brag

I just got my full twist on floor on saturday (on a sting mat but that was more because our coach doesn't want our joints to die before competition season even starts) the video is below - it's not perfect and that's probably my 5th one so I was getting a bit tired. I know I'm piking down and my...

DD had an amazing practice last night. She had about four skills that finally clicked in. They are in no means 'pretty' yet but you can see they are on their way. She finally landed both her front hand spring and front tuck on the tumble track. Her coach let her try cartwheels on the low beam...

I've not shared a brag on here before, but wanted to share this exciting news about my Little Miss. She's a 7 year old level 5 (USAG), competed level 4 last year's season. She's been coming along well this year in L5 and at her meet last weekend received a 9.9 on floor! It was really fun to see...

This was my daughter's last meet as a L3. We just got news she'll be moving to L4(new). http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GBPG3H8K4b0

Wait for it......Wait for it...... I got my round off back handspring today:)!!!!! Just in time for my first level 4 meet next weekend. I officially have all of my level 4 skills and am an all around gymnast! Sorry, I am just so excited!

Well it's not really a brag really it's more of just a need to get my excitement out but gym is going so well at the moment especially floor and vault. Floor I now have round off flic full off floor onto a mat in the pit after having not tried twisting in about a year and only restarting about...

As a small gymnast, DD has had her struggles with vault over the years. A tiny 6 yr old Level 4, she did "ok" but never great. Levels 5-6 saw alot of scores in the 6-7 range. Eventually by L7 she had grown a little to start doing well at the FHS. Fast forward...now she is 12 years old, L9...

DD has a very packed day coming up! DD's state meet is in 3 weeks. Her group of level 4s go at 8 am. For once, this is a good thing. DD is also in her school musical. (She is the Mayor's Wife in Bye Bye Birdie.) She has a matinee performance at 2. Although, she is supposed to be there at 1 (this...

There are a lot of 4 year olds here that have more advanced skills but I wanted to share that Bean's cartwheels look beautiful! She has been doing them for awhile but in the past couple weeks I have noticed that her legs are long and straight with pointed toes. It was a "wow, look at...

You know how we all think our daughters are beautiful and phenomenal? Well, it's going to be one of those kinds of posts so consider yourself warned! I was watching DD work L6 bars and when she does her cast baby giant undershoot, it is visual poetry. She is so tight and fluid and FAST. I...

Hi there. Haven't seen 6 year old DD practice in awhile and they are never on beam at the end of practice. I have two other kids with busy schedules in other sports, so pickup is the only time to figure out what's going on. Anyway, went to the gym during practice to meet a mom who is making a...

My dd placed 3rd in her age division on tramp and is the 2nd alternate for Eastern's AND... WON her Double mini category, qualified for Team Ontario for Eastern's and may I please just add that she is 9, and had the highest score of any age group for her level... Okay brag over... :/ #proud mama

So we had our 3rd meet today... Pretty memorable due to the following facts: The competition was held in 2 gymnasiums (3 apparatus in one, the 3 others in another one) The fire alarm went on in the middle of the meet, while we were going to start the warm-up for the 4th apparatus... The fire...

Really long Brag with backstory type flashbacks :) Ok, I just have to announce it to the world... This is in a YMCA program that allows you to move up to team if you have 75% of your skills. We do compete USAG routines, but only go against of the YMCAs. Many of our girls are really good, but...

I don't think I've bragged before - I've commented on others and asked and answered questions, but had typical British reserve about celebrating my kids skills. Well daughter has been having a good two or three weeks. It happens in waves and lots of things have just been dropping in to place -...

Not sure if this is the right forum.. but I really wanted to :) My DD just got her back walkover last night... no spotting! She was super excited about it. OK that is all :)

So dd went to workout last night, first one after the meet. While the girls were warming up the coaches were doing their thing. HC passed by and was chatting with myself and the other gym dad that is there as much as I am. He commented that some girls were going to get a 'talking to' after...

D came home from practice all excited! Apparently he got his Front-handspring-bounder-front tuck.. (he says it is a level 7 pass? I have no idea!) And he managed his front pike on floor. He is pumped!!!

Needed a place to brag about my gymnast doing her first unassisted bridge walkover!:D

I wanted to brag a little about my DS Ryan Here is a little video that his coach posted on facebook of my son doing bail moy something on p-bars! It looks really cool! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=427115154011397&set=vb.427095457346700&type=2&theater He's grown so much since joining...
