I just posted this on the skills forum but thought I'd share it here, too. I was in such awe of this girl I wanted to brag for her! :D

I was at my dd's Level 5 practice this morning. There were some Level 7/8 girls there practicing also. They were all supposed to do up to 10 straddle press handstands on the beam, or as many as they could do. I watched this girl, and this is no lie, do 31 of them in a row, with very little break in between. And, to top it off, her form was absolutely impeccable. I could not believe my eyes.:eek: They said the gym record was 25. She blew that one away. The funny this is she could've kept going but the coach told her to stop!!

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
