I was just thinking how cool a FWO-FT dismont off beam would be. I've never seen before. You can't compete flight element in my level so FHS-FT is out of the question. It's bonus if you have a connected dismount. Can't do CW-BT (I can't cartwheel- I can do FWO, BWO, BHS but not a cartwheel. Figures!) We're not allowed to compete BWO-BT.

What could you do for drills, etc. for this connection?
 
A girl at my gym does this dismount and it's really pretty. From watching her, it seems like you need to have a good standing front tuck off the beam and a fast moving fwo and be confident in getting both feet on quickly and in the right place on the beam. Then just connect like a fhs ft on floor, although it does move a little slower because you're coming down one foot at a time. HTH!
 
Thanks! I've got a really good standing front tuck off the beam and a really good FHS-FT on floor, so once my FWO's get more consistant I think it will be really cool. That was a huge help!
