    Is DD missing a beam element?

    Help! My Level 7 DD has changed her beam routine so many times I am almost too nervous to go to her meets :eek:. This last change was a good one...she added her BHS to her BWO. However, she took the other BHS out (her series used to be BWO-BWO, then she did a BHS separately). The Level 7...

    Parents Charleston Cup Meet. Mini Earthquake while on Beam. Only thing I can think of.

    Boy was Charleston Cup tough. DD had some great moments and some not so great moments. She Vaulted great, 9.3 11th place. Good on floor but coach changed her routine and she got to that part and just stood there because she forgot the new part. Got a 9.075. Not too bad. Then came bars, she...

    Beam mount for L7?

    My DD cant decide on a mount for her beam routine and does a little "side saddle" hop up but wants something different. She is small and strong but needs a spring board for that one even. Any ideas about what some really neat beam mounts would be to give her some more to chose from and work...

    My 5 y/o girl is just loving gymnastics - she started this winter with a club. She is doing gymnastics all around the house. My husband just made her a beam (carpeted it) and now she wants to do cartwheels on it. She has been practicing on a line of tape on the floor. About 50-75% of the...

    NEED to get that silly beam cartwheel!

    DD's meet season will be over next weekend if she can't get her cartwheel this week. They have a meet in 3 weeks that she can only go in if she moves up to L5 (which is all she has wanted all season) and she has all the skills except that stupid cartwheel. She would love to at least be able...

    Parents She ate the beam and some mats for lunch.

    Parents DD got her cartwheel on the low beam!

    A small accomplishment really, but I was excited. They have been doing them spotted for awhile now, but she tried one on her own and actually did it. I was really surprised even if it wasn't too pretty. It's amazing how she seems to make no progress and then all of the sudden things just...

    beam size

    Is there a difference in scoring if the gymnast uses the higher beam? They usually have 2 during the competition and my daughter who loves the beam also chooses the higher one but I notice that most girls choose the lower one. I asked her why but she says it's more of a challenge.

    L7 Beam Time Limit

    Hi all! We have been struggling with OT on beam routine since DD changed her beam dance. What is the max time limit for USAG beam? Also, if she is halfway through her dismount (in the air on her front tuck) when the time bell rings, is that still a deduction for OT?

    Beam Dismount + Broken Foot + Not Healing Right=Done with gym and a bright red cast!

    Gah! Sorry for not being on here in a bit. I've been busy with home-schooling and all that jazz. So, I'm done with gymnastics again. I was going to stop in March. I broke my foot flipping a beam dismount. Just a simple cartwheel, back-tuck! Why couldn't it have been a triple-duple-front-pike...
