this week i did some pretty nice beam routines, and a first ever nice yerchenko full layed out
also a first double layout on floor, which is pretty ugly and inconsistent right now.
i also did a half in half out but i cant remember if that was this week..or last week?? lol
 
well i havent been training my tuck tsuk for like 2 or 3 weeks and i just did it on monday 2-9-09 and i almost landed it for the first time with my 2 coaches spotting me!!! my goals are to actually land it for the first time!!! i had a dream a few weeks ago that i was at a meet and my first vault was a half on half off and my second vault was my tuck tsuk and i landed it for the first time...at the meet!!! fyi this was a dream. but thats my #1 goal!!
 
It's truly amazing what goofing off can do: I managed to finally stick my switch split leap on floor after coaching tonight! (Which I promptly lost as soon as I got home :P) I also got my right leg split all the way down(after two weeks off, wow!)!
 
My clear hips on bars are really coming along now, too. No handstand yet, but I got a couple above 45° from vertical today... my new problem is continueing on out of them: Too much swing for baby giants, too little for real giants (besides, I can only do them on a strap bar), too scared to do a flyaway out of them. And on the low bar hitting my feet would be a major problem (sometimes I wish I was shorter)
 
This week at my meet, I stuck my floor routine. I didn'y have ANY extra steps. I scored a 9.5 (my highest)!!!!
Next week, I want to work on no wobbles in my beam routine. I almost fell at my meet, but I caugt myself.
 
My hs gymnastics team made it to state!!! It's this friday and saturday so I'm really happy and I hope we do really good!
 
I finally stuck my bwo on beam in a meet:D:D:D!!!!!!!! It is a really big deal for me because I have had some major fear issues on this skill:(, but I finally made it:D! Next week, I want to get my endurance back (I was out sick for 2 weeks:(!), so I can make it through my floor routine without passing out:p.
 
Well, this week i accomplished
Vault
nothing. if it went anywhere, it just went down.
Bars
nm. just routines. BORING!
Beam
Stuck 1:5 layoutstepouts (bad ratio i know, but its better than it has been)
Floor
Stood up a few front 1/1s and some back 2/1s.

i'm just hoping i can make everything in my meet today...
 
well this week I got my back layout step out, tsuk, backwalkover(again. Any one from WGC in aus will know this is a big deal for me...) back layout 1 1/2 twist(again)
I get alot of skills back after the holidays are over (we have a 6 week break)
 
made high bar kip (finally!!)

Congrats! It took me FOREVER AND EVER to get mine, i got it like two weeks ago. (My coach got me ice cream :D ) and i hope to get my high bar kip next week but this week i got my round off bhs bhs again (i lost it for like a month, it was weird)

i made my high bar kip two times today! My coach missed the first one but everyone was screaming so shes like "you made a high bar!" (i was still up there anyway...) i also got past my strange fear of back hipcircles on high bar :D today was a good bar day

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
