    T&T round off handspring tuck

    Hello, I am a 17-year-old boy. I dance and am doing a proud off handspring tuck in my show. I did gymnastics when I was young and cheer more recently. I used to be able to do this, but I always had trouble with undercutting my springs and looking back on tucks. Any help would be appreciated. Video

    WAG Roundoff handspring tuck

    So, ive been working on my roundoff handspring tuck, and whenever I go for the tuck after the handspring, I just end up doing a really high back handspring. I do drills 4 days a week at my gym and I have it on a trampoline. Any tips?

    T&T Round off connecting to BHS

    trying to think of some new ideas or drills to help 7year old connect her round off to BHS. she can’t figure out she needs a rebound and just squats going into her BHS. Advice? She can do the skills independently but can’t work out the connection, I’m out of ideas.

    WAG Round off handspring tuck

    Hi everyone. I can do a round off backhand spring back tuck, but I always have an archy one. I know it’s because I am afraid that I won’t make it over... although when I do a round of handspring set it is high enough. I am pretty tall for a gymnast though. Also, I am floppy. I try to tighten...

    WAG Roundoff Back Handspring Back Tuck Mental Block?

    So, I got my roundoff back handspring back tuck at the end of October 2019. I did really amazing ones throughout November. I was very confident with them, had tons of height and power, and they were amazing. At my inter-squad meet in November the pass was perfect! I continued doing them...

    Round off

    Here a video of my round off and of some drills I have been doing, any suggestions on how to improve would be very welcome! I have heard that one should get the legs together when hitting the handstand, which clearly I am not doing, however I have also read that in order to do so one would...

    WAG Roundoff Problems

    Later this month I will be competing level 8. My tumbling pass is a roundoff back handspring back tuck. My back handspring and back tuck are pretty much perfect, however my roundoff is causing me problems. Everything is fine from a step or power hurdle, but when I run into it it's not only...

    WAG 5 year old round off back handsprings-average age??

    My five year (almost 6 years) old got her round off back handspring. Is this advanced for her age or is this more of the average age that kids get this skill? Thanks!

    WAG I can’t set in my round off back tuck!

    I have been trying to do a round off back tuck for years but it’s always the same problem. I have trouble tucking and setting and I really need tips. I don’t have access to a trampoline

    Roundoff on High Beam

    I have a competition in 5 practices and I just got my roundoff on high beam (its still kinda bad). I feel slightly pressured (not sure by whom) to compete a cartwheel roundoff series at the meet but I am still afraid of the roundoff alone on high beam. Any advice?

    WAG Is there a wrong way to learn a round off?

    My daughter has a new coach now and I notice the way she is telling her to jump into the round off is different, along with other random differences in technique with some of the other skills. Im zeroing in on the round off because it was so obvious to me but is this just like a personal...

    WAG Flight skills on beam other than round-off or back handspring?

    So one of my requirements this year is a flight skill for beam. My round-offs are okay, but since I can't use it as part of my dismount, I tend to fall backward slightly. And for back handsprings, I would prefer not to do them. I can technically do them, but they are scary and so I've been...

    WAG Pausing between RO and BHS (Adult Gymnast)

    Some background: I'm a 30 year old adult trying gymnastics (I never did it as a kid) I've been taking 1-2 days a week classes for almost three years. I'm taking it nice and slow cause these old bones and joints can't handle too much. I really want to get my ROBHS, but I always round-off pause...

    WAG Help me teach these kids a hurdle roundoff!!!

    After the local gymnastics gym where I coached rec shut down, I decided to start a small program out of a school gymnasium, primarily focusing on rec gymnastics and solid foundations. I have ended up with a small group of rather exceptional kiddos age 7-9, who I plan on competing a strong girls'...
