walkover

I have a super happy girl here today and just had to share her exciting news ;) Rylee decided (today) that she would like to learn how to do a back walkover. After 3 'spots' she did it by herself (and she was yelling, "I DID IT!! I GOT IT!!!"... haha... love it when that happens)...

I can kick over from a bridge if I do it with my feet up on a mat, but if I try to do it from the floor, from the same level my hands are at...well, it just doesn't happen. I don't know if I don't have the strength or what, but I simply can't kick over. Help?

I've had my back walkover on beam for 2 years now and I usually always land it except lately as soon as my hands hit the beam I already know I'm not going to land it because I'm not even in close to being in line with the beam anymore... what am I doing wrong ?

What is the advantage of training a back walkover starting with one leg up?

After some of the posts today about fast tracking kids, I wanted to tell everyone that gymnasts really do get true joy out of the simple accomplishments and for me that is worth it. My 5 year old dd got her cartwheel on the beam and she was so proud of herself she just kept doing it. Yeah!

When I am doing my back walkover on the beam, I feel as if it is going too quickly and I cannot get my hands on the beam in time...can anybody help me slow down my back walkover so I have time to find the beam? thanks!!

Hi everyone im hoping you can help me...i am training level 6 and i really really REALLY want to get my back walkover on beam. only problem is that when I try them on the low beam with panel mats, my hands never make it on the beam, i don't know why but i'm actually AFRAID to put my hands...

I have had my front walkover for a really long time but I would always land in a squat. I was always using my left foot to start, so I tried using my right. I got it perfectly :), but I'm wondering if it will mess other skills up for me in the long run. Does anyone have advice? Thanks!

Hi, at the moment I am learning front walkovers on the beam, I really want to learn back walkovers too though. I used to be able to do back walkover on the high beam but then they started to get really dangerous, I was twisting as I was going back and had to bail out of every one. And the...

Today one of our coaches forced me to do a back walkover straight onto the high beam, with no padding on the beam, and barely any help :( after about 3 minutes of me saying 'I can't do it' and the coaches telling me to do it, I did it and landed it. But how can I get over my fear?

I didn't want to brag thursday because I actually missed it. Of course.... I leave that night instead of watch and she gets it. However, lots of moms and her team mates were like yes she got it... I saw it. Turns out she did over 183 of them at practice. WEll I had scheduled a private after...

What is the best way to stretch for a walkover? (Besides the bridge stretch I mean) because I already know that one, and I can not do it all the time, as my wrists are tempermental right now... So is there another way that is effective? I really need this.

Emily did it... 2 nights ago she finally actually started going backwards on the high beam by herself. I am so proud of her. She is still very apprehensive about the skill so the form needs some work but that will come as her confidence improves... 4 practices till first level 6 meet and I...

Ok, so I just started working my front walkover on beam on wednesday. I got it on thursday. But right now I can only do it on the medium hieght beam. (abt. 2 ft, maybe higher off the ground) I have this fear issue with beam, and even if I have a skill perfect on lower beams, it takes me sooooo...

Tonight's Practice was awesome.... Emily started on Bars tonight and was doing flyaway drills on the pit bar and then Emily did a flyaway into the pit landing on a mat instead of the blue pit foam. First time, I didn't think she would let go but she did just a bit late so she landed touching...

Okay, I've been training back walkovers on beam a lot lately for long periods, and even though I warm up beforehand my back is just always sore these days. If I go a week or two without doing any it goes away but it always comes back. It's my lower back. Is there anything I can do to stop it...

I was wondering, for level 7 beam, what is a front walkover worth? An A, B, C? I know how to do one, but I was wondering if I would get credit for doing it or if I would just be wasting my time. -GCG
