    Back layout with a full twist or more

    My dd is relearning her back full (to ultimately do more than a full, hopefully this coming season). Our new gym uses a different technique for twisting compared to our old gym. This seems like a big pain in the neck but must be a big deal since they are willing to start over. Old gym had dd...

    Coaches Vault- Front handsprings that twist

    I'm just really curious about something after watching some kids do their front handspring full vault. I guess it also applies to 1/2 on 1/2 off, 1/2 on 1/1 off and so on. Is this actually a useful progression? I originally thought it would be good for twisting the front handspring front but...

    Accidental Twist

    My daughter has had trouble with her fulls. She twists too early and gets lost in the air (arabians are easier for her) So, her coach has put fulls in the back burner for now. Her coach tells me she has more than enough B skills to meet the Level 8 requirements. In any event, her problem now...

    When to twist during a layout

    Hey guys!! So I have a pretty annoying issue right now. I need a double full by june in order to try out for a cheerleading team. I can do a r/o hand full right now, and they're actually pretty easy and I don't find twisting particularly difficult. I've always been able to make the entire...

    Homemade twist belt

    Hello, Does anyone here know the technical name of the bearing used in twist spotting belts? I want to make one for my own personal use, but after a week of researching the device on the internet, I still haven't learned the name of the bearing. Thank you

    Hello. So, I have been working on Full Twists for about 6 months. I have 3 months until we determine what level we will be Competition wise, and if I get my full, I will be aloud to compete/train as an advanced/elite athlete. It is frustrating.

    How would I twist this thing, another confused soul about twist direction.

    I have a question maybe Dunno will know this. I do T&T and we do a move called a half in half out, it is a back half into a front tuck with a barani out. I was told the twist has to go the same direction so if my is the way it is would it be the same direction? I know you don't twist with your...

    Twist issues...!

    After 8 gymnastics lessons, I am now learning full twisting fronts (off trampoline onto mat at same level). I can do a half twist just fine, but as soon as I try a full I end up doing a barani half-out... It's because, as I try to complete the last half, I kinda go sideways back the same way...

    back handspring with a half twist

    My dd would like to know if anyone has a video or can give us a link to a video of someone doing a back handspring twisting half before landing on your hands and then basically doing a front walkover out of it. i think i have seen girls do it on the balance beam before.

    My DD Grips slip or twist, what causes that?

    Trying to figure out why or what to do, my daughter is constantly adjusting her grips mid stream through her practice routines. What causes that or what can fix it? Appreciate all thoughts, and or if she needs new ones what do you reccommend she is going into level 7.

    Which way do you twist/roundoff?

    OK, I think I'm weird. I roundoff to the right, but I twist to the left (which is the same direction I guess). I was just wondering how the rest of you twist/tumble.

    Need some idea on how to twist

    Going backwards, there's actually a lot of leeway in where the full can start; as long as your feet leave the floor before you initiate the twist, you're fine. Once you get the hang of it, it's actually much easier and less scary than a half, because you can see the ground the whole time...

    Butterfly With A Double Twist On YouTube

    My passion, as many realize by now, is to see new skills performed in gymnastics. The sample page from my book Flip Outside The Box illustrates such a skill. For anyone who thinks it looks too difficult, watch this YouTube video I recently found of a male gymnast performing it. I must say that...

    Full Twist

    I recently sprained my thumb/wrist on a pbars accident. So I have no grip. Instead of working other apparatuses I've been doing a lot of tumbling. Currently I'm trying to learn my full twist. I can do a layout with a half twist(late, not a barani). Tonight I got my full. Then I started...
