So who all is planning on making the trip down to Knoxville, Tn for the Flip Fest Invitational at the beginning of the year?
My old coach was talking to me about it and said it is supposed to be a really big meet this year!
Okay so I've been trying to overcome a fear of having to do a certain dive that I have to finally do in the next month and have been kind of putting aside the fact that I'm actually extremley frightened to do it.
I've learned so much since starting gymnastics and diving and I have been scared...
Okay I know Father's Day isn't till Sunday, but it is already wedensday and I am leaving for diving regionals tommorrow at about 6am and won't return until early sunday. The problem is my dad is going to come and watch me compete (which I am thrilled about!), but because of this I can't really...
Hey everyone,
I was recently in a car accident about 3 weeks ago. Since the accident I have been getting extremley dizzy and have been blacking out quite a bit. I will just be laying down and all of a sudden the room will start spinning and I will turn over and hold my head just to deal with...

I know it's...
I was just wondering how many hours everyone trains a week and what level everyone is.
When I was a level 10 I trained 4 hours a day 5 days a week (because of diving but the gym trains 6 days a week).

I am still 16 so I compete at the junior level, but in diving at that age your aloud to compete as a senior diver as long as...
Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone is competing there this weekend. I went to the competition all day yesterday because my old gym is hosting it, it's a great meet and seemed to be running pretty smoothly. If anyone wants to post scores you can do it here!
Hi everyone, i'm sorry to ask for advice but I am struggling with a pretty on going back injury right now.
I hurt my back two years ago doing a skill on beam at the gym (sheep jump, then made it worse by doing my series with an onodi in it), and I was out 8 weeks (had an Anyalar tear...
Hey everyone,

My name is Tori and I am 16 years old from Tennessee and did gymnastics for 13 years of my life. I went through many injuries (3 surgeries) during gymnastics and after being out for a year I...
