Yay I got my cartwheel on high beam..

[gymnastjess]

Hey.... so at gym on saturday i stuck my very first cartwheel on high beam. It's funny because i still can't always land my cartwheel on low beam but high beam seems so much easier for me , I know that the cartwheel in the vid is terrible but all my good ones were gone for the day after showing both my coaches and team-mates and convincing myself i can do it haha...
YouTube - Cartwheel on high beam...
Also, the cartwheel is at the end. At the start is my team-mate Jess and one of my coaches Kasey doing 1 handed handstands and trying to hi-5 each other hehe

Can't see the video at work, but congrats to you on getting that skill. That can be such a tricky one to get.

Congratulations on getting your cartwheel on high beam, thats a great achievement!

Many people do find the high beam easier because with the low beam being so close to the ground its no big deal to go off to the side and land on the floor, for the high beam its much more of a big deal so they just have their focus in differently.

That looked really steady - well done!
- you'll have to update your sig, to say its your newest skill!

Excellent job! That is awesome! Yeah, it's not too uncommon, as Aussiecoach said, to be able to do a cartwheel on highbeam with less issue, because the fall down is A LOT further lol

Good job! I've been watching my daughter and her group working on this and I know it's tough to get. Way to go!
