Straddle Over Beam Mount

This entry is part 3 of 6 in the series: Variety of Beam Mounts

This is an interesting mount that can usually be accomplished without too much trouble. Starting on the spring board, the athlete jumps up and a little back, straddling the legs as much as possible and quickly placing the hands on the apparatus.

Still Frame 1 – Check at this point how the gymnast’s weight support is on her arms with her shoulders in front.
Still Frame 2 – Notice the shoulders still in front at the skills completion.

Watch the whole skill at its regular speed.
