Just thought I'd get some discussion going on. :)

What new skills are you guys working on?

I'm trying to get my back twisting on floor back, a handspring tuck series on beam, bail handstand on bars, shaposh drills on bars, and a layout yurchenko. There's others, but lets leave it at that for now.
 
Full on floor, yurchenko vault & giants on bars! I have never been afraid to try a skill when I am first learning but giants are really giving me a run for my money eeek. You all are so advanced!
 
@livelifetunble8dx It all comes with practice. Stick with it and you'll get there too. As long as you keep your shoulders open you'll be fine doing giants. They get to be fun eventually. They're like defying gravity! :)
 
Yurchenko and layouttsuk on vault,
Giant full and toehandstand on bars,
Punch front and side aerial on beam and RO 1 1/2 twist off beam
Double full on floor, front handspring 1 1/2 twist on floor
 
One handed cartwheel on beam
Front handspring on floor
Weird bar transition thingy
Punch Front of beam

I still have one more meet this season, so I am not working a lot of new stuff....yet.
 
Well I'm only in L4 so I'm not as advanced as you. :( I have to work on front handspring vaults, back extension, and cartwheel on beam. Also FHS on floor.
 
Well now that it is summer a lot more skills to work towards!

Bars: Fly away on double bar, I've been able to do it on single bar for pretty much 7 months now but my coach couldn't spot them, but since I'm moving up my new coach will be able to. Plus giants on strap bar

Beam: Having a consistent back walkover on beam, from metal blocks, to losing this skill then pulling a muscle in my back everything is stopping me from doing this skill!

Vault: just making my front hand spring nice when I vault 125, and just half on and offs

Floor: ROBHBT - coach would never let us tumble on the real floor since "most girls can't o anything on it so it's un fair"
 
On bars, I'm working on giants and layout flyaways.
On beam, it's BHS on high beam.
On floor I'm working on FHS FL and adding a tuck or pike.
On vault I'm working front handspring fronts, but that's just into the pit for now :)
 
Vault -tsuk
Bars- blindchange , pivot
Beam- side sault, flic back sault
Floor- handspring full twist, torchette, whip to 11/2 layout
 
Vault:Half on Half Off
Some Tsuk drills

Bars: Perfecting my flyaway
Perfecting my baby giant
Perfecting my free/clear hip
Giant on strap bar

Beam: Perfecting my BWO
Back handspring
Switch leap
Maybe a Valdez
Perfecting my full turn
Perfecting my back tuck dismount

Floor: ROBHSBT
FHSFT/FHSFLT
Johnson(switch straddle)
1 1/2 turn
 
Back Layout on floor, along with a FHS-front Layout. Back-handspring stepout and switch leap on beam. Giants and layout flyways on bars... Too many layouts!! (and side aerials on low beam just for fun ;) CX =D You're very advanced though! Nice!
 
On floor: mostly double backs lately because I have back probs so my front tumbling (mg specialty) is limited.
Bars: lots of pirouette drills, lots of clear hip hs, toe on hs, giant sets, front giants and bails.
Vault: yurechenko 1/2 ons
Beam: FHS, double tuck dismounts (into a pit of course) and bhs layout step outs
 
Floor: Front handspring front tucks, round off back handsprings
Vault: being consistent with all my vaults (handspring, half on, half-half)
Bars: Kip, free hip, flyaway
Beam: Front walkover, front handspring, and switch leaps
 
Floor: RO BHS layout full twist (just got my half)
Vault: half on-half off, front handspring half
Bars: uprise (I sometimes have it), straddle back drills, giants
Beam: backwalkover backhandspring on high beam (I can only do it on low), switch leap (which I have)
 
Connected BHS
(Floor)
Beam: front handspring
Vault: FHS
Bars: I have rips so I am just doing nothing (usually working on I do front hips or perfecting my long hang kip )
 
I'm coming back from an ankle injury so it's tough to get skills back but... Floor: punchfront and robhbt (tips appreciated!) beam: getting over the fear of bwo on high beam, full turn And bhs bars: flyaway, free hip, better kips vault: block for fh
