    Make It or Break It --- ABC Family --- June 22nd 9/8c

    I didn't like this show at all.... It was so unrealistic and showed gymnastics in such a negative way. However that didn't stop me from watching it every week:P Did it bother anyone else that Kaylee won after everything that happened?? In my opinion, she didn't deserve it. She never worked...

    Off Topic Music at your gym?

    i think music totally sets the mood for training. when good music is on i train harder. the suckish part is that my coach likes really crummy music, either old wierd stuff or overplayed popuar stuff. so we always end up changing the radio station when hes not looking, and then he'll change it...

    Layout Full Dismout. Bars.

    i do double twist dismount, and its even harder not to over-rotate on those, because theres even more twist. You really have to think about streching out on the release, not flipping. it will flip because of momentum, you don't need to wiggle it. Really good twists look like they stall in the...

    Healthy Gymnasts

    You can't really help getting sick from other kids at gym. Think about it: you're with them for up to 30 hours a week. You're going to spread germs, and washing you hands isn't going to stop that. As for spitting on grips, I never have, but many girls at my gym do. But really, spit is no...

    when to wear grips... And when to join team

    At my gym we never use dowel grips. They don't work as well because you can't grip the bar properly. I also use 3 hole grips (like the men) and i love them. They cover more of your hand and stay on better. Good Luck!

    Giants?

    i used to do 2 giants, and took one out because of the jugdes. i think they want to see more creative skills. It must get boring watching the same rutines again and again.... also there's no deduction for repeated skills but judges seem to hate it.

    Little Girls in Pretty Boxes

    There are lots of clubs that don't take kids who are tall. its not just an aussie thing, they do it in canada and the US. i am perfectly aware that gymnasts are yelled at and have to watch their weight. some clubs think thats just a part of it. And its usually those clubs that have good...

    ESPN's top 50 most difficult sports.

    Gymnastics should be WAY higher on nerves and strength... and power too! Come on, tumbling is all about power! And I was dissapioned that we weren't higher on hand-eye co-ordination. How many boxers do you know who could swing giants???
