My coach was telling me that learning an onodi on beam this year would be great. (An onodi is basically an arabian backhandspring/front walkover)

I know the skill is valued at an E, but I can do several D skills on the event (Switch side, tuck full, and a D level Pak Salto on bars).

I have only done the skill on the floor so far, but it seemed relativley easy for me. Does anyone have any experience doing this on the beam? Do you think I could learn it in a few months?

Thanks:)
 
My DD would like to learn one on floor, but it's not like the top on the list of the skills they are focusing on in her L6 class ;) - she loves watching them on beam and wants to be able to do one some day (she has a flexible back and legs and is really great at beam front walkovers already, so it does seem like someday she may be able to do one if she stays w/ gymnastics). If her coach won't teach her one, maybe she'll ask them at camp if they can help her work on it for fun...again, this is just floor version ;), she'd be years away from even *thinking* about one on beam! Good luck...I'm just a parent, but I'd think trying it on a low beam w/ two panel mats on either side would be the first step...kinda like the same method for learning a backhandspring...
