My daughter is looking for something like what you would hear on a top 40 music station. It sounds like her teammate is going with the music she wanted. I have tried searching iTunes for instrumentals, but I know there are better options out there. I read somewhere there is a music thread. If...
What do you think about Simone Biles's new routine?
Personally I think her old one was much more fun and entertaining. I do like how she kept some of her signature dance moves though.
For a gymnast who is set on Jordyn Wieber's music (Wild Dances) but whose coach thinks it is too popular, what are some suggestions that she might like? Thanks!
DD is already looking for music for next fall for L8. She is retiring her old music and routine she has had the last 2 years after states next month. She would like something slower than she has now and classical, like the 300 violin type, but not as common. Any favorites?
I feel pretty silly not knowing this, but is there a deduction for my coach standing there (but clearly not touching me) on my ROBT on floor? (Xcel platinum). Also, my coach stands in between the bars for my whole routine, that isn't a deduction anymore is it?
It's my first season coaching an optional group and I want to quickly clarify something.
The special requirement asks for a Layout on Floor. Is my gymnast allowed to compete a Full and cover that requirement or no?
Thanks for your time!
I have no experience with the main stream side of competitive gymnastics. My daughter was given floor music for a small competition last year, it is balletic style (slow and floaty) and doesnt suit her at all (more of a fast paced music kind of girl). This music was given to her and another...
Hi All!
My L8 daughter is 2 months in after being released to return after L4 bilateral pars fracture (a year of brace, re-brace and throw in heart surgery!). Boy, what she has endured and persevered through! She is amazing to me! My question is.... she has to attempt to avoid...
Is a switch leap a B skill only if it hits 180? What are other commonly performed B skills for L7 floor? And why is it so hard to just find lists of A/B/C/... skills online?
A mom I know whose DD goes to another gym had a discussion with another mom from her team during this weekends meet. The other mom complained to my friend that her daughter should have done a full in her tumbling series since she is capable of doing them. I saw a lot of level 7 fulls in...
Are press handstands allowed in a floor routine? Well, I guess they are allowed, but do judges like to see them?
Combo I am thinking about: Back Extension Roll to Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Tuck Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Straddle Press Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Pike...
DD just turned 9, and is getting choreography in a week or two. She's not a cutesy gymnast at all, is very serious during her routines, but can't dance to save her life. Coach wants something "In between cute and serious, with strong beats". She'll do 3 tumbling passes, and as little dance as...
I have my front tuck off beam (pretty much) but I always fall on floor. It's very frustrating especially becuase pretty much all my teammate have gotten it. advise???
Hello, so a few teammates of mine and me are in love with Aly's new floor music, and we all want it but we can't all take the same one, so i was looking for other songs in the same style but couldn't really find any, does anybody know songs that are more like this one?
Thanks!
