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.

you can do aerials at least in aus. going off aus you need a single flight acro and a connected acro series. which could be aerial and then cartwheel roundoff if your dismount doesnt have either. aerial round off or carthweel also works. also like other comments front walkover front handspring
