Hi guys! So I've been trying to learn an arm circle on vault, but the problem is I've never really practiced vaulting with them before. I know how to do an arm circle (and I do things like the old level 4/handstand fall flat or hand stand shoulder pops with an arm circle) but when I actually...

Hi! I had a lot of trouble with this too... I actually still do ;p but I have a good front handspring and I can rebound out of it too, so I'll try to help you! Driving your back leg faster is definitely a good start, and I would also say you need to reach out further with your hands in your...

Hi guys! The bars have been going better, so I just thought I'd say thanks for the help :) my kips, free hips and casts still aren't great but I've been able to start connecting skills, and I've gotten my giant on straps (it's actually really good! open shoulders, hollow over the top) I'm...

Ok that makes sense with the hollow I will try that thank you! My new gym has many girls who are weaker than me but have much stronger bars so I'm more hopeful here that bars will work out!

I'm not sure about jumping from your heels, although I did get that advice from a coach once.... It helps you sit back but I think it makes a back handspring on beam much scarier and harder.... I would say lean back on your heels as you swing and at the last moment push from the balls of your...

I tried the kips with straight arms for about four months last season.... Led to me getting very frustrated and wanting to quit for a while but I think with more maturity this year it might work. When you say tap to letter C what do you mean? I've never heard that term before.... Do you mean...

I definitely land light footed because without trying to add the salto I'm rebound like two feet in the air... Maybe I switch to flat feet when I try adding the flip? I'll try to really think about staying on my toes throughout. thank you!

At an open workout once I saw a coach have a girl actually do her arm swing and sit back fully in a chair a few times to practice sitting back. Then on the third time he pulled the chair out and she fell on her butt (Not just to be mean lol) That split second where if you don't jump back you'll...

Hi you could also try the T hand placement! That's worked wonders for me! Just place your second hand fingers facing your first hand that way they make a T. Also reach forward (which will come naturally with a good lever) and be confident! When your legs are coming down look through your armpits...

Hi so my problem is that my tumbling is really slow and I don't use the bounce in the floor so I'm just doing standing tumbling almost. My round off back handspring is really good, and same with FHS (rebound like two feet in the air) but as soon as I throw a salto in there, I start to bend my...

I don't think it starts with bad technique from my old gym, because I do have good understanding of hollow body and stuff, but rather that I'm older so we rushed to scrap a bar routine together and just let my bad habits go by the wayside (so basically I knew proper technique, I just didn't have...

Thanks for the replies! I think the timing thing is a good point... I'm repeating prep platinum for the third year. I'll ask my coaches what they think because bars is very frustrating for me!

So, I know that bars is (for many people) the hardest event, and often the one holding you back from going to the next level, whatever that may be. I recently switched gyms and was told at my old gym that my problem on bars was lack of strength, and I know that bars is an event where you really...
