So I was just moved up to level 8 about two months ago and I need a new vault. I competed level 6 last season (front handspring vault) and never scored lower than a 9.0 on vault. I'm looking to compete a handspring front tuck on vault hopefully this season. My coaches say I have a pretty good...

I have an orchestral version of a Peter Pan! I actually make floor music (all kinds, even some collegiate athletes have used my edits) so I'll give you the link to my channel so you can take a look. (Ignore the username, haha, it was originally my sisters account.)...

My current high bar grips are getting too small and I don't feel very safe with them so I'm getting some new grips. I'm looking for something with double buckles, break in quick, and don't stretch very much. I also have HUGE hands (8-8 1/2 inches from wrist to tip of middle finger)! Any...

No other gym options :( There's only one other gym but they don't have a competitive team anymore. The owner of the gym is actually now looking into a new floor (Yay!!!)

Don't feel bad. It scares me too :D

I'm guessing that our gym scares you Dunno :)

WARNING: Rant ahead. Ok, so my gym literally has the WORST floor I have ever tumbled on. It's normal blue gym carpet on top but the foam is worn out to the point that the edges are starting to flake off and look like pit dust, the wood is cracked in multiple places because we have some good...

Good point! I never even though of that (oops). The first video is actually me and the second video is my teammate Zach. We were competing at the Peter Vidmar meet in California and our coach uploaded these videos on youtube. Hope that cleared everything up! Sorry for the confusion.

I'm going to post the links to two Level 6 floor routines. All I ask is to NOT watch past floor (It's the very beginning of the video) and give me some feedback. For example, Which routine was more visually appealing, better form, most amplitude, stuff like that. Please also leave some criticism...

Thanks! I know this is a super late reply but I fixed the twisting issue. I actually placed second on floor at the meet :)

I've just recently developed the strangest fear I've ever even heard off. I'm absolutely HORRIFIED of tumbling into back fulls, I'm perfectly fine with halves, but fulls are TERRIFYING. The setup of our tumble track doesn't help my fear either. It's positioned right next to a brick wall and...

A few days ago I was working just plain simple Arabians on the tumble track. I went to do it but I twisted the Arabian before I even landed my handspring. I went to go try again but I balked...ON THE HANDSPRING! I tried for hours just to do a round off handspring but I couldn't do it! My mind...

I was at my meet at All American meet and once we got on high bar something funny happened. First of all I forgot my grips so I did a high bar routine with out grips (first in like 2 years) and then I did a kip cast handstand and I forgot to shift my wrists so I got in the handstand and came...

I have this strange fear where I can't twist a flip out of a round off or round off back handspring. I have no problem twisting out of front tumbling for some odd reason. Once I set my mind freaks out and then I become scared to twist. I've had some pretty scary falls because if this. Any tips?

To add to the topic, my feet are huge! I'm 15 and almost in a size 15 shoe! Can someone distinguish the difference between Severs and Plantars Fasciitis? Not quite sure what the difference is.
