I totally agree that if i get asked 'so can you do a backflip??' one more time i'm gonna explode. Then i say yes and they're like OMG no wayyy prove it! as though it's something massive and awesome xD Do they really think that gymnastics is about just back flips? Surely they know it gets wayyy harder than that!
Also with rips and stuff people think they're so much of a big deal. When i rip or if i bruise my leg or something my friend is like 'i think you should quit gymnastics, it's bad for you and its so stupid what youre doing to yourself' and im thinking jeez it's no big deal!
Oh and also!!!! the other day i told my music teacher that i had a tumbling competition on Friday and she goes 'Right, don't laugh at me, and i'm not making fun of you or anything i'm asking a serious question... is tumbling just doing forwards rolls down a mat?'
I was like 'if only.....'
