you could cheat a bit and do an x-tension roll! :D

Thank you so much! I will try to work on that. Also, Do you get deducted if you take off on the back of the springboard? My coach says we do but I am not sure.

I am just wondering if anyone can help me to see where I am getting deductions on my vault and how I can improve it. I seem to always score around the mid 12's and I would like to be able to get a 13 sometime! Any help would be appreciated! Here are videos from my 2 most recent meets: KSGF...

Just wanted to share! We had our home meet this weekend and I competed on friday afternoon. I hit all my events, had a personal best score on floor and met two of my goals for the season! Here's how I placed: Vault: 11.85 and 4th place (I couldn't find the right run the entire time.) bars: 11.7...

Horse wrap is a kind of bandage that sticks to itself and not the skin. Its slightly rough in texture, and is stretchy and allows normal movement, sort of like an ace bandage type thing. Here is a picture of it. I have seen it online (amazon and some vet sites) but I have also seen it at some...

I have used shock sox since last June and I love them! have had a problem with bruising my feet and they helped quite a bit. I went through one pair in about 6 months so they seem to last a while too. The gel part seems to slip a little when I over rotate or punch off the springboard on vault...

Do you mean knee pads that they use for volleyball? You should be able to go to any sports good store and they should have some. Any brand would do. At my old gym, girls used to use ice hockey elbow pads turned backwards on their heels which seemed to work really well. (like these)

I don't think getting there 10 mins late is that big of a deal. Just be as prepared before as you can (do hair and get changed in the car) and get through your warm up as fast as possible. I get to gym 30 mins late almost everyday and it really hasn't affected my gym at all. By the time I get...

you could use skin colored horse wrap to go over it. We get ours at a horse supply store for cheap and it costs about a dollar a roll. It's like tape except it sticks to itself and not the brace in case you are worried that it would be either too restricting based on the type of brace you have...

I'm not a morning person at all and lucky for me, my big away meet last year had a report time of 6:45 am and the venue was a good 30 min drive through traffic from our hotel so you can imagine how early that was. I believe I got up at 5 that morning and I get ready fast compared to some girls...

I live in the same province as hawaii_gymnast and I agree. Too cold! Yesterday morning we hit -51c with windchill/-34c without, and right now it's -30 without so it's warming up a bit. You know it's cold outside when the news is warning people that there is a chance of frost bite if you stay...

Just thought I'd say that I had the same problem as your DD last year but to the extent that I couldn't even do a standing back tuck anymore. Mine came from early twisting that came over from tramp as well as my previous coach refused to help me fix it and just said I was being "stupid" and...

One of the guys from my gym is at t&t worlds right now too! Strange to think I talk to a world gold and bronze medalist everyday!

Oh! Somehow I missed that! thank you!

Not sure If this is in the right place but I have a few questions about an illusion full on beam. First, If you are to step in front with the leg in the air, does the skill count as a half or a full? Also, are you allowed to touch the beam with one hand if you don't put support on it? Any...

I second the crazy glue. I do that all the time in the winter since its so dry here in the winter. I also use O'keeffes working hands cream at night and sleep with socks on. the cream is made for cracked hands and there's also one for feet. I get mine at bed bath & beyond. Ive had mine for years...

That was my first ever floor music! brings back good memories. :)

They reported that it's a dislocated right knee cap. Poor thing! better than an ACL tear though. One of My team mates dislocated and fractured her knee cap landing on floor the same type of way. She was competing within 5 months of the injury with most of her skills back. Hope Bross will have a...

I would say level 10 in the USA is pretty close to national here in canada.

I really like the look of the homepage! glad to see one of my photo's made it up too!
