Women Platinum Beam

[Splat]

I with support from my coaches have change my series of cartwheel BWO to BHS. We just had our second meet and upon receiving a low score my coach was told I'm missing an A element. My routine consist of a mount, switch leap, full turn, split jump tuck jump, back handspring, back gainer. Is it true that I need another A skill? If so what are some easy A skills.

For XCel Platinum, you need 6 A’s and 1 B. Not knowing what your mount is, I am not sure if it is an A or not. If not, you are missing an A. The easiest thing to do is to change your mount to an A mount if it is not. Or just add a straight jump.

Even without the mount I count 5As and 1 B, unless they need 6As?
1. Switch leap
2. Full turn
3. Split jump
4. Tuck jump
5. Bhs (B)
6. Gainer

Yes, sorry I edited my post above. I mistyped. It is 6 A’s and 1 B

If you are doing the basic leg swing mount, you could change it up and do a switch leg swing mount... If you look at video of OLD Level 6 compulsory beam routines, they did it there. (I linked one).

skip to 0:46 to see the mount.

Or you could do a cat leap or a 2 second scale (not on toe... on toe is a B, flat footed is an A) or a straight jump.

If your mount is not in either the Xcel or JO code, then it isn’t technically a skill. So yes, you would be missing 1 A skill.
