Love Beam Turns!

[FlipTwistFly28]

Does anyone else here LOVE turns on beam?? I looovvee them!! Right now the hardest turn I have is a double and I also have a straight legged 1 and a half. I did a regular 1 and a half turn in Level 7 and was the only one on my team doing one! I've also done a 2 and a half, but I think I tried another one and fell off... but i thought it was really cool and it made me dizzy! I also think it's funny when people think full turns are hard to do (no offense to anyone who thinks they are), but turning just comes so naturally to me!

So does anyone else love them just as much?

If it weren't for beam turns I'd probably kill the beam...JOKING! Actually, no I was kinda serious...lol. I HATE beam!!!

Yup, I'm a beamer too!

Turns and switch leaps are the only things that I actually enjoy doing on beam. I'm currently working on a reverse attitude turn into a straddle jump... it's a little harder on beam than on floor!

Good for you! I am more nervous watching my DD do a full turn on beam than I am a Back handspring!

I've definitely seen some on beam. I can't find one of my favorite videos on youtube, but here's one: YouTube - Lindsey Vanden Eykel- 2002 Podium Meet Beam . They're fun to work, although I'm not sure if it's worth putting in my routine since it's only about 75% consistent.

"Love" is really not the right term...

beam is my favorite event. at one point i worked 1 1/2 turns and turns w/ my leg in different positions. i did behind me and slightly bent, in front straight, and in front of me bent.
