Hi all! I was wondering if any of you had worked at Woodward West, in any position. I am thinking about coaching for a couple of sessions.
P.S. I tried to find a post about this but couldn't find anything. If there already is a post about this I apologize, please link me!
Hey guys! I haven't posted in a while and didn't see any on this, so hopefully it hasn't been posted already! I was watching tv and saw a commercial for Pro Activ, and Just Spring was on it! The weird thing though is that only his first name was showed, and it didn't really seem as he was...
Hello!
I'm doing swim team this year for high school, and unfortunetly due to budget cuts it has to be in the morning far away. That means we have to get up at 4:30 in the morning, have swim at 5:20, gets out at 6:30, leave asap and get to school by 7:05 and find a parking spot (which is near...
Sorry if this has been posted! I'm watching the us national championships right now, and Alicia Sacramone has decided to come back from retirement, mainly focusing on vault and beam, and if her body feels good, floor too. Sorry again if this has been already posted, but I'm so excited she is...
Hello!
There is a new sneak pick of Make it Or Break it (sorry if someone has already posted this I didn't see a super recent post). I'm really upset about what they are portraying gymnastics as. First of all the girls do not look anything like gymnasts, and even running they look... odd...
Hello!
I've been working on a transistion from the high bar to low bar/release move, it's called something like the sole circle release move. I prefer to call it the squirrel move :] It reminds me of a flying squirrel, or something like that hahaah. If you are hanging on the high bar facing the...
Hello :]
Sorry if there was a forum on this, I searched it but I could have missed it. I was wondering what people thought of the Parkettes documentary. I liked it, I thought it was thorough and nicely done, providing more information than just the elites.
However, I felt really bad for the...
Hello,
About a month ago I'd say, maybe a little bit more, a friend of mine had a very bad accident. She was snowboarding with some of her friends that go to my school, and they all dared her to go off a jump. She did. Sound bad? She took a tumble, and hit her head on the way down pretty hard...
Hello!
Today I was watching the meet Utah vs. Brigham cougars. I was watching a girl [possibly could have been from Canada?] competeting for the cougars and she was wearing a 3 fingered grips. I didn't know they made those for girls, and I thought you weren't supposed to use those on the...
Hello!
The other day I was watching the gymdogs vs. UCLA. On beam they did a close up on a gymnast who was standing on the beam, and with one foot she rolled her toes under her foot, like cracking her toes. I hope that made sense.. haha. But the commentator said, "You always can tell a gymnast...
Hello!
I wanted to make an interesting note. I didn't always love the grace, and dancey stuff in the routines, a lot of times I thought it was boring, but it has grown on me now. I was thinking about the dance in the compulsery routines, and wondering how much dance stuff they will put in the...
Hello, I just got my second pair of grips, buckle grips. I haven't tried them out on the bars a lot. My problem is, one of the finger holes is too big, and the other one I got to fit right. When I jump to grab the bar the one finger slips out. I've heard of sticking pit foam in, but I'm not sure...
Hello!
I need some advice. Over the summer and a little into the fall I had a hugeeee mind block with backhandsprings, thankfully I got over it. Lately I've been doing backhandsprings with a spot on a low beam, and yesterday I got up there, and I just blanked. It wasn't like i was shaking with...

Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to do a standing back tuck full and landing straight up. I know that Shawn got deducted for bending over, but looking at other videos, it looks quite hard to actually landing it straight up. Besides seeing videos on the tramp, I have not seen a standing...
Hi everybody!
I one day would like to open a gym. Seriously. I already have floor plans, conditioning books, plans to help me make money, etc. Yes I'm only 15 :D Anyways, I'm having a hard time deciding what my team colors should be. I love having red and black or red and white, because you can...
Hello!
I can do a front flyaway, but I was wondering what are some of the ways you can get into it. I know you can do a front giant into it, but are there any other ways?
