    I've been a gymnast for over 35 years and I'm thinking of retiring. In the past two years I've had rotator surgery and a torn achilles. Sooo... I'm thinking about slowing down a bit and always told myself when I retire I'm going to get a tattoo on my forearm of a tumbling pass. "Back in the...

Also, my other new line is round off whip...

    Good news/bad news - Em is tumbling again/Caileigh broke her ankle!

    Well it is good news/bad news in our house these days. Em did her first RO BHS's on the tumble track tonight, 8 months after rupturing her ACL and generally trashing her knee. It's been a really long and painful journey to get from there to here, but Em has proven herself to be far tougher...

    Tumbling on hard floor

    Hi I'm a cheerleader and I want to impress the crowd by tumbling during football games, but I'm scared of throwing handsprings on hard floor, even though it's pretty much the same thing as doing it on a regular floor. Does anyone have any suggestions how to throw them on hard floor without...

    What are the standard tumbling passes for each level?

    Hi, I'm a level four gymnast looking to get into a higher level. What are the passes for each level? Someone told me that the front tumbling pass for level 7 is a front handspring stepout to a front handspring, feet together. Can you give me all the passes, front and back?

    Number of tumbling passes for level 9 and 10 girls

    I've noticed that every level 9 or 10 women's floor routine seems to have 3 tumbling passes. However, unless I missed something, I haven't found anywhere in the rules where the number of tumbling passes required is specified. Are there any clarifications/interpretations/rules I might have...

    Finally - Back tumbling (Luck required!)

    Tonight I am finally going to ease my way into backwards tumbling. I always had a huge fear about it when I was a competetive gymnast (low levels.... very low) and I have decided that today is the day. I shall begin with a back tuck from the trampoline onto one of those REALLY soft mats and go...

    level 8 tumbling

    Are three tumbling passes needed in a L8 and/or L9 floor routine? I believe there needs to be three saltos with two being in the same pass. So can all requirements be met in two passes. My daughter is having some trouble with endurance.

    Coaches Latest Gymnastics Minute (Re: Front tumbling arm position)

    vKoarxdJ7zA I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts on this. It runs counter to what I (and most coaches I know) regard as proper technique, yet it sort of makes sense the way Watanabe explains it. I wouldn't say I'm completely sold on this approach yet, but I'm probably going to have some of my...

    T&T Tramp and Tumbling

    Sometimes during our artistic gymnastics classes our coach gets us on the trampoline. My coach told that I have some really nice skills on trampoline and that I should I try it. I do have to pay for it with my own money if I try it, so would it be worth trying out a session of tramp and tumbling...
