It's been a while since I have posted new vids of DD, her routines are constantly being tweeked, so I will post them if there any changes. Thanks for letting us share. :)

My DD cant decide on a mount for her beam routine and does a little "side saddle" hop up but wants something different. She is small and strong but needs a spring board for that one even.
Any ideas about what some really neat beam mounts would be to give her some more to chose from and work...
Hi All,
Back from Va, the Rock Star Invitational Meet. Bailey did really well, in the eyes of her mother anyway. Scoring was really tough with many lower than at most meets we attend. We thought they were not going to place but boy were we surprised. I guess they were low across the board...
Hi, everyone! I'm working on a bar routing for a Level 7 gymnast, but it seems like something's missing on the high bar. Can anyone tell me if this routine fulfills all the requirements and what the start value is? Also, does the new Code Of Points have the values of each skill listed in it...
Hi all! We have been struggling with OT on beam routine since DD changed her beam dance. What is the max time limit for USAG beam? Also, if she is halfway through her dismount (in the air on her front tuck) when the time bell rings, is that still a deduction for OT?
So this weekend DD finally did all the skills needed for a decent bar routine. For her that means a lot. The routine needs form clean up work but all elements were there. Or so we thought.
Judges docked her .5 from start value for missing a SR cast above 45 degrees. What?? I read the updated...
Hi there. Is the level 7 vault judged the same as a level 6 or 5? If a gymnast consitently gets 9's as a 6 can she expect to get 9's as a 7 as well?
Thanks.
Hallo! DD has been working her L7 floor routine for awhile, and has hit a snag...she can't seem to score above 9.2 due to lack of 180 degree split in her dance series connection (split leap to jump)...sometimes she gets partial points off, other meets she loses the entire element. She DOES have...
Here are the links for video for the meet last Sunday. The quality is poor, but at least I got them up!

Since I could not edit the videos, I am leaving vault off...there is way to much dead air!
Enjoy!

Ok so here is the good and ok things about the Gopher Invite Meet my DD was in last night. It was our 1st meet this season.
1st rotation bars UGH!! Ok so for those of you who do not know my DD doesn't do her giant yet she has had a mental block for about 1 year. So starting on bars not great...
:)Well we had a great weekend!!! ...:).... she qualified!!!! Had an awesome meet!!! 37.675... a whole point better than her 1st meet. First off was vault with a 9.5..(2nd) next bars which have not been her best lately... 9.2... (2nd) Anyone ever seen a complete set of bars fall??? well that...
DD2 has her first meet tomorrow, all her routines looked great today except for bars:mad:! We are in need of the giant fairy and we are not sure if she will get to compete bars or not, so if you have seen the giant fairy please send her our way and good luck to anyone else competing this...

Can someone please point out the differences between L6 & L7. While L7 is optional, it doesn't look like the routines are 'that' different than the L6 routines. Also, what skills are added in L7? TIA
She had fun and her scores were OK, top thrill of the day...she got to meet, talk to and get a hug from Jonathan Horton....after that I think the meet was the second thing on her mind. lol.
Her scores:
Vault- 9.35- 5th
Bars- 7.70- still those bars but her routine looked better
Beam- 8.7 6th...
Well, we survived our 1st level 7 meet...I didn't actually have the heart attack I felt was coming on;). It was great to hear all the different music! It really seemed to make the meet fly by. But enough small talk here's the scoop! Bars were ok, pretty much as we expected 8.75. No placement for...
It must be the week for first level 7 meets. My dd competes as a 7 for the first time this Sunday evening! She is so excited she can't wait. It's our big home meet, it hasn't always been her best meet, because it is our first meet of the season.
Calling for all good luck wishes and fairies...
DD has her 1st level 7 meet this Sunday & she is all excited & bouncing around:jump:. So nice to see her this happy & not nervous! It's been a rough rough road & she almost didn't move up to 7:((fear issues). She won't be competing her new found giant...not ready yet. So it will be...
