I've gone to my gym for 5 years, and am level 8, which is the highest level at the gym. I'm thinking about switching, but it would be so hard because I've been there for so long. There's only about 12 people on the team, and I'm afraid that if I leave, others might too. I want to go to a gym...
Other options
I'm a level 8 and I've had going backwards fear issues since level 6. I do bwo (w/switch legs on top) swing through round off. I've also competed front walk front hand and carwheel front hand.
I was doing a suke on vault for the first time actually flipping it. I did the entry right and then i guess i stopped halfway through the flip and was going to land on my head, so my coach made sure i landed on my back but my knees were still trying to flip and i kneed myself in the face. I...
I'm a gymnast, and drive about 45 minutes each way to get to my gym. How far do you drive your kids? How long have you driven them that far? We carpool with my friend who drives me, so they only have to drive out 20 minutes to drop me off and pick me up. Just curious to whether my parents should...
some things that helped me were...
1. If you have a trampoline, have the gymnast do a handstand on it, fall over with legs still pointed to the ceiling while on their back, then bound back up to handstand and go over to bounce their feet on the tramp and do it again continuously. ALot of...
Karolyi camp was soooo much fun. Every night they had a different event like fashion show or lake night. they have this huge pool and all these floaty things haha. And the counselors and coaches were awesome. We also did dance for one of our classes and then at the end we'd all perform it. I've...

Since level 6 I've had an on and off fear of going backwards. I'm a level 8 now, and am tired of not being able to do skills i could do by myself 2 years ago. I'll do RO BHS Back Layouts and twists on the tumble track, but only on floor if my coach stands there or i have a four inch mat to land...
Yup yup. Same thing happened two or three times to me. Both times i just took it slow to try not to push it too hard. It felt like my body didn't know how to go backwards. And it was weird because I'd been doing them for so long. Just relax and don't let your mind tell you anything, just chuck...
