beam mounts

[jaime]

I have currently been working on a split mount on beam using no hands. I need some tips on ways to get to standing position, I have been doing a valdaz but hurts my back bad like something else that looks good and oh yea I am level 10. Thanks for any help from anyone that can help

Are you doing a forward or straddle split?

forward split

Jaime,

I will ask around at the gym and see if anyone has any other suggestions, but off the top of my head:
-- step up to needle scale, you'ld have to experiment how to get onto your dominant foot
-- drop to straddle and swing to hs or front walkover
-- back extension or roll out of same position as you started your valdez
-- full turn in tuck stand free leg horizontal or full turn in knee scale
-- full turn in prone position (yes I know you still aren't standing after this one, just brainstorming)
-- you could go retro with a body wave
-- swing through to shoulder roll
-- cast to whip salto (Kvisto) 8.301 in the code C value

Maybe the other girls on your team can help you invent your own unique way of getting up?

I'm not sure how many split mounts are here, but it's worth looking at. There are some real intersting ones.
