turns

Ok I am at a loss on this skill. I can do the turn and all but i always over rotate and can't seem to control it. Any tips?

Help!!I have always had trouble with my turns on beam but now my coach is concentrating alot more on them :( She says I "hook":confused: my foot and I dont turn all the way before stepping out.But my feet just get stuck when I turn and I dont know how to fix this or the hooking problem...

This might be a silly question but bear with me :rolleyes: lol I find that when doing spins/turns/pirouettes on floor, my foot gets "stuck" and stops spinning after about a 1/2 turn. My toes get caught and it just stops the rotation completely. I can do double turns easily on other surfaces...

How much of a deduction is a double turn with falling out and either going over the double turn or under? thanks!

My DD competed last season as a 11 yr old Level 8, her bar routine had the basic 2 backward giants into dismount which seemed very strong. During the off season we were expecting to see a progression into maybe a blind change into front giant, or maybe a 1/2 pirouette on HB, etc. However, she...

I need some tricks to help stick my full turns on beam. I always try to stick it but i seem to lose my balance every time. Any tricks to staying on?

So I have noticed a problem with my turns on beam. Its not so much a balance issue, its a feet sticking to the beam issue, making it really hard to actually turn. Aside from the shoes, any other ways to alleviate this problem? Or should I just suck it up and tear up the bottom of my feet...

Does anyone else here LOVE turns on beam?? I looovvee them!! :D Right now the hardest turn I have is a double and I also have a straight legged 1 and a half. I did a regular 1 and a half turn in Level 7 and was the only one on my team doing one! I've also done a 2 and a half, but I think I tried...

Hi there. My daughter has just moved to a different gym-she started at a good private club and then we moved and she attended a Y-now she is at a private club near our new home. She is training as a level 6-and had great level 4 and 5 seasons, especially on beam. Her 2 previous gyms taught...

my level 2's cant grasp the concept of a passe half turn i dont know what i can do to get them to pull up and spill fast while still holding the correct shape if anyone has drills it would a great help thanks jes

I don't know about you, but I know a lot of people who have or have had trouble w/sticking full turns on beam. It's an embarassing skill to fall on, yet hard to master. Last summer, when I found out I was moving to level six, my parents bought me a four-foot low beam. I did full turns on it...
