Well I am back to working out after taking last year off as I was pregnant, had my daughter in September 2011. My goals are to get back all the level 8 skills I competed in 2010 and maybe a few new ones. Doing good so far, last weekend was the first time I actually practiced in the gym. Made my...
Good luck to anyone who is competing this weekend, I want to know how everyone does, I had so much fun last year and am hoping to compete again next year!!!!
Good luck to all you ladies competing this weekend. I had planned on doing this meet but found out I will be expecting my first child in August so looks like no meets for me this year.
Warrior Dash is AWESOME!!! I did the one in Georgia this year and I am looking forward to next year!!! the obstacles are great, be prepared to get covered in mud. Pick an earlier time slot if possible, as the day goes on the trail gets muddier and harder to run. I am still planning on competing...
Gymnastike.org is a website that covers gymnastics meets of all levels and now has a page for AAU Adult gymnastics. It has a new video everyday, I love it!! I uploaded my meet video from Va Beach to this page, you can upload videos from your meets or just comment on the coverage. This website is...
New skills I've been working on since this meet: back fulls on tumbletrak and resi pit, front layout and back layout 1/2 on floor, front pike front tuck floor, handspring full and tsuks on vault, bhs and front walkover and tuck jump full on beam. Overshoots, double flyaways, flyaway 1/2s, and...
I went to Woodward in PA as a kid training level 8 so now as a Ladies level 8 would be awesome but I can't go in August as its the start of the season for the gymnast I Coach.
It is an amazing camp and of course has a lot of upgrades since I went over 10 years ago!!!!
Kylie: thats great you are getting your front tumbling and tsuks are so much fun, I learned them as an adult too!!
nicci1999 - Thats awesome, I know you cant wait to get back to skills!! The skills come easy after the strength training, thats just the hard part!!!

You dont have to have a team, just a USAG # and a coach!!! I just started competing again this season and only did AAU. I was just saying usag 8 can do that skill which means AAU 8 can do it now since they follow USAG rules. I don't plan on competing USAG even though I would love to do 9 or 10...
Wow a pike tsuk, thats awesome!!
I know we can do C dance elements but I meant acro skills. On bars you have always been able to do a couple C's (clear hip HS and cast HS 1/2 turn) but I wish we could do all C skills. I have never been good at clear hips but I can do a toe on pike sole circle...
Thanks nicci1999, I'm excited about adding some new skills, I wish they had an open or level 9 for ladies so we could do "C" skills.
Gikigirl, I dont know what vaults the top places were doing but I didnt stand up my tsuk on day one, day two I stood it up barely but I felt they were scoring...
