Today was my first meet and I got a 9.5 starting value because I had "a broken dance pass". What the heck does that mean???

What is the deduction for having a too long routine for, lets say, beam? I am in Xcel..and I just need an estimate, at least!! Thank you!! (Like if the time limit is 50 seconds and my routine turns out to be 1 minute)

This is my first season and I need to find my floor music within a couple days! It has to be a minute long. I'm good at dance and flexibility and grace and I am tall and old for a gymnast. I really like Katelyn Ohashi's 2012 floor music "Onegin's theme" and Nastia Liukin's 2008 music. I would...

Ah, yes, I always have some big issue on my back handspring. -On the landing of my back handspring, my hands are way behind me and my head, chest, and belly land way in front, often causing me to hit my head on the landing. -I always try to jump as powerfully as I can and push my arms way back...

I will have some grains to give me energy, fruit or something with natural sugar to give me a boost, and some protein to fill me up. I'll also hydrate with a lot of water before.

Parents are probably gonna make me quit gymanstics- HELP?!!! I'M FREAKING OUT. I think I got a stress fracture and I've already broken my elbow once from gymnastics. I started in August and am a level 4. (I'm fourteen) My parents started reading about the injuries, back problems, possible...

I'M FREAKING OUT. I think I got a stress fracture and I've already broken my elbow once from gymnastics. I started in August and am a level 4. (I'm fourteen) My parents started reading about the injuries, back problems, possible paralysis, and possible eventual arthritis. GYMNASTICS IS MY LIFE...

I got my back handspring over a month ago. It was all good except a couple classes ago my arms started bending. And every class it had gotten worse and worse, more and more bending (to the point where my head hits the ground). Also, more and more pain in my forearms from doing it with bent arms...

1. Stop overthinking it! 2. Finish! 3. Point your toes!

I started gymnastics in mid August of 2012. I am currently a level 4..I don't compete but I definitely want to soon, after I clean up a few things. My coach, out of the blue, asked me what I want to do with gymnastics. I told her I wanted to compete and get as good as I can. She also asked me of...

How long did it take you to get a good back handspring once you did it alone for the first time? ALSO How long did it take you to get really comfortable with them+did you lose it at all after you got it for the first time? Just wondering, beacuse I just got mine. :)

I don't know what piking at the beginning looks like. I know I am piking at the end, though. Maybe the end, too. Thanks for the advice:)

I just started level 4 rec this January. I was wondering... About how much longer is practice in level five (competitive)? About how much money is it going to be per month? Do you have to master your level 4 skills to get into level 5, or get your level four AND five skills? Thankss. :)

I just got my back handspring on a mat today, (yay!) except I am piking. My coach told me I was, though I don't know how badly. I don't get stuck in a handstand or anything so it can't be that bad, right? Anyway, my questions are... Will I gradually stop piking as I do more back handsprings...

Thanks! I never thought about it like this. Thanks so much for the help! :)

Hello, I am new here, and I wanted to ask a question concerning my back handspring. I'm 13 (14 on Tuesday) years old and I just began level four gymnastics. Except...I don't have my back handspring! I've been trying to get this skill for five months now, but with very little practice. See, I go...
