has anyone ever been to/going to the Arkansas University Razorback Gymnastics Camp? I might go this summer as a 12 yr old level 5, and it would be my first camp. :) thx
my gyms says on the front 'only the tough can tumble at' then on the back our team name (in our case, 'richardson gymnastics')
an old one said 'hard work beats talent when talent isnt working hard'
Soccer players use shin guards to protect them. Volley ball players use knee pads to protect them. Football players use shoulder pads, helmets and numerous other pads to protect them. Gymnasts use nothing but their pride.
-my gym friend sent me this one time and i love it :)
Thanks bog and MdGym! I had a really good meet actually. I made both kips, and beam cartwheel, got 1st on all around, 1st on beam and vault and 2nd on bars AND got moved to a better division! (Sorry that was totally bragging...)
Hey! I'm requesting good luck for my meet tomorrow morning at 8:00 am (so early on a saturday...)
I have my floor and vault really good and the only thing i'm worried about on beam is a cartwheel. And i need tons of luck for bars, i have my low bar kip consistent and got my high bar kip this...
My favorite skill is- kips (but they dont look very good, arms are bent)
My favorite app is - floor
My Best skill is - level 5 dismount (side handstand twist thing... ha sry idk wat you call it)
My best app is - beam
My worst skill is - round off double bhs
My worst app is - bars- i get worst...
made high bar kip (finally!!)
i made my high bar kip two times today! My coach missed the first one but everyone was screaming so shes like "you made a high bar!" (i was still up there anyway...) i also got past my strange fear of back hipcircles on high bar :D today was a good bar day
i use neosporin at night (with a sock over my hand, which was mentioned before.) Actually, i need to try all these because i get the most rips out of my level and when i use tape grips, i rip them in half on the bar, like in the middle of a routine... yeah, apparently i grip too hard or...
kips... they took me FOREVER and my coach was dancing when i made them and took me to get ice cream in the middle of practice because i finally made them.
good luck! I'm a level 5, also, and i made my first competition kip last meet, so i'm sending all those fairies.
Hope she does great, qualifies, and has fun! :)
i'm in almost the same situation, i have my low bar but i'm really close to high bar also. (i havent made one yet though.) So good luck and tell us when you get it!
Congrats! It took me FOREVER AND EVER to get mine, i got it like two weeks ago. (My coach got me ice cream :D ) and i hope to get my high bar kip next week but this week i got my round off bhs bhs again (i lost it for like a month, it was weird)
Great job! i'm a level 5 (so far from yurchenkos...) but i FINALLY got my kip (oh gosh i've been working it forever) and good luck sticking it at the rest of your meets.
At a place that has bounce houses they have teen night and alot of people from my school go. The guys try and flip and majority of the time land on their back or but. i stick everything (it looks really funny, i've accidently saluted before). So i grab my legs in a tuck position in a front flip...
good luck to her! Also, bars is my hardest event. I still need my high bar kip (once i get it i'll have every skill, it is driving me crazy!) Extra good luck on a horizontal cast!
yeah, i messed up a round-off double bhs and my mom was telling me all these things i 'did wrong'. I'm like 'MOM! I know what i did! I could feel it and my coach told me!' she got it all wrong and it drives me crazy, too.
