    if you have quit gymnastics read this

    Well, I haven't quit gymnastics but I definitely have thought about the day when it will happen (hopefully not for many years fingers crossed!). I don't honestly know what I will do with myself :( Obviously I don't have any personal experience I can share to help you out...I would have thought...

    Off Topic Brothers or Sisters?

    lol Idk if it's true about gymnastics stunting your growth, but my brothers are all 6' or over and I'm under 5'. They all surf and play football and I do gymnastics 35 hours a week so it could be very true!

    What kind of gymnast are you???!!

    I just turned 14 a few weeks ago and I'm getting ready to move up to level 10. I train at a private gym in Northern Queensland, Australia and I'm working on a pre-elite program and currently train 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm-6:00pm Monday to Friday and 5 hours on Saturday. My favorite events are...

    front giants

    Hmm well I started doing front giants in competition in level 8 (struggled because of a wrist injury at the time). Bars are not a huge strength for me, though I have improved a ton this past year. They do feel weird (as in the whole reverse grip part and of course the going backwards part for me...

    Off Topic Brothers or Sisters?

    lol My brothers haven't tried that one on me yet. My brothers are all insanely tall (over 6 feet) and I'm insanely small (4 7), though I reckon I'll be able to take them on one day ;). 35 hours in the gym has gotta get me somewhere. They always eat all the food in the house, hide things from me...

    Off Topic Brothers or Sisters?

    Hey guys. This is a totally random thread because well, I guess I have brothers on the mind! I have 5 brothers and they drive me insane. Half of them do things like forget my birthday, yet on the other hand are so controlling and tell me what to do all the time lol I am the only girl and to...

    "Chalked Up" by Jennifer Sey

    Funnily enough, my big brother called me 2 days ago (he forgot my birthday which was a few weeks ago now) and told me he had ordered me this gymnastics book off eBay as a late birthday present. So it will be interesting to see what it's like. I'll let everyone know.

    strengths

    I've always felt comfortable on the beam. I have really great balance :) And I love dance so really try to make the best of floor.

    Hey, I'm new!

    Welcome! Hey that's awesome having your own gym, even if it is small :) That would be a total dream to me :) Good luck with the new skills and let us know how they go. I learned a back handspring back tuck connection on beam like 2 months ago and it was a huge deal for me because I'd been...

    grips: buckle vs. velcro, ten.o vs reisport ?

    I'm lvl 9. I've never used Velcro, but my first pair was a beginners pair single buckle style. I have really small hands, always have, so no problems there, but for my second pair I got 2 buckle Bailles and they were heaps better. Much more secure feeling. I've always used Baille so have no idea...

    Hey! I'm new!

    I was really lucky I guess...and a bit crazy. :) Luckily it was a pretty clean break and there wasn't a lot of complications. I just worked out like crazy on the exercise bike and kept working on my balance and conditioning and so forth. I think it's really hard to just get gymnastics out of...
