Next year?

[gracefulone]

So what are everyone's goals for next year? Moving up? Or new skill goals?

For me, I'm going to stay level 7. It's my senior year and I don't want to have to worry about a ton of new skills for 8. (although yurchenkos are seriously fun!!)
I may try a new vault...1/2 on's and variations. If not, I want to get a, if not multiple, 9 on my handspring vault. Bars...I will consider trying giants. Otherwise I want a consistent cast handstand. Beam-I want to stick that series of mine! Nothing else I really want. Floor-I want to work more on my tumbling, so my fun routine(people from all over the state compliment me on it b/c I have so much fun. And I even turned heads from all over the country at Y nats) looks good technically as well. That's pretty much me.

Ah well because I didn't compete level 9 states due to a back injury I wont be able to move up to level 10. Lame. I have SO many new skills to learn because it is my senior year and my last chance to get college offers. I'm very nervous about that part. Uh I need a release on bars along with a few small things, a completely new vault because I just wasn't turning over my hand front. On beam I'd like to add in a few random skills like an ariel and front tuck. And floor I just need to overall boost up my tumbling and stop being afraid of twisting lol..... I'm not ambitious or anything for this year. Lol. : )

Sounds good!

For next year I'm not moving up..because I can't (it's complicated), so most of the new skills i want to work on are just for fun, because i cant compete them.

I really want to work on BARS! My bars REALLY need work and i tend to avoid them. :P I need a consistent tight kip that flows well in my routine and isn't like eew. and i want to get my long kip.
on floor i want to get a consistent back full (layout and tucked). And a new good floor routine!
on beam i want to get a consistent backhandspring on the high beam (early in the year). i want to try new dismounts like front full? and if my back allows it i want to work on frontwalkovers again.
and on vault i want to work on half twists again. and work on sticking my vaults.

Next year is also my senior year, but i want to see if i can do university gymnastics.

Front walkovers are fun on beam!!

I have no intention of competing after highschool. Really, I'm kind of ready to be done already, but I wan to do this year as a thank you to my coaches and parents who have been so supportive.

This is my last year as well, since I'll be graduating from college. My main goals are to stay healthy, compete AA at Nationals (NAIGC), and qualify for at least two event finals (preferably bars and floor; I've made bars 2/2 times, beam 1/2 times, and just missed floor both years I went to Nationals). Placing AA would also be nice. My more specific goals: compete a real vault (I'd like to tuck tsuk 1/2 again, but more realistically it'll be a 1/2 on 1/1 or 3/2 off), full start values on beam/floor, upgrade tumbling (to 1 1/2 punch front, whip 1/2 front pike, 1/1), and fix my BHS BHS.

Good luck to everyone!

BTW Even though I said I didn't want anything more from beam, I did a new jump series last night that my coach is insisting I add. Instead of split jump-split 1/4, it will now be pike jump-split jump.

And a front layout could be in my future on floor...

I'll be a 2nd year 8. I'm getting a new floor routine. No more walking on sunshine!For floor I want to do bounding as my double salto instead of doing the front tuck step out one. I did do some bounding at woodward.I also did some fhs front layouts so that could be one of my passes possibly.I want do a full. Right now its at at least 3/4 or something. Idk I competed a half last year.Beam I'm prolly keeping my bhs bhs unless my coach gets some psycho ideas. I was doing random stuff like the side handstand step down and a half piruoette and a one handed cartwheel and working on new jumps on beam but I don't know what my routine will be.Bars I want to put it a straddle back. I did some straddle backs at camp but I haven't done it in my gym yet.Vault I want to tsuk I flipped a lot into the pitt at camp.It would be cool if I did a fhs double full on vault too but thats not going to happen. We saw a girl do it at event finals at Y nats. BEAST.

This year I will hopefully be a first year level 9.
On vault i'm working my yurchenko which goes from me having it by myself to going back to drills cause somehow I messed it up again!
On bars i'm working on my bling change and pak salto. Lets just say straddle backs and overshoots are out of the question because as of 4 days ago I have faceplanted the bar on both of them! haha
On beam I am working bhs layout to 2 feet, side aerial, and switch side leap. And my coach insists on me doing a straddle jump back tuck but the only problem is I can't do a straddle jump on beam if my life depended on it!
On floor I am still playing around with some ideas. I get a new floor routine this year and I think I am using Assassins Tango I don't know if im doing a double back or a double full, or if my crazy coach wants me to, i may have to do both.

This year I'm going to be a first year level 7. I got my backhandspring on high beam this morning =D I just need to get a giant by myself!
