    Can I brag a bit?

    Last night at practice we had time to practice bigger skills on tumbl trak with one of our coaches spotting. I warmed up with round off bhs bt off the end. The coach said I got a lot of height and told me to go for a layout. The ones that night were not perfect but still fun and I was really...

    front or back walk over?

    Definitely the bwo. Front walk overs are difficult because of the standing up part at the end which is strength and flexibility...

    Hair and Deductions?

    ChalkBucket Hair Hi all, So I had some questions about hair, how to do it, and what the deductions are... keep in mind that my hair is long (to the middle of my back) and pretty thin. My gym does not require a certain style, just up and out of your face. My first question is how I should...

    New Skills!

    Big girls in xcel

    I’m competing Xcel gold this season. Some teams I’ve seen at meets have girls ages 17 doing gold or even silver. I wouldn’t have a problem with that if the girls were new to gymnastics and were at the same level but all the older girls can do every skill perfectly and score insanely high at each...

    Off Topic Highest AA score?

    Last year at Xcel Silver State Meet I got a 37.95. Funny story: we had these blue cards that our coaches wrote each of our scores on after the judges flashed our scores. My coach finished writing each of the event scores and then added them up and wrote the all around score. I was already kind...
