Women beam series level 8

[itsbellala]

ok so im a training level eight gymnast who is really struggling on beam acro. i dont really tumble backwards(except for standing tucks). i cant do much on beam because of my inability to tumble backward but then i was wondering if i could do an aerial because im really good at those. i asked my coaches and they wouldnt look it up in COP so i dont really know. if yall could give me acro series ideas or know if i could do an aerial that would be great. thanks!

You would need to connect something to your aerial. I actually loved front tumbling on beam so I love a good front walkover front handspring but there's a reason you don't see that top often. Front walkover aerial could work though I believe.

You could also to front handspring round off, front walkover roundoff, cartwheel round off.

I believe aerials are D skills and you can only compete 1 C skill in Level 8? So I don't think you can do aerials until L9.
