I know what it is. Two of our level eights did them until they got their straddle backs.

Yup. I want to work on straddle backs but I will definitely have to wait to the seasons over! So what tricks do you do?

 

[gracefulone]

On bars? My routine is boring, but no one here really does giants at level seven. I do a clearhip on the lowbar, and the highbar, and a layout flyaway( I can almost do my 1/2 twist too)

In general? Beam: front walkover-fronthandspring, leap-straddle jump
Floor: layout, fronthand-front, switch leap-tuck full, full turn with leg above horizontal.
Vault: for now a front handspring, but I've been starting to train 1/2 ons and 1/2 on half offs.

Cool! Wow. Frontwalkover- fronthandspring! Thats pretty cool! I don't see many people do that! Do you have a really bendy back? Thats the same BAR routine I did in level 7 too...... Now i'm cut catch, kip, freehip, kip, squat on, uprise ,free hip flyaway. I make my giants sometimes but they aren't in my routine.

 

[gracefulone]

My back isn't so bendy as people might think-it's all my shoulders! They're so flexible that they are deceptive. And no, no I've ever seen does front walkoever front handspring. A few do front walkovers, but that's pretty rare and I haven't seen front handsprings at all.

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

Oh thats cool. What is your floor music?

 

[gracefulone]

Tainetd Love. I love it so much. There are a couple of places where my entire team claps in my routine. It's really cool and I've liked the song for a long time. It's one of my dad's favorite songs of all time, too, so he of course never gets sick of hearing the music!

*nudges people back on topic*

 

[gracefulone]

wink wink sly nudge.

So...goals. I have a three-week break from meets, then three weekends in a row, so now's a great time to work.

Bars: tighten up throughout routine, more height coming out of highbar clearhip.
Beam: Go to the next meet without even THINKING about taking a spot on my frontwalkover.
Floor: Land my fronthand front at a meet. Get more height and less pikey on layout.
Vault: Block more quickly and with tight arms.

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

OK my updated list:

Vault- Land fronthandspring fulls constantly. When I do a good twist I land on my face. lol
Bars- Get my giants to a flyaway and put them in my routine!!
Beam- Just get more consitant and be confortable up there.... ( Yeah not gonna happen lol)
Floor- Maybe put twisting in my routine? Have better form on everything.

Longtime goals

Ok So I'm not gonna have these done soon but its like before I go to college. I'm in 8th grade now.

To become a level 9.... ( i'm a level 8 now)
To get some sweet tricks aka straddle back bounding on floor( like front handspring front pike front tuck)


Also this doesn't really have much to do with goals...... But next season I get to get new music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want something fast. Thanks!
