My friend entered a contest for national gymnastics week. It's a contest where you had to create a short video, under three minutes, demonstrating why you love gymnastics. Now that all the videos are up it is time to vote. To vote you must "Like" the video on YouTube. I hope you could help her...

Look at the majority of todays beam routines. Most of the choreography is something like step pose step step pose ect. There isn't much to it. There is no "real" dancing in most beam choreography. Does anybody else notice this or is it just me? Would it be wierd to get up and dance on the beam...

Does anybody have any good warm up or cool down games that they play with there recreational classes? I'm looking for something new to play with my gymnasts. My gymnasts are ages 5-9. Thanks.

I've never been to a camp but was thinking about asking for the same thing. There's Woodward, FlipFest, National Gymnastics Training Camp (New York), GymRep and the University Camps. Just google them and you'll find their websites. What did you think of Karolyi Camp when you went?

I'm sure there must be something. It's asked in this coaching workbook that I got at the first coaching course I did.

I was wondering what some fun games, challenges or activities I could do to help develop flexibility in a recreational class. Usually we just sit in a circle and stretch but I was hopeing that I could come up with something new and more interesting for the group. If you have any activities could...

This year I started coaching/assisting. I have one girl that refuses to roll off of the low bar. (That's about the best I can describe it, that's what we call it. Sorry if you don't know what I'm talking about.) She is too scared. What kind of drills can I do to get her to do it? Recently she...

I am in need of a new pair of grips again, and am planing on trying a new brand. The brand I'm currently using doesn't seem to last very long, about 6 months. My coach had recommened them, but now says that I should try a different one. I prefer thicker grips, that take longer to break in, but...

Sorry the video didn't work, here's the link: YouTube - Weak in the Knees _ Gymnastics Montage

Could anybody tell me the name of the skill preformed at 1:40 in this video (when she goes from the HB to the LB) YouTube - Weak in the Knees _ Gymnastics Montage What are some drills for this skill? How would you start learning it?

Kind of only she starts fliping before rolling over. My version the positions are a lot more defined, you don't tuck until you stomach is faceing the ground, she is tucked before she lets go of the bar. Here you would almost pause between your "log roll" and your flipping.

I guess I am going to vote for myself too. In the original theard I though we couldn't vote for ourselves, so that was changed right. Is doen't really matter though seeing as it would only be a difference of 4 votes from the total.

So you swing like in a giant, or a normal fly away. Then you let go, when you let go your back is to the ground, like in a normal flyaway. Then you twist (roll over) so that your stomach is to the ground. Then you initiate your rotation and preform the salto part. I hope you understand this...

Please Help! I neee an idea for a halloween costume within the next few hours so that I can get it ready to wear to school tomorrow. If you have anything please help. If I don't come up with a good idea I might just by a gymnast. Is there anything gymnasticsy that I could be? Thanks for your help.

I think that your skill has to have been invented by yourself, so It can't have been preformed before. Could somebody please confirm this. Thanks

Okay, here's mine (I don't have a video or any pictures so I will have to describe it): Arabian Flyaway (on bars): -cast down like you would for a normal flyaway -swing to horizontal (again like a normal flyaway) -let go of the bar -imediantly roll over so that your stomach and face it to the...

Congrats Laura!

I had to laugh when I read this story, it's kind of sad (not upset sad, but sad.), but defenitaly something you wouldn't expect to see at a competition. The picture below will make more sense once you read the story. I copied it off of the alberta gymnastics website. Home - Edmontonian grabs...

Here's a link to the club of one of the girls competing from Canada. The first part is in english, but the rest is in french. The french part is a lot more detailed, and talks more about what isn't so good. (You can always copy and paste in it to a translator, like google translate to read it in...
