I can totally relate to this. I quit my passion, gymnastics, early in high school. I knew it was the best choice for me and knew I wasn't going to the Olympics or anything. So sadly I quit I do miss it a lot and wish I could go back. However, I knew it was a good decision and ended up still...

Hey guys! I found this new gymnastics youtube channel and thought you guys should check it out! They post every weekday https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCyh_lNcNxTxFB8SCyykroMw

Definitely bars for me!

Bars!

This might seem like a dumb question, but are Becky and Ellie Downie somehow related?

What other countries have decided their women's team for the 2016 Olympics?

Wow! I suppose they went with Gabby because of 2012, but I think Ashton would have been a better choice.

Good question, wondering why she even switched gyms in the first place...

I definitely agree with you on every point made here. I'm honestly disappointed that Gabby is on the team. Also, what was the deal with all her coaching changes? That made an obvious impact on her performance in my opinion. Maybe she should have sticked with Chow...however, she fell Night 1 AND...

for headbands, I usually use under armor ones and bobby pin it hope that helps :)

I watched it! Amazing!

There are 4 years of high school. 9th grade (Freshman), 10th grade (Sophomore), 11th grade (Junior), 12th grade (Senior)

Yes, it is. I'm not a back tumbler either so I had to do more front tumbling and roundoffs. (For XCEL Gold)

I personally relate to this because I have tight shoulders myself. When I was in XCEL Gold, we had a choice between a cartwheel on beam or a backwalkover. Obviously, I choose the cartwheel. This is one reason why XCEl is such a great program.

I agree with that. If your DD wants something to enjoy and just have something to look forward too then I would go with a gym that is more "fun". If both of you want to actually compete then go to a more competitive gym.

Congrats on getting your staright-arm kip! :)

I was inspired, no parent. I started gymnastics when I was 7 years old.

I am in XCEL Gold so you can pick different options for your tumbling pass. I had the same problem and instead I did FHS stepout round off.

Wow, that's terrible that happened to them. :( Glad everyone is safe and congratulations on States!

Strength, coordination, then flexibility. In my opinion, for some it might be hard to gain strength and some it's a piece of cake. I guess it's just on the gymnast's determination and hard-work. For coordination and flexibility, it's natural. Yes, you can improve the gymnast's flexibility by...
