So I’ve had my front tuck on tramp for many months at this point, but a couple of weeks ago over rotation became a serious problem. I nearly got injured, but even though I didn’t it set a bit of a mental block, which is disappointing on such a simple skill. I really don’t know how to over rotate without under rotating and it’s getting really frustrating. Any tips?
 
I tend to over over rotate if I whip my arms down too fast. I also find I over rotate if I go to quickly into the somersault rather than bringing it up straight first before going into the move. I found as mine actually lifted higher and improved on the trampoline I started to over rotate as I needed to retrain my brain when to untuck and land the move. I hope this helps.

If you find you keep flying forward on the trampoline you can either put a mat in front of you on the trampoline or get your coach to push a mat in for safety as you do the move.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
