How did you arrive at the ChalkBucket?

[kristilyn73]

Beetle was struggling with her BHS on High beam. After 2 years of doing them consistently one day she just stopped.

I dont know exactly what I googled but I think it was gymnastics message board.

This is what came up = and THANK GOODNESS!!

This is a fun thread!
I googled TOPs this past spring when we were told that Caitlyn was chosen to test for it at regionals. I'm glad that I decided to lurk for a while because I quickly decided it'd be a site worth reading. I told hubby about it while still in lurkdom. He quickly became a member, and that motivated me to join, too.

I think I just googled gymnastics message boards and it came up. I honestly don't remember the moment, but that's how I usually discover things.

I posted on a Sports & Kids board at iVillage and someone e-mailed me telling me about this board. Can't thank them enough

I think it was an ad on Facebook that led me here. My eyes usually just slide past the ads but this one caught my eye. I believe I lurked for ~2 minutes before I joined. Chalk bucket was just the procrastination tool I needed for the second semester of my junior year...

Such shameless advertising eh? That board drives me a bit scatty at times!

I searched gymnastics forums, found Gymbrooke and the CB, and now look where I am.

Bog: I know what you mean I don't like all the guest posts on the other board. If you are going to say something they have an ID! But I am grateful you mentioned the CB!

I was actually looking for a gymnastics message board lol

Same here. We changed internet providers our old provider had a gym message board that I loved but you had to be one of their clients to access it so I did a search and this was one of the boards that popped up and I'm SOOOOOO glad it did what a great place to come and get the support and advice, and new internet friends who don't think we are crazy for being a gym family.

I was doing a search looking for more information about gymnastics when they wanted to move my DD off pre-team (4hrs/wk) and onto L4(10.5 hr/wk) when she was about to turn 6. Not knowing anything about gymnastics of course I was trying to make a good parental decision, LOL, and needed some advise. I stubbled upon a group (Yahoo I think) called GYMNASTICSNOT (I think) and it was a nice little forum I was on for a couple months that suddenly just closed without warning one day. I thought maybe if I searched I would re-find it again....found Chalk Bucket and loved it because it had so much information and there were so many parent just like me! Now I enjoy coming here not just for info, but to try to share with others my experiences in L4. I also feel like this is MY gymnastics team and really enjoy hearing about YOUR gymmies & all the experiences you share with me! Whenever I have a thought or question about gymnastics, I know I can come here and usually find others that either understand, or it's been already discussed in a thread for me to read!

So funny Cathiann...I used to be a CL at ivillage for many years! It was the June 1998 board that then got blended into the Jan-June 98 board. Shortly after that being mom of three and working more hours I had to resign but still have many friends over there.

Sorry, posted twice, see post below. Thanks

 

[gymluvr33]

I was having some fear issues and was thinking about switching to prep-opt. So I did a google search and guess which site came up

 

[Optionals United]

Just like 2 other posters I was looking for quotes and came across the CB. Found some good quotes and didn;t think anything of it. Then sometime later I searched something else, CB came up. I lurked for about a month and then joined.

 

[momofthreegirls]

I googled "hairstyles for a gymnastics meet" two years ago when DD had her first "mock" meet, and I found this great place.

 

[lilgymmie7]

A friend mentioned that I would like it, so I tried it. At first, I wasn't so sure if it was for me. But after reminding myself that all is well if I keep an open mind, I realized I really do love to talk gymnastics. The members here are all so level headed. Coming from a gym with my older DD that had very opinionated parents, CB is a breath of fresth air!!

 

[Jennemmy]

My youngest was balking before practice and I was trying to find the Doc Ali website to see her advice. She had been a part of our team parent clinic the summer before. Of course, I was looking for www.headgames.com not.ws! Google put CB's Doc Ali's parent tips right at the top of the search page.

I was on a quest for gymnastics info when my daughter's coaches suggested more training hours. So I googled gymnastics message boards, and here we are!

I posted a few times initially, and then sporadically over the next couple of years. I've really only been a truly active community member since this past summer when I had to take time off work.

I can't tell you how much this place means to me, and how eager I am to celebrate the accomplishments of all of these talented and hard working kids!

I believe I originally came across CB in a Google search, but wasn't sure about becoming a member. Then a wonderful online friend, Canadiangymmom, whom I "met" through Youtube suggested I join. She had become someone I trusted about gymnastics advice and life in general, even though we had never met. I am truly thankful for her advice and miss her dearly, but enjoy all the advice and stories here at CB.

I decided to try a local gym's adult program and Googled gymnastics to try and find some info about the sport and others involved with adult gymnastics. I'm learning so much!

 

[cher062]

Oh My that was awhile ago!! I don't even remember but I think it came up on a search for somehthing else.

 

[Blazing15]

I was searching for gymnastics questions and the CB popped up and I browsed a little before signing up then decided to sign up.

 

[AlexsGymmyMom]

Google! I had questions and CB had all the answers I was looking for! This place is the best resource for information about gymnastics and the people here always have answers.
