Towards the end of September I broke the middle bone in my hand (directly under the middle knuckle) tumbling. I was doing a round off back handspring (easy for me) and according to the doctor and my coach, my fingers bent causing too much force which made my hand break. Well no 8 weeks later, I...
boy can I relate to this .... I am also a cheerleader and know what is like to need a skill right before tryouts. My advice is to set really high or maybe don't hold your tuck as long. I spot something on the wall and make sure I feel my arms hit my ears before I actually tuck my legs. The...

Before I began gymnastics, I played all day long on a playground bar attached to a tree in my back yard. I got rips and kept going and going and that is because I thought it would be so amazing if one day I swung high enough to get over the bar without climbing. Later, I found out this skill is...

My gym always goes to the DGS invitational. It is put on by Deary's gym ... big gym supply company. This means that all of the equipment is brand new and the goody bags are great. Last year my gym won a new balance beam and another gym got a nice new mat.

I am a cheerleader and a gymnast. I have a great round off back handspring back tuck, it has a good set and lots of power. I also have a roundoff back handspring with a very high rebound. The problem is, this is on spring floor. I asked my coach with a cheer background if I would be able to do...
