    Moonwalking on the beam? !!!

    I was watching a college gymnastics meet sometime during last season on TV with Georgia going against someone else, but I can't remember which team it was. Anyway, one of the gymnasts did this moonwalking as part of her beam routine, like Michael Jackson used to do in the old days. It was...

    Parents Need the beam fairy!!

    Was talking with gymmie last night and she said practices were going well---getting those L8 skills and the hc casually spoke with her and said he was impressed, but needed to see her get more aggressive and start nailing beam. I'm sure old fears have resurfaced(from old gym)because she said she...

    holding sticks on beam?

    Just a silly question-- was at the preschooler's gym class and noticed a class of the older girls on beam holding 2ft sticks above their heads with their hands twisted around backward. How come they were doing this? My best guess was that they were learning to balance without airplane or...

    Cartwheel on the beam...aaaah!

    My daughter has been practicing her cartwheel on the beam for who knows how long and she CAN'T get it. She started off with a stripe on the floor etc. but as soon as she gets even on the bean that's on the floor, her foot lands on the left side. I figure, it's typical. She has a low bean at home...

    Parents Finally some beam progress

    My dd has had a serious mental block with her bhs on beam. She will do a ro back tuck on the beam - but was afraid to jump backwards onto her hands. She will do bwo bwo though - it was just the jumping thing. It goes back two years ago when at a meet a girl was doing a bhs bhs and on the 2nd...

    Coaches chalk on beam... yes or no?

    Ok, i'm a new team coach at a small gym... the owner totally opposes using chalk on the beams because he says it ruins them. He's had the same 4 beams for like over 20 years... and he's had high levels train on them before back in the 80's early 90's. BUT, the highest level at the gym now are...

    Parents dd's roll on beam without hands video

    I quickly made a little film of her doing a few rolls and summersaults on vault just now. So I will see if I can remember how to put it right in this post. It is a shame I didn't get her cartwheel this time, but she can do that on beam too. She started learning that last Summer, when we trained...

    Coaches Hand & Foot Placement on Beam for Backsprings & Cartwheels/Roundoffs

    My opinion of the hand placement on beam. Backsprings...hands should be placed one behind the other but am not sure if the feet should correspond with hands or be opposite or together. Cartwheels/Roundoffs...hands should be in a "T" position. Any opinions on this from coaches is...

    Coaches Front saults on beam

    I've been training front saults for beam, and they're now ready to go. My big problem is that the landing absolutely KILLS my feet, it stings so much. My first day of them I did 4 from 4 to feet; it felt like my feet were bruised and I was in pain and unable to tumble or jump well for a...

    Parents Emily was working on and has the level 6 beam dismount now:)

    Our new gym is working the new skills and I am thinking for the 2 sec hold for the level 5 handstand, they were having the girls work on the level 6 beam dismount. Our old gym would never have a single level 5 work this skill until they were level 6s so I was shocked. I was really shocked that...

    Beam Mounts

    Last year I did the level 6 USAG mount for my beam routine. This year, I'd really like something more interesting and unique. Probably a lot more challenging, too :). Anyways, I'd just like to know if anyone's got some ideas.

    USAG level 2 beam routine

    I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a list of exactly what's required for the level 2 beam routine. There is one part where my daughter kind of hesitates (it's really awkward) and she acts like she's not sure what to do next---I'll try to explain: After the forward roll, she does...
