Ok so I'm a level 8/9 gymnast and as I advance I realize how much we are in need of a pit. My parents worry becuase they don't want us to get hurt learning new skills and I feel like we could advance so much with a pit. Not having a pit I feel has made me not advance as fast I could've with one. For example i recently went to IGC this year for 2 weeks. They have pits there and I learned and did so many new skills that id never done without a pit. There, I did more in 2 weeks than if done in my gym in the past 6 months. My parents have already discussed this matter with my gym owner quite a lot. I mean we are going to get one but I don't think I could wait like a year(possibly 2) to get a pit. Our gym owner just says yes we are trying but the city has to sign the permissions and the process is long blah blah. But it's getting hard without a pit. We sometimes go to other gyms to use there pit but like I wish we had our own. And idk what to do. Like to switch gyms or what. I just need some advice(and sorry this is so long) thanks
