Chances are you're not high enough. I know a girl who can make her aerial but the tip of her head brushes the ground. The only reason she doesn't crash is because shes driving around so fast. What you need to do is work on push up off your front leg and going up instead of diving to the ground

When I was 9 I got hurt at a meet. I had to take a month off and when I came back I lost a few skills and was scared of a lot of things. My coach decided to compete me at the meet the next day, when I got hurt again and scored horribly. I decided to quit, and when I was 12 I realized I missed it...

Although there are tons of posts about rips, I've heard lots of different suggestions and I just don't know what to do. I do wear grips, but I rip around them. Currently I have 4 rips, 2 of which are new from today. I have 3 days till my next meet. I don't know if I should let everything dry...

Well, I am very well known at my gym for my falling abilities. One time, I was doing whips on trampoline for fun, and managed to flip under myself onto my stomach, shoot off the edge of the trampoline, over a barrel, down the stairs (still on my stomach) with a grand finale of the barrel rolling...

Hi everyone! This is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right. Anyway, I used to compete level 8, then I quit for 5 years, and now I do competitive school gymnastics. I've lost most of my skills. I haven't lost my front handspring vault, but today, I had a huge block. I physically know I can...

My best score is a 9.8 (out of ten) and my worst is...brace yourself...4.9! I know it's ridiculous. I was tired, sore, and healing a broken foot, not that that's any excuse. Fell off beam 4 times
