I have this at my home for my granddaughter she practices all the time she is at a level 5 in gymnastics and will be going to states this has helped to get her there. Everybody thought I was crazy for buying this.

My daughter competes at USAG level 3, which this year is the previous level 4 skills. She can practice her routine on this beam at home. This is the same routine that she does at the gym on the high beam. Doing these skills on a lower beam at home really helps their balance and confidence. By the way, the gym has 2 beams exactly this size that the kids are sent to practice on if they are struggling on the high beam. It is also the same width as the high beam.

Yes, my step-daughter loves her beam and practices on it daily. She is still a beginner though.

Yes, my daughter has been doing gymnastics for 5 years and loves hers. Very sturdy and easy to move.

Not sure yet...my daughter has only done cartwheels and handstands on it at this level in gymnastics. So far it has been a help for her though she does say it is a different feel than the beam at her gym.

Your answer is yes it is. Its design and depth is definitely for you. May I suggest purchasing finger ease . It will be probably more comfortable if you are persistent in your endeavor to learn

No! Unless you are committed to spending a lot of time learning and have the correct tools ie. a set of fids, don't even try.

No, I don't think so. You develop your own feel, and I think that is just fine. I don't think you can do much better by observing yourself. I think you need an outside observer to correct you for improvement. An experienced outside observer. If you get to the point where you think you are doing everything right, I'd maybe try contacting Dr. Cheng and ask for recommendations on a master in your area who could give one-off coaching sessions.

i do a lot of yoga as well. this was not too difficult for me. my age is 53. since i haven't seen (or even known about) an advanced dvd, i don't know if you should listen to my advice. all i can tell you is that i liked this tape, and it was not too difficult for me. then again, i certainly do not have the flexibility of the instructor which was no surprise to me. if you're really flexible and in your 20's or 30's, go for the advanced. if in doubt, this one should be fine for you. hope i helped!

Probably should get answer from someone who is better technically trained than me.

This is a good one to use, but may require a little research on specifics of function. I have enjoyed using mine. It is actually not intended for beginners, but it is a nice device.

Unless your drawing very detailed website images I'd think you'd be okay with either. You may lose a bit of accuracy, a few shortcut buttons and some sensitivity when you push down but it doesn't really seem like you'd use the features anyway.

It's a great piece pf equipment once you figure out how to use it. It's not something you'll master in an hour or a few days, it's extremely complicated with all it's features and requires hands-on work to master. I have no complaints with mine but the learning curve is steep. In all it's an amazing value for the money.

And btw I used it for practice and for boards and have since found the unique challenges I ran into while using it to be quite similar to the challenges I have with some clients. (I.e. Flat narrow nail beds, awkward hand placement etc.)

Yes. Whether you have the requisite skills is another question, but yes, I could.

Yes, but he should be instructed alot in its use. It is not hard to use but there arecertain adjustments that must be learned, to use us effectively.

I use it for instructional purposes. I am the aquatic director of a pool. I think it would be fine for that.
835430
no. the teaching is very clear and easy to follow. I hope that you will enjoy as much as my mum does...she's in her 70's....so its NOT demanding.

I think it would work well for non beginners also. It really depends on what you would want for your board. You could probably change everything if you wanted to.

Yeah I would say it could be used for tricks, but only if you know how. if you get the whip and it isn't working....It isn't the whip it is you. So yes I would say that this would be a great whip, especially for learning, but also for advanced uses as well!

It is definitely for them to practice. My granddaughter uses it to do her bar skills and for tumbling. Its would be perfect for her great investment
