Study these virtual images posted in random order, to help you with the following skills! |
Full twisting layout, also called a "full." These are terribly easy if you have 3 fast back handsprings to a good rebound, a good tuck and a good layout. Notice how she reaches UP before she turns. |
Another view of the "full." Simple! We have over 40 kids that can do it! |
Giant Swing: Look at the ARCH at the bottom of this swing! |
Giant Swing: another view. Look for the ARCH! |
Free Hip Circle: Look at the distance of the gymnast from the bar, and the HOLLOW position. There is NO ARCH. |
TAP Swings, notice the arch at the bottom. |
Vault entry: Notice how she leaves the board with her chest up, and arms! |
Front Handspring, Front Tuck: Notice how she looks at the ceiling on the handspring landing, and takes off with her chest up. |
Back extension roll: Look for the "candlestick" position. |
Front Hip Circle: Notice the straight body position to begin with, then the PIKE at the end of the skill. Enter with straight body, travel around halfway, then PIKE! |
Back tuck: Notice how the gymnast reaches back for the handspring, and UP for the tuck! |
Kip, front hip circle, cast: Notice how the ankles come to the bar before the kip, the legs are straight, and the body is HOLLOW in the cast. Straight arms throughout. |
Aerial. Easy! Just push off one leg, and reach for the floor with your foot instead of your hands. |
Flyaway: Let go of the bar with your ARMS BY YOUR EARS! |
Double Flyaway. Don't worry, we will have access to our pits soon, and lots of you are ready for this! |
Kip handstand: Notice how much she leans forward while casting!!! |
Roundoff back handsprings, REBOUND! We have learned that the REBOUND is the SECRET KEY to getting HIGH TUCKS! |
Handspring, flyspring: Notice how it appears she looks at the ceiling on the landing of the 1st skill, and then hits a handstand! This series has two handstands. |
