She finally did it!!

Yes, my dd finally did not 1, not 2, but 3 ROBHS at practice last night!!!! By herself, without a spot! It's about time, huh? I was so proud of her and I could tell she was very proud of herself, too. I just had to share.

how exciting. DD just got her back handsprings by herself again last night. she had been unable to do them for awhile and now she is super excited. it really is a blast watching them work so hard and finally get something. that ROBHS is a huge skill for them to get and their first big skill on floor. yay for your DD!!!

Way to go! It is such a cool skill to get, like the kip, it feels like they are really doing gymnastics!!

Happy for her!

Yay! Congratulations to your DD! I was wondering how she was coming with that skill as I remember your worries about it right before her state meet. Good to hear she has finally got it!

Megley ~ everyone kept on saying "Oh, she'll get it by states." Well, states came and went and still no ROBHS. She didn't seem too upset about it, though. I knew she'd get it in time. We attended an open gym at our gym on Sunday. Typically it is extremely crowded. But not this weekend. She and her teammate got about an hour and a half of undivided attention from some Level 8 coaches who they just love. It was the best $15 I ever put into that gym!! I think that may have helped her confidence a bit. Now they're starting to learn Level 5 skills so it's the dreaded kip we're worried about now, as well as doing 2 backhand springs. But hey, I'm happy she's finally gotten the 1 down!

Netty, that is such great news! She has quite some time to get her double back handspring and I'm sure that now that she has the one, it won't be too difficult to get two. L is working on her kip and (I think) getting close. I keep hoping I will be able to post soon that she did it even though I know it will be months before it's anything like consistent.
