    Video of Kadee's bar routine

    I wanted to post this, to show how hard my baby fought for that high bar kip/long hang kip. The routine is not "clean". She has a pretty funky FHC in it and some form issues. But she fought so so hard for that kip. Although she didn't get credit for it. She doesn't realize that.
    When I asked her why she fought so hard for it she said..."Momma..I know I can do it, you know I can do it, the girls (teammates) know I can do it, and my coaches konw...but the judges didn't know, and I wanted them to know I could do it". No way I could be upset with her about that...lol. I think she did pretty good for a little girl who turned 7 in Aug.

    The bars were brand spanking new..they came out of the wrapping and everything when we were setting them up. Never felt a set of bars with such deep feeling "ridges" in them. A lot of the girls from several teams made mention about how "rough" the bars were. That their hands didn't move as freely as they were used to. Oh, well. It is what it is. It was an issue with most girls..so not an excuse.

    For the love of pete, I got stuck on stupid posting this video

    She's got a lot of spunk. Good for her for not quitting...who cares if she got credit for it??

    I had to smile watching this routine, because my daughter competed its twin several times during her first year's trip through L5. The kid could not do a clean kip to save her life, but she somehow found a way to get up there. She's now fighting for her kip-cast-handstands, because, as of about three or four weeks ago, the giants are there.

    Have faith! That kind of determination is well more than half the battle. Your daughter has the spirit needed to make it in this sport!

    Yay for Kaydee!! I remember it well. DD had to muscle many a kip gone wrong. She's willing to fight for it and you can't buy that

    Hopefully, when she looks back at this years from now, she won't see the form breaks and problems, but rather what the sheer force of determination and will can accomplish. Good for her.

    Years from now, when "drunk, club-footed orangutan" is an everyday term, we'll all look back at this and laugh.

    That's so inspiring to watch - if there were a gold medal for determination...

    Also, to a little girl, having 'made' her kip will give her confidence - I made it last time, so I can do it again

    Well done to your daughter!

    That fight she showed there?

    Way more important, in the long run of life, than a highbar kip. That's what this sport REALLY teaches you!

    The above made sense in my head, but the words may not be in the right order. I'm just SO EXCITED to be here!
