    Women Ending pose for level 4 floor routine

    I was wondering if there is a deduction for moving your front foot in the ending pose of the USAG level 4 floor routine. I thought I read somewhere that you can't move your front foot. I might be wrong, though. My coaches picked my ending pose:( and it requires me to slide my front foot back to...

    Men question about points for floor exercise?

    Hi, my region 5 L4 gymnast forgot something in his floor exercise at his last meet.....it was the little "jump" that comes just before the round-off back handspring. I was wondering if anyone knows how many points deduction that is? His score was still really high and some of the parents were...

    Women Curious about floor and beam shoes?

    Hi everyone, so this is just an idle question that I'd love to get an answer to. What exactly is the purpose of the different floor and beam shoes/slippers that I've seen some gymnasts wearing? Sarah Finnegan wears little half-shoes, while Ellie Black has full ones, and I even saw a Chinese...

    Women It's that time of year again (for me)- picking floor music!

    Men Fun floor night!!! (BRAG :))

    D came home from practice all excited! Apparently he got his Front-handspring-bounder-front tuck.. (he says it is a level 7 pass? I have no idea!) And he managed his front pike on floor. He is pumped!!!

    Optional gymnasts - Teammates doing parts of your dance with you in floor routines?

    In my teammate's floor routine she has one arm up by her head and one straight out in front of her and her legs are sort of in a lunge but all of her weight is on her back foot and she twists her hands twice and on the second time she bends her back knee (sorry for the complicated explanation...

    Women Floor Music Help!

    I have been looking for floor music lately, and can't seem to find one that I really like. I was hoping you guys could help me. I want dark, powerful floor music. I am NOT a dancy person, but I'm an excellent tumbler so my music should be based on that. So... any ideas?

    Coaches Floor music format

    What format do you use to burn the cds with floor musics for competitions? As a coach, my biggest fear is to have to tell my gymnasts they have to perform their routine without any music lol! I want to be sure every radio/sound system will play my cds...

    Women Yey - New Floor Routine!

    Not really a brag at all, but nothing else on this silly pre-fix list fits... Daughter got back from gym about an hour ago and she was bursting with excitement, because she's finally getting her own floor routine. When she joined the club in April she'd only competed a couple of basic routines...

I have a few "Finalists" and i was wondering if I could get...

    Women Xcel Gold Floor Tumbling Requirements

    I'm in Xcel Gold and I was looking at the requirements for our floor routines. Our coach told us that it would be fine to have our first tumbling pass as a robhs and the second a front hs. The requirement says "1. 1 acro connection min two flight elements." Wouldn't that mean robhsbhs or robhs...

    Women Question about difference in 2 floor routines. (Video links included)

    I have a curious (non-obsessive) question about these 2 floor routines. There was nearly a full point difference in the 2, and I just don't see the differences-however, I am not a judge, nor very good at spotting the intricacies involved. But I am curious...:p She is a level 5 age 9 if that...

    Women Bare Necessites floor music?

    Okay, so a while back I heard about a girl who had the Bare Necessites as her floor music. I've been wanting to watch it but I completely forgot who it was. I am pretty sure she was a junior elite, that's about all I remember. If anyone knows who it is, that would be great!

    Parents Looking for floor routine pose ideas!

    L4 DD is allowed to pick her own ending pose, now that she's got her ROBH on the floor. Some of the girls are coming up with some really cute ideas, like blowing kisses, thumbs up, etc. DD isn't so creative, so we're looking for some suggestions! She just turned 7 and is still considered one...

    Women How long does a floor routine need to be
