Thanks for the honesty, I did really rush when I made it, it's really hard to get my little brother to film for me so that's why I did it off different things. (so I he wouldn't get bored and go in the house.) your right though, now that I look at it, it is pretty sucky. I made this tutorial...

How to do a backflip - YouTube Hey guys I just put this up yesterday, I'm pretty new to tutorial making so let me know what you think. I should probably be watching your tutorials instead though since I'm just an open-gym gymnast. lol

Thanks JBS

I don't know if there's a lot of people on here that want to learn the muscle up, but if there is here's my tutorial YouTube - How to do the muscle up on Rings and Bar It's my first tutorial... Hopefully it's not too bad.

Hey Matthew, I think working at a gym is a good idea. As soon as I get my drivers license, I'm gonna try work at one. Maybe then I can learn some real gymnastics.

I'm super tall for gymnastics almost 6-5, but I like it a lot. Being taller makes it harder... but it also makes you stand out more and is kinda cool in its own way.

I go to this gym called What's up gymnastics. I only go to open tumbling though. The coach there is is cool, he lets me try other things like rings, rope climbing and the foam pit.

Thanks for the answer. Do guys wait to compete untill they are 17-18 because they aren't strong enough for some of the moves until then? That would explane why the younger gymnasts look so much skinnier than the older ones.

I remember when I was watching the olympics, they were saying Nastia will probably be to old to compete next time. But I've seen guys compete in their late thirtys.

Aw that sucks. There's a gym on my Island that has adult gymnast classes, maybe that would be a better one to work at.

I don't think my hips pop when I do the splits, but they feel stiff at first and kinda sore. When I lift my legs to the side and in other directions I feel it pop though.

No, I didn't go to one. The Dr. told me to do leg lifts in all directions though.

They wouldn't let you go to the gym when your not working? Was it cause you were over 18? The gym I go to lets adults use the gym, not for gymnastics classes, but for open tumble and cheerleading though.

Thanks for all the replys. When I went to the Dr. He said to strengthen my hips, he didn't take x-rays or anything, but maybe I should try harder to make them strong.

Thanks for the info. I already have gone to the docters for hip popping and paine. He said I need to strengthen my hips. The way all my hip problems started was when I was at the beach one day, and a big wave crunched my back into a U and it hurt my hip too... that was befor I started...

Hey, I have some problem with my hips. The first one is, sometimes after I do something where my legs swing far apart my left hip feels and starts beating... like a heart beat in my hip. And then I have clicking in my hips and I can feel pop in to place sometimes. Also, I'm trying to learn...

That might be my best bet. Your a coach right, do you get to do stuff around the gym when you aren't working?

Hi, I'm good. I'm 18. I don't really want to be a cheerleader. I actually do go to a gym now but I've only went twice, it's just open tumble, I don't learn anything else like rings, bars or pommel though. When I did go, the coach asked if I've ever done gymnastics and said I could have gone far...

I really like gymnastics, it's my favorite thing and all I think about lol, but it seems like it's only for people with a lot of money. I just got finished with school and want to get a job at a gym so I can atleast be around gymnastics and learn some things too. Do you guys have any ideas on...

Little update. Ever since I posted that video my flares got junker. But tonight was the secound time I went to a gym, and after I was warmed up I started trying them. I did my best one ever... still didn't do a complete one, but it gives me hope again. I always start it with two hands now too...
