New Skill
I'm so excited. I haven't really been learning new skills lately, just perfecting old ones. But today, my coach suggested I work on twisting my layout flyaway. She told me just to do my layout, land, and do a jump half turn. When she watched me, she just said, oh yeah you can do that easily. I made a half. I never thought I'd be twisting!

For some reason, I've never been able to twist flyaways. I'm generally equally comfortable flipping or twisting, but off high-bar I was always a multiple-flipper (back when I was still doing all events, anyway)

haha! yeah about that... my gym seriously underestimates what i can do because im not on team. they group me [and my friend] with a bunch of little, untalented kids who can't do much. one day i was getting really mad at my coach becuase she was treating me like a baby [again] so i was on the bar swinging and she said, okay ill spot you for a flyaway, ill count. one, two, three... i did a flyaway tuck full with a stuck landing. everyone in the gym made a huge fuss like :
"how can she do that?!? shes not on team shes not one of the special chosssssssen ones!"
its called skill ya morons.
my friend did the same thing the next turn
