    USAG program

    Yes I do have access to a trampoline and have been trying to use a wedge mat as well. There are times I feel like I'm pretty good with the wedge mat but once I try to take it to the floor its no better. I think part of my problem is the beginning part. I feel so far from the ground standing so I...

    USAG program

    I'm actually still going through the compulsory level 5 since our competition is January 15th and it seems as if my coaches really want me to work through it this way. Georgi thinks that it is making me a better gymnast because its forcing me to work on things like cartwheels and handstands on...

    USAG program

    Some of our team want to do more competitions so we're trying to do some USAG competitions. We took a look at the rules for the prep opp gold and platinum and realized I need to at least compete level 5 with 31.00 or more overall to compete those prep opp levels so right now I'm learning all the...

    Fears You Have Overcome

    Everyday is somewhat of a battle with fear for me but it feels i am normally able to overcome them. Somehow I have started tsuks & yurchankos on vault despite all my fears of vault at the beginning. I also am able to do backwalkovers on beam as well as backwalkover backtuck dismounts with no...

    AAU Competitions

    Hey everyone, I was reading about the ohio meet and I'm excited they are adding in the ladies division level 8. Unfortunately thats a little far for all of us here in Myrtle Beach. We would really like to go to a few more competitions this year though and are hoping to get other people's support...

    This week I accomplished...2010 version

    Finally got my giants on strap bar from tap swings by myself. It took 6 different tries and a lot of encouragement from my coach & teammates but I'm so happy I finally did a few. I'm ready to try again next practice and hopefully get a few more in a row. Also on thursday I finally did my two...

    This week I accomplished...2010 version

    Working Yurchenkos for vault. I love them. I was a little nervous about doing my roundoff onto the springboard but I'm really liking them now. I did a really good one today, although right now I'm just doing the backhandspring onto a big blue matt and pushing off into the pit its still pretty...

    Just Curious...

    I think the main thing about adult classes is letting the coaches know what you want out of the class. I think if its a class just once or twice a week with all different levels they figure you're just in to have fun and don't feel its necessary for you to learn a back extension roll. Instead...

    She's 50!

    This week I accomplished...2010 version

    Well I'm not doing the level of skills all of you are doing but I was happy I finally did my fronttuck on floor with no matt and no spot. I don't know what it is about front tumbling but it just scares me so that was a huge accomplishment for me. Also I starting working on tsuks for the first...

    Fear! Help!

    I find it so funny that everyone is talking about it being natural to have a fear of going backwards. Going backwards for me seems so natural but I despise going forward. I have my punch front fine but I will not do it without a spot. I am so afraid of the landing. I try and imagine myself doing...

    This week I accomplished...2010 version

    I actually have been doing gymnastics recreationally off and on throughout the years but our little adult team really got going in january of this year so we had to get ourselves together pretty quickly. Ruth did competitive gymnastics for until she was about 13 when she got a serious knee...

    JDCrook08, Nice job at nationals. I enjoyed watching your video. I think I saw you practicing your valdez on balance beam before we competed and was impressed. I used to be able to do one of those but only on the floor. I don't know if you noticed our little south carolina group. We're not...

    July 1-4th Meet at Disney's Wide World of Sports

    Good job everyone. Wish I had known who everyone was while our little team from Myrtle Beach was there. Did you all compete in level 8 Ladies Division? Only one of us competed in that division. Ruth and i competed in the Modified Optionals. Our little team has a website if anyone ever wants to...

    AAU Nationals Virginia Beach

    oh wow I didn't know the competition would be two days. There are 3 from my gym, not including myself since I have to attend a wedding on saturday :(, that are supposed to be going. I don't think they were planning on staying over night though so I guess I better bring this to their attention...

    Age Divisions for Ladies Division

    Keep it up Gym-Nice-tics we all have your back and know what you're going through. Until about a year and a half ago I experienced the same exact thing. I actually did some prep op when I was about 22/23 but I don't think anyone took me too seriously and then I got injuried and when I tried to...

    Age Divisions for Ladies Division

    Hey Nicki, I just read your post. That is so awesome that there is a masters division in New Zealand. I wish they had that in the United States and I most of all I just wish I didn't get such strange looks from people when I tell them I do gymnastics, not my kids (I don't have any yet but they...

    July 1-4th Meet at Disney's Wide World of Sports

    The real question is how many of us that are over 22 in the Ladies Division are going to be competing? We had quite a few in south carolina but the majority were between 16 & 18.
