So how does one get their motivation to back to the gym when your gymnast has stated 1- all of her "good" friends have left. She has friends and she says no one hates her but there is no one to talk to at the gym. It's true. All of her good friends have either quit or moved states. She is...

What are considered "dance" moves on the beam and floor. Level 7 can now have (since sometime last competition season) have one C dance element on the floor and beam. What counts? What have you seen in competition or did you see any c skills in level 7?

Just curious about what a drill my DD is doing helps/leads to. A bit of back ground...she's hoping to go L8 come December and is still nursing a sprained knee. She has also flipped a tsuk into the pit already and has done some Yurchenko drills. So this is what she was working on during a vault...

Did anyone watch the NCAA Championships last night? It was on ESPN 3 live. It was a fantastic meet! It came down to the very last gymnast for Florida. They beat Utah by 0.05 of a point! Too bad there weren't more people in attendance to actually SEE the excellent gymnastics happening. More...

DD gym doesn't do anything really. No sign or announcement. The gym DD did a camp at this summer had banners for everyone who received a scholarship (or made it to state/regionals/nationals). How does your gym do it?

Congratulations! I had fun watching some of it on YoutTube. Amazing athletes. Bonus- DD HC won :)

Do see an improvement in a gymnasts FHS vault once they start training for the tsuk or Yurchenko? It seems that now that DD is training both tsuk and Yurchenko vaults her FHS vault is also becoming a lot better. Now that she has started flipping her tsuk into the pit over the vault that her...

So how exactly does one qualify to the T&T Nationals that are being held next week? Is there a petition process for injuries? What if you had a very good showing in other large meets such as the US Elite Challenge? Does that make any difference?

So DD came home from practice yesterday and told me very excitedly that she did Yurchenko drills today and I didn't DIE! She really needs a different phrase :confused: So how does your gymnast describe or think about how skills they do successfully or not o_O? Do they think things like OMG I...

As an offshoot of anonymity- have you seen your dd in someone else's video or in a random picture? DD and I were looking some skill up. Don't even remember what it was and we found a YouTube video from a meet we had gone to and there in the background was DD. It was the oddest thing. I am...

If you live in Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Alaska or Hawaii, come join us. You must have posted 30 times to join. Send me a message or post here and I will send an invite!

Go Yuliya Brown! At 39 years old she is in first place for the Senior Elite women and if you were to combine the juniors and the seniors she would be 2nd. She is amazing! Good luck tomorrow in the finals!

Does anyone know if this will be streamed or shown on tv somewhere? Would love to watch it.

The Idaho State website states that Region 2 is toying with the idea of having an actually L7 regional next year instead of an invitational. Does anyone out there know if this is going to happen or at least the time frame for letting the states know this is happening?

My DD has developed a rash right where her Cheetah hill cup goes. She has been wearing them for about 4 months now with no problems then last night it is all red and bumpy. I told her to give it a break for a couple of days to see if it goes aways and we will wash the old one and her new one...

Which regions have a level 7 regional where the girls have to qualify in some way to go? I can tell from a previous post that region 8 does. Region two has an invitational that is open to all L7 but is contemplating a "real" regional next year? What do the rest of the regions do?

Our girls are going to the region 2 level 7 invitational meet. Has anyone been before or to one in there region? What is it like, pretty intense, laid back? We've never been before so just curious. We should at least see some teams we haven't seen before but not sure since those teams would...

Now that the season is winding down for most of us I was wondering what new skills your DD or DS is looking forward to learning next? Mine is looking forward to learning some twisting on the floor and a new vault! I am not sure I am read for a new vault though :confused:

Not that I have to worry about it yet but I was trying to figure out how L8s in region 2 qualify to regionals. The only information I can find is that it will be a percentage of the total of L8 then 66% of that. How do you know the percentage for your state? Does each state get a different...

Now that the first season with the new levels/skills is just about over, I was wondering what people think. What did you notice with the new compulsory routines? Harder, easier, tough judging, went well ect. In the optionals did the new level 6 help or hinder? What did you see at meets? Did...
