    Flic on beam

    Hello, Just wanted some thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of a late split vs early split in a beam flic. My preferance is late and I think this generates more power, where as splitting off the beam is counterproductive. But I'd like to hear some other opinions.

    Back Walkover Connection on Beam?

    So I have been having lots of trouble on my bwo connection. I can make the first one easily, but as soon as I try to go for the next one, I freeze! My coach says to just keep moving my hands back, but this doesn't seem to help. I can connect them perfectly on the floor. Any tips? :confused:

    Fear of going backward on Beam

    Tonight at gymnastics on beam it was terrible, same with last week as well. I have had a back walkover inconsistently for about a year. I am able to do it on the high beam, but I usually make my hands on the beam not my feet. Anyway, tonight I was scared to go back at all. I didn't want to do it...

    Level 6 Beam Deduction Question

    DD had a meet this weekend and had a good, clean beam routine. When she went to handstand to dismount, she didn't make it up all the way and came back down on the beam. She then re-did the handstand but into the turned position and dismounted. My question is, did she lose all points for that...

    Shaking on Beam

    During meets, I always shake really bad on beam. This makes it very difficult for me to keep moving throughout my routine without wobbling a lot. I didn't connect my series or my dance series at the last meet because I was so nervous. Does anyone have any special little tricks to help with this?

    L8 Beam Flight Series Options??????

    My daughter is recovering from back issues. Her series was a BHS/BHS (which she did well) but switched to a Cartwheel/RO to heal.

    Level 7 Beam Leap & Turn

    I was looking over the optional requirements the other day and wondered, if a routine includes a 180° split jump is a leap still required? My question for the turn is, can a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 turn be used at level 7?

    Just a little brag here. My older daughter (13 1/2) got her back tuck series on beam the other night, stuck. She was quite happy but also bummed that she can't do it at level 8.
