my best is 9.775 and my worst was 7.7 when I fell off beam twice. oh that's out of ten btw

I have a pretty dumb one. I was doing a drill for bhs step out that involved jumping to my back to a round thing on top of a resi. Well, somehow I jumped extra hard and flew over the entire set up and into the bars behind me, where I proceeded to roll into a group of our optionals waiting to go...

When I do a lot of backwalkovers on beam, like 20 minutes or so, my lower back starts to hurt. I've heard that I shouldn't be using my lower back to do the skill, so what can I focus on to avoid making it hurt? Could this actually be some sort of injury that I need to see a doctor for, or is it...

I'm a lefty for gym but right handed. Lately I've been having issues with my twist direction though. I thought everything twisted left for me but I realized I jump full turn right, and yesterday I did a front half and was like whoa. I just twisted right. It's super annoying because I'm not sure...

1. School 2. Gymnastics 3. Friends 4. Diving 5. Soccer

Is it the same sort of skill level as a nine year old girl in level 6?

My cousin is 9 years old and a level 6. I've heard from my relatives that he does very well at meets and wins many events. He lives in Texas, but went to a meet in California last weekend and has been to Las Vegas and other places for meets. I haven't heard of many lower level girl gymnasts who...

I was there :) she was amazing!

Definitely vault... I feel like my nerves make me run faster and be more powerful. I actually hate starting on floor because I fall off a lot when beam is last. I think I put too much pressure on myself to get the score for my all around goal. so I'd rather start on vault, next is bars, then...

how long did you quit for? just curious

ours are a sort of rectangular duffle. I like them, they're pretty cool but you definitely need the name on it! half the time I end up going through someone else's bag because the name is pretty small on ours. also I think all levels should have the same bag, you don't want them to have to buy a...

OMG I do the exact same thing in my backhandspring! and for some reason I have like a mental block against putting my feet together... it makes me freak out. but I'm 5'8"! its lucky I'm basically done growing! and by the way, if you're 5'2" you don't get to complain about being tall. that's...

I've gone to Woodward west for 2 summers and if the PA one is the same, it'll be the most fun thing ever! I love love love love LOVE Woodward. Seriously. Best two weeks of my life. And honestly, I was 13 when I went and we didn't really have anything to do with the skateboarders, more the guy...

dunno, you're not being nice at all! hublaur was just asking for help getting over her fears and you lectured her about how there was no point in even doing gymnastics! Everyone should get a chance to participate no matter their age or natural talent! This seems so unfair because I started team...

I am so annoyed right now I can't believe I did this! it's THREE DAYS before states and I went to soccer practice because I've never gotten hurt there before and this girl kicks me really hard in the calf. (by accident of course). but I can't even walk right now! I think it'll be better by...
