I was reading the thread in the parent forum about team expenses and it really opened my eyes to how much my parents pay for me to do gymnastics. I really really want to help pay for it, but I'm only 14 and our gym isn't exactly around the corner, so working there isn't an option. What else can...

A friend of mine might have to go from competitive gymnastics back to rec classes. Has anyone else experienced this or know someone who has? What was it like going from several hours a week to an hour or so once a week? Sent from my iPod touch using ChalkBucket mobile app :)

So in March I fractured my left ankle by rolling it, then around 2.5 weeks ago I minor-ly sprained my right ankle in phys. ed by rolling it. It finally felt better today and I was on tumble track during practice and I rolled my right ankle again. My coach told me to do a lot of toe raises and...

Just curious, is anyone a USAIGC gymnast, I've seen many xcel posters, but no USAIGC. Is that more of a regional league? Also, has anyone heard about USAIGC adding a new level between silver and gold called steel? Sent from my iPod touch using ChalkBucket mobile app :)

Hey everyone :) Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I'm still a little new to posting....Has anyone bought the Olympian leotards from GK? (Ex: Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, Aly Raisman, or Gabby Douglas leotards) They are quite pricey especially since shipping is $9 just to buy in the US, and I...

I fractured my ankle while competing floor 3 weeks ago :( I've been out since then and my dr said it could take 4-6 weeks to heal, then physical therapy :( He said it's a hairline fracture and should take closer to 4 weeks to heal. Hopefully he's right and I'll be able to at least compete as an...

Why do some people say to shave down calluses? When I first heard of it I thought my teammate was joking. Shouldn't we be building up calluses?

My first meet that I've ever competed was yesterday! I was extremely excited, but also really nervous. I competed USAIGC bronze. ;) Our first event was vault: I went third- my first vault was just completely weird because my nerves got to me a little (it was the first event- understandable...

I finally got my Kip by myself- in competition! :D I did 2 during warm up and didn't make either, but my coach said that I just needed to glide a little further and I'd get it. I don't know how, but I guess something just sort of clicked because I got it! P.s. Should I write a meet report? It...

Hey everyone! Soo my first competition ever is next Saturday!  It's not that I'm new to the sport, but I'm new to competitions. [I did recreational gymnastics for around 9 years.....I have a different story than most ;) ] but anyway, what are things I should bring to the competition? (besides...

does anyone know any good poses for beam? I already have a fish pose, but I need one more. All suggestions are appreciated ;)

Hey everyone...so I have thick layered hair that's a little past my shoulders, I usually put it in a high ponytail, braid it, then twist it into a bun and that usually stays pretty well during practice, do you guys have any other ideas? I'd put it in a regular ponytail, but my hair frizzes A...

I've been working on my glide kip for probably a year (with a short break or two because of injury) and I still haven't gotten it. I can do it with a spotter and I almost have it by myself, my problem is getting myself onto the bar. I know the key to everything is just practicing, but...
