I'm a fairly young judge but I've done well so far. I'll take a look at it if you'd like.

I did 7 8 9 this season. If I had another year to compete I would definitely stay 9. Level 9 bars is a whole different playing field. Seems like a hard jump if you don't yet have a backwalkover backhandspring on beam yet.

We just attended a Happy Happy Happy meet for Duck Dynasty. You could do some other show/movie. Maybe base it off of the new movie Frozen! It would certainly go with the weather..

I have practice from 3:30-8:30 for 3 nights out of the week. (The other days are shorter practices.) So on those days my mom comes to the gym at 6 and brings me dinner to make it through the last 2 1/2 hours of practice. My coach lets us have a "dinner break". She usually makes something with...

1. No 2.Taking out all the cubes on the first day so the pit won't be compacted 3.Floor tumbling pass and bars 4.Yes

Her ribs are out in the handstand. Can she hold a static handstand on the floor? If not then that's the coaches fault for not teaching a straight body handstand. If she can do it on the floor for a significant amount of time then she's just not thinking about it when she's up on the high bar in...

It fulfills all special requirements for level 8 and wouldn't have any compositional deductions. As far as the look goes--a good front through is better then a low front front any day in my opinion but that's up to you.

I watched it earlier today. It's gonna be great for my level 4's over the next few weeks/months. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Assuming you're talking about the JO code..if you're talking about the fig (elite) code then it might be different. But those are accurate for JO USAG.

1. Yes they're both D's 2. No, a double full is a C 3. Front full is a C 4. Double Arabian is an E

Gym time (I think?) was 9-12 AM 2-4 PM and then another hour or two of open gym in the evening that was optional. Plenty of gym time. Those times might not be exact but for the most part I think they're correct. Don't worry at all about not having enough gym time there. In fact, maybe better to...

Have you spotted some swing handstands on p-bars? Great drill.

I agree with turning your hands in on the backhandspring into a "diamond". Gives a little flexion so you don't lock out and hyperextend.

Our compulsory girls only get 6 hours a week as well. Just the current situation we're in. But I think their parents are paying close to $230 or so a month. So yes be grateful for that $80 tuition. :)
