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.
 
@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! :)
 
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"
 
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
 
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: 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)
 
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
