    Flight on beam (USAIGC)

    I'm trying to do silver in USAIGC. I need a flight on beam. So far I've tried BHS but that really hurts my wrists because I have permanant injury to them, and I cant get them to turn in the right direction. I've tried round-off but I've hurt my ankle EVERY time I do them... and I'm kinda...

    Conditioning

    I go to gym 3x a week. 3 hours each time. I used to work out at home but I just can't find the time. Do you think I need more conditioning? If yes, then how much/what kind of conditioning should I do? And should I do it on the days I already go to gym? Or just weekends? Or....? Thanks(:

    Roundoff On Beam

    I'm trying to work on a roundoff on beam. I am a righty and i know my right foot is supposed to land in front of my left on the beam. But for some reason.. I can only get my left on the beam. I'm not scared to put the other foot on, but it just wont go on. Any advice? Drills?

    Not important really

    Is there a place you can go to find out when the big gymnastics things are playing on tv? Or is there someone who can keep me updated? :P Thanks.

    Back handspring + beam = AH! O_O

    I'm scared to do my back handspring on the beam... When I think to myself "Why even bother staying in gymnastics if im not going to try new things?" It helps but when I get on that beam.. I just totally freak out. So basically, I'm not scared to do my BHS on beam at all, until I get on the...

    Gym on Dish

    Hey, I LOVE watching gymnastics on tv at my friends house, but she has cable or something. I have dish network... But gymnastics only came on once on dish... Does anyone know a channel - on dish network - that they play gymnastics on? And if so, how often do they play? Thanks:)

    Can't afford gymnastics :(

    I've had to take the summer off of gymnastics every year for 6 years, and it really holds me back. My school pays for the school year only. But only pays for 1X / week and my coach says I need to go at least 2x/week. But I can't afford it... I'm already selling cookies and things.. but it's...

    Which one? (front tuck pass)

    I'm doing USAIGC silver and I have my front tuck (I squat instead of stand, but i have time to fix it), and I have my Front Hand Spring (ditto to the FT). And my options for my routine is: Front tuck step out FHS, or FHS front tuck. Which one is easier? My front tuck (by itself) is better...

    Backtucks

    Hey everyone! Ok I'm really weird.... When my coach is spotting (not really, just touching me with one finger) me on my roundoff-backhandspring-back tuck on floor... I can literally see her head. That's how high I go. And I KNOW I have it by myself, but everytime I do it by myself, I just end...
