    WAG Bar Release Moves

    Actually I did mean something else. There is no letter value in the JO Code of Points higher than an E. Most skills do have the same value in JO and FIG but not all. The OP is in a JO setting so I figured that I would try to clarify that.

    WAG rewarding the team with allergenic food

    I have to say, I have had food allergies all my life (dairy, egg, peanut, seafood, cranberry, mushroom and used to have soy as well) and have never made a group cater to my needs.

    What's yours or DD rec to team story?

    I have a kinda unique story and thought it was worth sharing. I did dance as a kid for 10 years starting at the age of 6. I never knew much about gymnastics, just that I was just the kid who could do cartwheels in the backyard. In 2008 I was watching Visa Championships and Olympic Trials and...

I ended up competing USAG level 4 and was quite successful (37.5). My teammates ranged from 6-10 other than me, and even...
