Press handstands are def. great. They take a lot of strength and control to master. I've started working some level seven skills on beam- front walkover-fronthandspring, and a switch leap. they're really fun to do. The blind landings on the front w/o FHS make the combination exhilerating. I also love cast handstand-clearhip handstand on bars. It's a natural high!

Bar in general is a blast, and I imagine it must be the same on unevens once you reach the higher levels.

Great thing about bar/bars is that you never stop moving.

My favorite skill is the plain and simple flyaway... and back walk over on the beam.

I hate bar flyaways with passion. I had a really bad crash a few years ago on a double-back, and haven't done a flyaway except into a pit since.

Rings or p-bar flyaways, though, are another story.

Flyaways are so much fun! Do you do tuck, layout? I can do either, and might be able to start doing double backs this summer.

I don't know proper words for my favorite but I like when they "double flip and dismount from the beam.

I love any skill dealing with bars!! fly aways are awesome! I still say back giants have to be my all time favorite though...I guess that's why I set my gym record at 57 consecutive giants on a single rail...would have kept going to 60 but my hand slipped.

That's awesome. I might get to start working giants after nationals at the end of June.
