Side aerials on beam- when I was younger Kelly Garrison-Steves had a beautiful one.

My favorite skills are plain old back giants and double layout dismounts off bars. As to my favorite gymnast to watch performing those skills..umm--i don't know, but I looooove doing them!

I like to see illusions on beam, but not that many people do them. I love watching Nastia Liukin do every move in her bar routine!

I can do and illusion on beam. My coach says that if I do it when I am an optional, I'll get a D rating.

Well, from what I understand it's called a "Kivisto" in the JO level. I really like the way that looks. I love watching Kupets Tkatchev. And I love Hollie Vise's beam mount.

Ooh, that's a toughie. I guess my favorites to watch are a side one-and-three on floor and a full-twisting reverse hecht on high bar. Chris Young is my favorite to watch doing either one. I also really love double-layouts, but I don't really know who my favorite gymnast is to watch doing them.

My favorites to do myself are double backs on floor, as well as just about anything landing in a rollout.
