    WAG It's that time of year again...(science fair)

    So it is time once again to turn in my science fair proposal. Last time I got some great help and advice from you guys (thanks!) and I was hoping for some more help :) I have an idea of what I want to do, but no clue how to go about doing it or if it is even realistic. It is common knowledge...

    Geralen Stack-Eaton floor

    Hi, I am in the process of looking for new floor music for next year and I came across Geralen Stack-Eaton's floor routine from this year. I absolutely love her music, but I know that many college gymnasts, especially from more successful teams, have their music custom made for them. I will...

    X-rays

    I went in today for an x-ray to see if I have a stress fracture in my back, but I've been hearing from a few different people, including one of my teammates who has two stress fractures in her back, that stress fractures do not usually show up on x-rays, and that bone scans are sometimes needed...

    Finally going to the chiropractor!

    I have been having some lower back pain during gymnastics for the past 6 months or so, and I finally nagged my mother enough to have her call a chiropractor and I have an appointment on Monday! ;) I'm excited because he is/has been working with my friend who has a stress fracture in her back...

    Pits at your gym?

    This is in response to another post about whether having pits affects your ability to do gymnastics at a high level. The poll is basically whether your gym has a pit or not. Feel free to expand below (like whether you didn't have a pit but now you do, or whatever else you want to post :D)

    Ashley Priess floor music

    My friend from gymnastics trying to find Ashley Priess's floor music from 2010. She is from Alabama University and you can see it here (I hope): YouTube - Ashley Priess FX 2010 vs Georgia I have no idea if I did that right, but I hope I did. I searched to see if there had already been someone...

    trouble with 3/2 on floor

    This is mostly a question for coaches, but others are welcome to answer if they can help. I have been working on my 3/2 for a few weeks and I can make it all the way around, but my coaches say that I am looking where I would look for a full, not a 3/2. So my feet are facing forward, but I am...

    Regions

    I know that there are different regions for regionals, etc. but I was wondering how the regions are divided. For example, Region 1 includes ________ and _______ states, region 2 includes, etc. Thanks

    WOGA Summer Camp?

    Have any of you (or your children/gymnasts) ever gone to this camp? I was looking at it because it costs just about the same amount as the college camp that is nearby. However, I could not find much info about it. If you/ your gymnast went, did you/they enjoy it? Would they go again...

    Gymnastics and Physics

    I am doing my science fair project on why ro bhs back layouts take longer and rotate more slowly than ro bhs back tucks. I know that someone (I believe that it was TumblerK, but I'm not sure) wrote a thread about the physics in gymnastics. I am not just looking for answers for a project, but I...

    Preventing rips

    I have a meet this weekend and my hand looks like it is about to rip. Is there anything I can do to keep it from ripping, at least until after Saturday, or should I just let it rip, and focus on letting it heal. I can't really not do bars because our coaches don't let us skip bars unless we...

    Off Topic Girls Only!

    Ok, this is really kind of embarrassing:o, but I just got my period for the first time and I don't know what to do about gymnastics. I am not comfortable using tampons but I don't want it to be obvious that I'm wearing a pad. What would you suggest? What have you girls done before you got...

    Hours

    I know, I know, there are like a bajillion threads on gym hours, but I'm kind of confused. As a L5, I went for 2, 2 hour practices, and 1, 2 hour practice that was just strength, conditioning, and dance (we call it tops, but not the real tops:p). So I was only at the gym for 6 hours a week...

    Question about Concussion?

    To make a long story short, at gymnastics on Thursday I was accidentally kicked in the head (really hard:(), and I started getting dizzy and a really bad headache. I went to the nurse's office at my school on Friday, told that I most likely had a concussion. My mom called the doctor's office...

    3/4 giants

    I am in L6, and we do baby giants (also called 3/4 giants or giant timers). I get a lot of height in my cast, and have fairly good form, but I can't seem to flip my wrists to keep the skill moving, and not lose the connection to the swings. My coach says that it is because I have too much...

    Backwalkovers on Beam!!!

    I am sooooooooooooooo scared of balkwalkovers on balance beam! I worry about them to the point that I feel sick to my stomach when we go to beam. I have gotten better though, since last summer when I first got the mental block. What I did then, was I would just stand on the beam, and not go for...
