I'm training level 6 at a private gym and my favorite event is floor because I love tumbling. My favorite skill on floor is front tucks, beam is backwalkovers, and bars umm free hips i guess. I am extremely afraid to do my flyaway on bars though! I don't know why...even if I have double spotters...

That happens to me all the time too! Especially when I'm at someone elses gymnastics meet. It's so hard to just sit there and watch, because I want to just jump the rope and start tumbling or something! I know what you mean!

I think the strap bars okay. It's painful and leaves these big burns on both my wrists and forearms that last for like a month, even if I use the biggest straps. It's not like my wrists are insanely huge or anything either, but I think it's fun and helpful other than that.

I've been to the Mizozu and SEMO gymnastics camps and it was a lot of fun plus I learned lots of new skills. Those ones at least, you spend a lot of time in the gym. Pretty much all you do is eat breakfast, then go to the gym, then eat lunch, and go to the gym again,then eat dinner, then do an...

I wear clear strap bras, so if the strap pops out when I'm competing, I don't get deducted.

Yeah, my best friend on my gymnastics team and outside of gymnastics is quitting after our next meet. I asked her why, and she said, "Because I'm not good." Since she keeps telling herself shes not good or that she cant do a certain skill, than she really is not going to be able to. I just wish...

I'm 5'6 and my competition leo is an AL but I wear an AS in those micro minis for practice.

I'm 5'6 too and my competition leotard is GK and its an AL. I wear AS, AM, and AL in practice leos depending on the style and fabric. I just had my first meet with my new competition leo and i also found that it constantly rides up on the hips so it looks really weird. It's so hard not to pick...

I love buying new leos too!! I have 6 practice leos and 1 competition leo because my old competition leo wasn't long sleeve so we use it as a practice one now.

My teams colors are columbia blue, black, and silver. My friends team colors are lime green and black and that looks really cool too, plus not many teams have that color combination.

I didn't see that nevertooold already suggested this. Sorry for repeating!

This is going to sound really simple, but I had the same problem. I used to just draw an X with chalk on the mat in front of the bar, and then looked at it when I did the shoot through. Btw, it also helped me a lot in my sqaut on. After you do this for some time you will get used to looking at...

No, I'm in level 5.

My coach told me last night at practice that my grips were shaped/bent the wrong way so that's why it was so hard for me to tap on the high bar and do kips. She said I was gripping the bar wrong and I might need new grips. I don't really know how I'm supposed to fix this, if there is a way or if...
