    Beam Handstand help

    My dd has been working on a handstand that she wants to put in her beam routine. She will be repeating the same level as last year (which is comparable to Level 5 USAG). This is a pretty risky move for her since she often arches too much in her handstand and then goes over and can't save it...

    Backhandspring on beam

    My daughter recently moved up to level 7. She has been having trouble with her backhandspring on beam. She consistantly gets her hands and front foot on the beam, but her back foot goes off to the side on just about every one. How does she get her back foot on the beam?

    Feet rips from beam?

    I recently started doing gymnastics again and I was doing full turns on beam and got this huge nasty foot rip, hurts something awful! Does this happen to anyone else? What do you do about it? I really don't want beam shoes.

    Back handspring + beam = AH! O_O

    I'm scared to do my back handspring on the beam... When I think to myself "Why even bother staying in gymnastics if im not going to try new things?" It helps but when I get on that beam.. I just totally freak out. So basically, I'm not scared to do my BHS on beam at all, until I get on the...

    backwards moves on beam

    for level 7 in canada you need a skill that goes backwards. Thats a bit of a problem for me becuase i like to do front rolls, cartwheels, and roundoffs. None of these skills go backwards. For level 7, i have three Bs (press mount, free-roll, roundoff), a split, but i have no backwards moves...

    Full turn on beam?

    So I've just about developed callouses on the balls of my feet from trying to work out how to perform a controlled full turn on the beam (I was practising at home on the tiled floor, using the line as the beam for accuracy). I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. The thing is, I can do them on...

I know its all in my head but i don't know what to do to stop psyching myself out, i try to...

    Front Sault off Beam

    I'm in Level 4, and our beam routine requires a ''straight jump' dismount, or, as a bonus, you can do a front sault. I can do a front sault off high beam onto a crash mat, but as soon as the mat is gone, I totally lose all confidence and get scared I'll hurt myself. How can I get over this?
