    Two straddle press handstands

    My daughter has been able to do one straddle press handstand for over a year now. They do not do these at gymnastics. She saw it on youtube and taught herself. She does one everyday. But, that's all she can do is one. She has been trying to do 2 in a row for some time now but just can't do...

    straddler lever press to handstand

    My 6 y/o is a bit obsessed with practising this skill at home. It does get some regular work in class too. Her technique is a bit off. Her initial lift from lever seems good and there's a moment where she's 'butt up feet down' which seems right. But then as she brings her feet up she seems to...

    thumb position in cast handstand

    My dd just switched gyms. She learned to do a cast handstand with her thumb wrapped around the bar on the opposite side from her fingers. Her new coach wants her thumb next to her fingers, and dd is afraid she's going to fall. Is keeping your thumb next to your fingers the prefered way?
