Front Tucks

Boo has been working on her front handspring-front tuck combination on floor and today she was able to connect it consistently. She’s still doing them on the resi mats but feels confident that she’ll be doing them on the floor soon. She also worked on back walkovers on beam and did several on both the low and medium beams. As a reward, her coach let her jump off the end of the beam into the pit. By the end of practice, Boo was doing front tucks off the beam into the pit and the coach had her preparing to do them onto the resi. And on bars, she worked her clear hips on the high strap bar and was able to push off cleanly and connect the clear hip into a nice tap swing. Go, Boo! She is just rocking these new skills and having so much fun doing it.

A resi is a mat in the floor that's super soft and squishy. It's also kind of bouncy, though not as much as a trampoline.
