Hi, my name's Jordan Dahl. We're talking about intermediate floor gymnastics and the next thing I wanted to talk about was your combination passes. Now you can start to get really creative with these now that you have gotten control of your double back handsprings and your back tucks. You can start really doing any combination that you can think of. The first that I would recommend is your double back handspring back tuck. The same, the same problems as before, you want to make sure you're seeing it as one, one tumbling pass, not all the separate tricks that goes into it. Keeping the rhythm with it, remembering and paying attention to your head and hand positions, making sure that those are where they should be. And just making sure that you're getting, controlling your power. This is a really big problem I see as people move onto harder combinations. They start going and build up a really big momentum and they'll just fly up in the air and they don't know how to control that much power. So you need to make sure you're taking it slow, not going, not going too advanced or too fast. Keeping it under your control, really paying attention to all the proper techniques. As you start doing these combinations, thinking up of your own passes to do, you need to keep in mind what we talked about at the beginning. The mental set, you need to make sure that you're really thinking about what you're going to do before you do it. Organizing it in your mind and knowing what you do so you don't get halfway through it and still wonder, "Whoa, what am I doing?" You need to make sure that that's under your control, you know what you're doing so that you can really pay attention to your body, especially your head position as you are throwing all of these different movements and they're requiring your head to go every which way. So it's important to organize that mindset, pay attention to your positions, especially your head and your hands, and really think about it as you are doing these combinations.
