Well I dont know if this counts but im really good at falling, and making a fool out of myself... seriously though, tumbling and vault I have more power than grace.

Floor, vault, and generally being comfortable flipping and twisting.

i feel like i do well on all events but my floor tumbling isn't as good as it used to be because i broke my feet and was out for 3 months and it scares me sometimes but i think i am good at slow tumbling. i love every event though and i feel comfortable on each one

yeah, i was doing a round off three back handspring back tuck and landed next to the floor. on cement. i broke all my toes, my left ankle, right heel, and i had bone bruising in both heels. that happened june 12 of last year (two days before school got out) and they still hurt when i run a long ways, and when we do a lot of tumbling but the doctor said they will hurt until im done growing so it doesn't surprise me, it is still kinda scary to tuble but i'm working on it.

The good thing is you came back on track really fast! And were all proud of you! It hasnt even been a year and you have have 98% or your tumbling back. Better than half our class, give yourself more credit sometimes! And belive in yourself.

i was never felxible so had to rely on strenght. bars and vault were always easiest for me i could use strenght on bars and make it look like i wasnt trying at all and my speed (i do aths also) and block on vault ment i could do well there

I think I already posted my stuff on here but whatever. I don't think I said it all. Bars is my best event. Beam I can land connections. Floor I can tumble. Vault I can usually vault. Its just dance and dance and dance that I can't do. I think if I was a man gymnast it might be better for me. I guess they don't dance as much as we do? Idk I never was a man gymnast lol

I'm pretty clean too, and even though I'm small, I'm strong and fairly flexible.
I'm also as stubborn as hell and I hate losing, but that can be a bad thing too!
