    WAG Ankles hurting!

    I think I can offer a unique perspective on this. I'm a coach and do gymnastics recreationally (3 hours a week) as well as long jump (track and field, 2 hours a week).

    Help! Standing Back Tucks!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvr1BE1ohNQ I don't have a video on floor yet, I'll get one next time. This isn't all that current, there's a lot of lean in my set but I can correct that without too much difficulty off the block, it's floor that is the problem.
