Beam Mounts

[SquirrelLadyMir]

Last year I did the level 6 USAG mount for my beam routine. This year, I'd really like something more interesting and unique. Probably a lot more challenging, too . Anyways, I'd just like to know if anyone's got some ideas.

Oh, I'm a level 8. Forgot that

Um Im a level 8 too =] I do like the level 6 mount then I kinda do like the flair sorta? Like the men do on the pommel horse? I do that 3/4 then im like on front support on the beam and i cast and do a squat on. I've seen someone do a cast handstand on youtube. many people do splits or straddles just youtube beam mounts theres a lot of original ones!

I used to do a front roll onto the end of the beam. It's really fun, but it might not be hard enough for your liking.


Edit: There are a bunch of interesting mounts in this montage made by cccam:

My daughter does a headstand. It is her "signature move" and has had the same mount since levle 8 (she is now level 10). See link below...not her best beam but gives you an idea.

Oh my goodness gracious. Sorry, but my mind didn't quite process that... Can you possibly explain it again???

On saturday I tried some front tuck mounts onto a block.. But I'm not sure that's really the best idea.. It seems like something you could fall on a lot. And I don't really want to fall on the first skill in my routine... Not sure

you could do a yurchanko mount--with either a handspring or a layout. You could to Dominque Mocheanu's mount. When I was a level 8 I did a handstand forward roll mount--not too dificult once you get the hang of it..same with the yurchanko handspring (I did it level 9 & 10).
