okay well this is my first year of gymnastics so i'm a little lost. i understand on every event you need 4 medium skills, 3 superior, 1 high superior, and you can add bonus superior to bump up your score. but i have a few questions for beam. i believe a dive cartwheel is a superior and counts as a flight element, but how high does it have to be to "count"? And do you need a jump combination on beam? like i've seen a lot of people on youtube do two jumps in a row. also does this consist of everything i need? i have:
-mount (medium)
-full turn (medium)
-switch leap (high superior)
-wolf jump (superior?) + split jump
-bwo bwo (2 mediums)
-dive cartwheel (superior)
-front tuck dismount (superior)

thank you so much! :)
 
I'm new to the world of HS gymnastics so I'm not totally sure of all the details just yet, but I'll help where I can. I also don't have my rule book with me at the moment, so can't look things up.
You do need a dance series of 2 jumps/leaps in different shapes. So your wolf jump+split jump would work. Wolf and split jump are both superiors provided you show 180 degree split in the split jump.
You also need a dance-acro series which it does not appear you have. So that would be a gym skill+jump/leap/turn or vice versa.
The dive cartwheel is subjective, but the general guideline I've heard is that it needs to show flight, so a time when no hands/feet are on the beam. I'm not totally sure if it's a medium or superior though.
Otherwise the routine looks pretty good. But I'm sure someone else with more experience can provide more details.
