chalk

Hello - my daughter attended the UCLA camp this summer and REALLY loves their chalk used. Of course, she told me this AFTER we had left. I have emailed staff to find out what brand of chalk they use, but responses have been minimal to none. I know it's not on their priority list - but all I...

*Posting anon because this might be a bit controversial* Does anyone know why Chalk Warrior is so popular? It seems to be crazy popular on Instagram, from the mom-managed Level 3 accounts to teenage college recruitment accounts. However, they just seem like very overpriced leotards to me...

Hi We don't have our own gym, so we're practicing in a regular gym in a school. One problem we have is that it takes forever to get rid of the chalk after bar practice, especially since there is no mop that we can use. We have to buy something to avoid having to clean the whole area with...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if some coaches, gym owners, etc. might be willing to weigh in on an important but mundane topic--vacuums! What vacuums do a good job with chalk without immediately having the filter clogged so the vacuum stops functioning after just vacuuming a floor or a runway...

I've been reading some of the latest research about how COVID can be spread through air conditioning. I've read that "good air circulation" is a good thing when it comes to reducing the spread of COVID, so I think the air conditioning problem comes from when the air is recirculated and...

Hello. I am new here on chalk bucket. I love gymnastics. I am an adult gymnast that started gymnastics incredibly late (Unfortunately) but I am happy to at least be training/competing WAG level 6 in Australia at the moment. I also coach a bit of recreation gymnastics. I love gymnastics but feel...

Question At what age/level is it a good time to make a Chalk Warrior account for your daughter? Was told I need to start thinking about getting one.

got to compete a full meet , I love time hop and noticed that a year ago she was in the hospital for a post chemo infection and today she got 4th on bars at her meet :) Other events well not as good but she was able to get out and compete!

I just saw this Chalk Warrior post on Instagram (see the attachment). If it’s accurate it is a pretty major warning to all the kiddos (or should I say parents) who are accepting merch in exchange for promoting said merch. Good on Chalk Warrior for checking into it and looking out for the...

Is there some kind of new rule banning chalk use on beam? If so, is it regional? National? And if so, what's the thinking behind it?

kind of cool :). https://www.chalkwarrior.com/single-post/2017/07/12/USA-Gymnastics-Regions-Ranked

I would love to see more positive threads on here. It seems that many of the posts are about bad news, unhappy situations, or injuries......... Like our nightly news........ I would like to share that I am HAPPY to have survived the big move over the last 7 months. My DD went from summer...

Hope this is okay, but Lauren (many of you know her from MSO) has departed MSO and started her own gymnastics news / athlete bio page. I am hoping the mods won't have a problem with this since it's an info source. Lauren will be continuing her love for the sport by highlighting gymnasts...

Getting Brain surgery :( she has a tumor that everyone has been so surprised that she was able to do bean and other gymnastics , Makes me see how much more amazing she is (I already thought she was)

Is now old enough to compete this year level 4 yikes

so dd has been called puddles from the owner/coach since she started team and she's only 9. her hands and feet are a sweaty mess - she has been known to leave puddles behind on mats from her feet and hands. she uses a ton of chalk. at her mobility meet in august she slipped on the vault...

Is there two types of chalk? One being a more soft, crumbling chalk and one a more firm block. We have had gymnasts complaining that the chalk is 'soft' and it is harder to grip the bar. We buy all the chalk from the same supplier and often will be a hard and soft block in the same bulk purchase.

Not sure if this is a stupid question but could someone please explain the abbreviations used on chalk bucket. As a new member I'm finding it difficult to understand them.

Hi friends! Long time no talk. You may (or may not. probably not.) remember me from my tenure on this lovely forum four or so years ago. Username Kayleigh, slightly obnoxious teenager. Well... the years have passed, I no longer have access to that old account, and I'm back - not just here but...
