Haha well okay I'm pretty sure this thread has been posted a lot, but where do you get your leotards? I'm in need of some new ones, but I'm pretty much exhausted of Snowflake XD. I love their leos, but I want something new...like maybe not as expensive as GK, but still good quality. About as...

Yep, Ariel Athletics does a good job too. There are a lot of great gyms in the area...

Alamo Gymnastics. I don't live in San Antonio, but one of my teammates moved there and is at alamo as a level 5 now. They have a great team, boys and girls, and when we had a meet there it was really well organized and a very clean, well-equiped facility. I'm not sure how great their...

Ok so well I have never really regarded myself as flexible...I've been working really hard but by no means am I rubber band. Anywho, the other day my friend and I were stretching, (She's a ballet dancer,) and my straddle was almost at 180!!!! :O I've never had my straddle that far...while COLD...

Well, I've seen quite a few threads here about scoring out of level 6, which I'm about to do. (Yay!) So I was wondering who here has done it, how it worked out, and what was your experience. Also, coaches, do you do this often? If so, how, why and under what circumstances? I'm just...

just yesterday a girl from my gym was sent home from workout because she didn't do her back tuck off vault...

Really? I get blisters like that like all the time, and I've always taken the skin off ASAP. That's what we've always done...huh. learned something new... ^^

Yes, try stretching your shoulder more, but also you could be going crooked, so try to focus on jumping equally from both legs. :)

^^^^ Add 5 casts squat onto the second one. Oh, and it doesn't have to be connected at all. :) Good luck!! :D

Do you have your kip? if so, do this: Kip cast kip back hip circle back hip circle 5 casts squat on long hang kip back hip tap tap tap tap tap dismount. This is what we do at my gym about 3 times the first day you get grips- it works perfectly!! If not: pullover back hip circle back hip circle...

Take the flap of skin off. :)

Hmmm...It is a beautiful routine and I love the music!! But I did notice she fell out of her turn, and I don't know, but it looks like she took a zillion steps into her tumbling, which I think is a deduction. Also, he leap traveled a lot...XD I loved the chatter in the start. Great work!

OMG 7?!? Our level 7s normally vault on three and do tsuk timers on like 2 or 3. We vault on 4 sometimes, but only once on 7 and only 2 of us could do it!!

So I've been working front hand front and front hand layouts off the rod into the pit with a mat lately, but I have a problem: I cannot seem to find the perfect place for my feet to rebound into the tuck. Often, I punch too far and I just shoot out, while other times I barely make it to the...

okay so I'm 13 and I'm training level 7. I did gym for a while and quit at about 2nd grade, then I came back 2 years ago. I love it a ton, but there are issues: 1. I am training skills with 2nd and 3rd graders!!! they can do things better than I and it gets me so frustrated! I know these...

Yes, I'm dealing with 2 prestress fractures in my leg again (joy! :( ) and while Im not in your exact situation, I have a lot of pressure to get my skills now so I can score out, and I don't want to disappoint my coaches. what I do which helps is every night after gym and sometimes before if I...

I'd say to gain arm strength, hold it against the wall for 15 seconds 3 times twice a day for a first week, then the second, up it to 30, then the third to 45, etc until you get to 1.5 mins three times twice a day. also while you're doing it, work on your form. :D

So I was going to get some new leotards but was hoping not to spend too much $$. Discount Dance supply has them pretty cheap, but are they good?

1. Try holding handstand- even against a wall will build arm strength 2. Try to lock out your arms- like you're "stiff-arming" the floor 3. I always think of a BHS like a wave:you're back is on the wave and it is carrying you backward- this prevents me undercutting and really helps me. ;) 4. try...

So I was wondering how may hours others spend in the gym. I'm training level 7 and I do 24 hour a week, six days and four hours each day. What abut you?
