I have been doing cartwheels and handstands on low beam for a year, but I cannot do them on high beam.
I am afraid of falling over in my handstand, and my coaches tell me to twist off, but I don't know how!!! Also, when I practice them on the floor beam, I often fall completely to the side... which is pretty scary, even if it's just on the floor beam.
In cartwheels.... I don't really know what I'm scared of. Landing in a straddle on the beam, I guess. But a cartwheel is not a fast, sudden skill, so I shouldn't fall like that; my legs should just go on the same side of the beam. But still, I am TERRIFIED of doing them on high beam.
I am overall just afraid of doing ANYTHING on the high beam...
Anybody have any tips that will make me less afraid of cartwheels/handstands on the high beam? Thanks, I really want to get my cartwheel soon, I've been working on it FOREVER!
