    Fear?

    I'm in my early 30s and was a (non-competitive) gymnast until I was about 16 or so. I've been wanting to get back into it, specifically trampolining, for years now but always figured I'd be too old. I just signed up for a trampoline class at a local circus school and I'm stoked! I'm also going...

    Front tuck fear??

    I read a lot on here about back tumbling fear but not as much on front tumbling fear. My dd level 5 is working on her level 6 skills and is great at back tumbling but is scared to even try her front tuck. She has had her front handspring and recently "got" her back tuck. I am just wondering if...

    Overcoming fear of giants and flyaways?

    I was speaking to dd's coach tonight and she was raving about dd's bars... up to the point of actually going over on giants and doing the flyaway. And this is after doing it once with a spot on the strap bar. So her coach was working with her on swings, and she said to dd, "when your form and...

    Can BWO on beam fear be "non vestibular"

    I guess Dunno, being the vestibular expert, can probably answer this, but anyone else feel free to chime in. My daughter is all of a sudden afraid of the bwo on high beam. What is odd is that she is not afraid of backhandsprings on high beam (step-out or two foot). So it doesn't seem like a...

    Fear of swinging down from Handstand on bars

    Hi everyone - need some words of wisdom for my dd. She has been working on giants on bars for some time now. She is scared to swing down from her cast handstand. If she just does a high cast, not handstand, she said it is less scary. She can flyaway from a handstand. Any thoughts... Thanks...
