Definition: The word form is used in gymnastics to describe the way an athlete does his/her skills. Good form is to perform the move with the right body positions -- usually straight legs, pointed toes, and arms in the correct position.
Good form can vary from skill to skill. For example, good form in a back tuck would be to have the legs tucked and together, with toes pointed. In a regular handstand, however, good form would be to keep the legs straight.
