Handmade cards can mean a lot. Tell her in it that you look up to her and she inspires you!

Wow it's very pretty! I voted.

I definitely think it's a realistic goal. For me, I was stuck on low beam for awhile, until that day that it just worked perfectly and my feet started sticking. After you get your hands on, it's only a matter of time until your feet get with the program. And as for tips... practice! Repetition...

Straddle definitely. I can do pikes but I get so much more power from straddles.

I personally like holding 2 minutes each split. Then at the end of 2 minutes I hold my hands up for 10-20 seconds. I do this a few times while watching tv. I'm really inflexible and this has helped me!

I'm a level six, moving up next season. I'm at a YMCA though, I'm not sure if I'd move up at a club. I started "actually" doing gymnastics 2 years ago, so this is my third year. Before that I just did rec classes about once a year.

I hope my coaches get this information soon. They think new level 6 is like old level 7 and new level 7 is like old level 8.

Only 9.5 hours as a level 6. :( But I go to a YMCA so...

Mine are: Backwalkover (switch leg) backhandspring connection on beam press down mount on beam cast handstand GIANTS!

Bookworm, I don't know about JustMeHere, but I have stayed at the YMCA because of a few reasons. Though I could probably get better coaches and equipment at a different gym, the YMCA is cheaper and easier for my family. Just had to mentions that. :)

Haha I've always loved dive rolls! I always ask to do them when the lower levels are! I also love to do swan dives!

I have one main tip for you... practice. When I first started doing handsprings on beam I'd NEVER get my hands on. I literally did hundreds before I'd put my hands on the low beam. Try doing some where you focus only on your hands and don't worry about the landing. Eventually it'll just become...

Hey kitkat, I'd love it if you'd message me that conditioning sheet! I've been trying to come up with a plan. Thanks!
