    Women front toss pike on beam value? and question about judging it

    Is the value different than a regular front toss and how exactly do the judges tell the difference between the two - as in what are they looking for to distinguish the pike/tuck? We have watched some videos and the tucks and pikes all look the same.

    Women Another L8/9 beam question

    hey y’all! So with a kid who does BHS BHS series, would a BHS BLO be acceptable for a dismount? Or is that considered a third BHS? what would be a good option for someone who refuses the RO Exits? Is there a requirement to have a jump that changes direction? Or is that L9? For level 9 is the...

    Women Level 8 beam question...

    So, my youngest daughter, 8 years old, just competed level 7. On beam, her series and dismount was BHS BHS BLO. I know that in level 7 you can't to 3 of the same skill...(right!?) and I think the plan for level 8 is to do BHS BLO step out and BHS BHS BLO as dismount. I know her coaches can't be...

    Parents beam routine

    Just curious, not for me, for a friend. I think there is a requirement for a beam routine to have some sideways dance in it? What would be the penalty for not including this in the routine? I think it's under the FIG rules (we are not in the US). Can any judges out there help with this...

    Women Bruised foot from BT on beam

    DD is suffering from a very bruised foot from doing standing back tucks on beam. It is preventing her from getting in her reps/routines before Easterns. It is the the inside of the back foot when she lands. Is there anything she can do to help this or is this another one of those things that...

    Women When the gymnast can't stay on the beam...

    I have this one gymnasts who has literally not stayed on the beam even ONCE at a competition in FOUR YEARS! I know this sounds absurd, but it's true. She can stay on the beam at practice, but not when competing. Today we had once again a competition and she did fabulous job on every other...

    Women Turn series on beam

    hello everybody! My DD has been playing around with some turn series.....she was confused on the direction of the second turn.....so she begins with the good leg full turn, and then steps immediately into the bad leg turn, which naturally feels like she should turn in the opposite direction. Is...

    Women L7 beam series

    All the posts about stress fractures in girls' backs, confirm my desire to keep my daughter from doing back walkovers on the beam. As she moves to level 7 and needs a series, what are options that don't include a back walkover? She's currently competing back handspring at level 5.

    Women Platinum Beam

    I with support from my coaches have change my series of cartwheel BWO to BHS. We just had our second meet and upon receiving a low score my coach was told I'm missing an A element.

    Women L8 beam question

    What is the penalty for not having a side element in your beam routine? Yesterday dd did double BHS, her turns & leaps, and then a front pike dismount off the end of the beam. She used to do a roundoff BHS or BLO dismount. Her score seemed low for the performance and then I realized she didn’t...

    Women Beam BWO harder than BHS?

    Can anyone explain to me why a BWO on beam is harder than a BHS on beam? My D says that this is just a fact and she doesn’t understand why it doesn’t make sense to me. To me, a BHS seems harder because they’re completely leaving the beam. Is the relative difficulty something that varies from...

    Women L5 beam - fall and scoring question

    Asking for a friend, since she is not on here and I am not sure. If a kid falls off beam on the BWO without touching any part of a foot to the beam, and then gets back on the beam and resumes the routine with whatever comes after the BWO, does the kid get a deduction for the fall plus a...

    Bars & Beam

    I need a bit of advice for a few skills... First is my kip. It’s pretty consistent but I always seem to bend my arms a little and slightly hunch over the bar. How can I fix this? Second is my back walkover on beam. This is sort of a 50/50 skill for me. It’s either perfect or I don’t make it at...
