Whoa! Totally missed that post! :/

When I got on my app this morning (on iPhone) I was logged out with no way to log in. I ended up deleting the app thinking I would just reload it. When I went to the App Store to re 'get' it, I could not find it! I have searched everywhere! Is the app no longer available?

We will be at two of the meets you mentioned! :)

My friend has a child there and she did not know. :/

I don't understand wolf turns at all. A wolf jump has both legs in front of the body, not out to the side. Girls fall out of them all the time, they look so out of control. One of the worst things for me is the very beginning, the body starts turning and leaves the leg behind, causing an ugly...

Ugh. Maybe I'm totally wrong. :/

I THINK one of the gymnasts that trained at our gym may have gone to train at OTC...? Definitely not post college though...?

Gah! I'm pretty sure someone already said this but as I was watching McCusker's bar routine (which looked beautiful...and I LOVED her leo!) I kept thinking ENOUGH with the stalders and toe ons!!! There must have been 414,756 of them!

Haven't read all the replies but we have DEFINITELY been at a meet with a '6-7' age group for level 4. There were NO 6 year olds though. Only 7 year olds, not sure why they kept the 6-7 category.

I'm also curious about how the kip, uprise, uprise works?

She has no problem hurdling the other way when tumbling? I'm just curious that one hurdle would be natural one way and the other the opposite.

Is that an individual gym's requirements? I know last year, I saw plenty of layout flyaways, tucked yurchenkos, and BHS BHS series on beam.

Mine too

Just wanted to add that if every gymnast CHOSE JO or XCEL, that would be great. I worry that it starts to become a 'you're not good enough for JO, so you'll have to accept xcel,' type of thing.

I just hope it doesn't start off well intentioned and then transition into something else. Gyms suddenly decide that certain boys aren't 'good enough' for JO, etc... Or as a way to avoid compulsory, the way some girls teams use their xcel programs. I'm not a fan of that method. With regard to...
