connection)

    I am a level 8 gymnast. I am having trouble connecting back walkover into a back handspring. I can do it on the low beam without a problem, but when I go to the high beam, I force my self to swing my arms before I do the back handspring, so it isn't a connection. I am scared to do it on the...
