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 :] 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! 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...
