I reaaaally want to go to Flip Fest this summer, but i don't know if my parents will let me :( I live in the Uk so with the cost of plane tickets it would be super expensive!
Anyone seen this young gymnast: 09 Japan Nationals EF BB Murakami Mai
A little wobbly but look at those skills :eek:
and how about floor, shes got a nice double layout and double double going.. 09 Japan Nationals EF FX Murakami Mai
AND, shes 14 now so she'll be eligible for 2012 :rolleyes:
I completely understand what you mean, you start nailing a new skill at the end of one practice then you can't stop worrying about forgetting it before the next practice!! :p
I make youtube videos for my sister for every competition, then she can watch them and remember the competitions. She also likes watching them to see her mistakes, that way she know what to improve on for the next meet :)
Since we are talking about beginner/intermediate recreational girls, i don't think you need to be 'drilling the crap out of them.' Do things that are fun! On floor, you could do things like putting them into groups to make up routines with the moves that they know to show to the rest of the...
You should be proud! Getting to level 9 is a fantastic achievement in itself, and you did a great job on floor!! (everyone here seems to be doing well on floor :p ) Keep training hard and keep up posted ;)
:D Been following them on youtube for a long time and I absolutely LOVE them!
Actually, one of them; Aasha, used to go to my sister's gym, I remember watching her when she was five or six and thinking, 'WOW! She's gonna be great someday!' and look where she is now! :rolleyes:
But I love...

Good luck and hey, maybe you could tell me if it works :D
Raluca Haidu - young and upcoming Romanian gymnast, won 1st AA at Romanian Internationals this year. She has beautiful lines and is very elegant, she is beautiful on bars. There was a documentary on her from when she was younger its called 'secrets of deva' its a really sad but inspiring story...
Best: Handstand walking/handstand hold/anything with handstands :D also sit ups, i could do them all day!
Worst: Shuttle runs, just because i suck at running, and chin ups :mad:

hope that helped a bit :)
I was wondering how often you get new routines. I guess this kind of only applies to optional girls, but i live in England and the levels and grades don't have compulsory routines, only compulsory moves...
At my gym we have to make up our own routines. They give us a list of moves to pick...
