I work in a gym that doesn't have a sprung floor and was just wondering if the techniques for achieving a skill remain the same whether using a sprung or non sprung floor.
I'm thinking that techniques to achieve good take offs and arm repulstions etc. should be the same whether the floor is...
Alright, I'm going to be 16 this year and probably level 7. I need some suggestions for floor music. I love the idea of doing Baba O'riley- by the Who, but I'm not sure if it will fit. I'm more of a power gymnast than a flexible dancer, which narrows my choices a bit.
Sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the answers and patience with me.
If my dd is blocking on the connection from RO to flip flop and pauses in between, what is the deduction she will have to take on floor?
Ok tonight was the night DD got her new L7 floor routine done. It just SOOOO fits her. Feel free to take a peek at my Youtube link below. It's so dramatic.
Just remember This is only the 2nd time I've done video so forgive the shaking LOL.
And the big tumbling isn't in it yet just the...
Do most optional gymnast change their music and floor choreograph every year even if they are repeating level 7 or 8. Is it common to carry the same song and choreograph into the next season. Just wondering how that works.
i just got my cd of the new level 1-6 floor music and im not sure if its just as annoying or slightly more annoying than the old floor music - something to look forward to next meet season!! :)
How is music decided at your gym? At this new gym my daughter was able to choose what she wanted (within reason) as long as the coaches ok'd it and believed it would be a good fit for her to showcase her best skills. At our former gym we had no input at all and my DD always hated her music...
Well as many who post here know my DD moved to level 7 after the states in March. Her and her teammates are picking floor music as well as practicing the new skills for level 7.
DD has chosen Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter and it sooooo fits her and she loves it. I can hardly wait for...

Ok so I need to know how long floor music needs to be for Level 8 my cousin is working on cutting some for my DD to use next year. he wants to work on a few cuts for her but we are unsure how long forgot to ask coach.
Thanks
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the floor tumbling requirements or "acro flight series" as worded on the MDL Divisions website. For Level A, it clearly states "front handspring, roundoff back handspring..." and for Level B it states "...2 elements acro flight series with one forward...
i am learning how to do a back layout full on floor. i am a level 6 though.
i am doing them off the tumble trak for now, but even there they look TERRIBLE!!
my legs are like frog legs and my arms look like sailing rubber bands (haha).
my form is really bad, yet i am getting the twist 3/4 of the...
Can someone explain the Level 8 floor tumbling passes. I read the requirements and get confused about the saltos. Do you need forward saltos. My daughter does all back saltos and I see many Level 8 include forward saltos. My dd passes are:
RO - BHS - Back Layout (Full 1/1)
RO - BHS - Whip -...
My little Madi 6 year old level 3 pulled off the highest floor score of the day with a 9.75.
I couldn't believe it. It was her last meet of the season so a great way to finish up her level 3 season.
She also got a wonderful 9.45 on beam... 9.0 on bars and an 8.4 on that blasted vault.
I...
Someone mentioned to me today at a meet that I might be getting deducted for not fulfilling floor tumbling requirements at level nine, so I wanted to ask around here.
Due to a bum shoulder, my passes are currently:
Round off Full
Round off back tuck punch front
running front full
I know...
My DD will get to choose new music in a few weeks (she uses her music for 2 years). The last couple of years she has used pop and hip-hop type music. The first was a Mary Poppins tune and currently she uses a Fort Minor cut. We have started considering music and no surprise, she like the top 40...
