I now have all of my level two skills down consistently, including the BHC with an underswing. All of my coaches have said it is probable that I move to (old) level three by the summer. The thing is, I can't move to level three without getting my level three skills. My coaches aren't really...

When I'm doing my mill circle, I'll do the rotation, and get to the top, but then I swing back down. Tips on fixing this?

Does anyone know the new level 2 routine? We haven't learned our yet because meet season doesn't start until December. I'm dying to know!

All of my points (on CB) seem to have disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?

Who qualified for the U.S. team at the Worlds?

Today I finally got my back hip circle! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I feel stupid for having to just start a thread for this, but my coach said for level 3, you needed a "partial cross handstand". What's that?

Hi everyone, My gym is trying to get me to be on level 3 by then end of the summer so then I can compete level 3 in the fall. I was wondering if you guys thought I could make it. Here are my current skills and the things I'm working on. Floor: Forward roll (tuck and straddle) Backward roll into...

Hi, I am really close to my bridge kickover (and i mean on the floor, i can do it easily on a cheese), and I was wondering if you guys have some tips on how to get all the way over. I have at least a 120 degree leg split when kicking over, so that's not the problem. When I come back from...

Just wondering- how long did it take you to get your mill/stride circle and your handstand on beam? And if you haven't gotten it yet, how long is it taking you?

So as you've heard, I moved up to level two. I heard that USAG made a change in the levels, so does that mean I'll be competing new level two in fall, which is equivalent to old level three? This is very confusing and I'm wondering if the is only for level 4 and up? Any help would be...

Hi, Right now i'm doing a rec gymnastics camp, but i saw a few girls who are on the rec team with me training as pre-team. As i saw them, i came to see that what they were doing was much more my level than the rec camp. I learned that the head coach picked the girls who could do all of the...

Hi! My friend was a dancer even before gymnastics, and she still is. Since in dance (ballet) you have to keep your back straight, that has caused minimal back flexibility. She needs her back bend before anything else, and she was wondering if there was any way to improve her back flexibility so...

YAY!!!!! I'm finally a level two! I didn't get my back hip circle, but I'm A LEVEL TWO!!!!!!!!!

My friend used to love gymnastics. All parts of it. She, maybe almost three months ago said that she wanted to get so good that she could compete as a level ten. Just today, she started out in a great mood and then settled into a bad mood. She says all she likes is floor and so she just wants to...

I'm so mad at myself!!!!! Today the head coach was watching me in order to see if I was ready for level two (I'm sure that he thinks I'm not...), and I totally messed up the level two vault (a handstand block. I only did a good one ONCE), and i also didn't do my back hip circle as usual...

Hi everyone, What are your goals for the summer? Get into a certain level, get a certain skill etc. Mine are get my back hip circle and get into the level two class (at my gym there is rec team that competes at meets throughout the year. the levels are 1-3 and they have summer classes for each...

At my gym we do conditioning drills when my crossfit manic coach feels like having fun (it may be fun for her, but it is SO not fun for us!) and we also do them for punishment. For me, ALL of them are kinda annoying, but my least favorite (which, of course, is my coach's favorite) is when we...

Hi guys, I have had my share of epic failures in gymnastics (wait a minute, they were all on beam!) and I was wondering you guys out there had as many or as fail-y (i know, i know, it not a word, but it should be). It doesn't have to be funny, just has to be epic..... One of mine is more painful...

I mean, now I can everything fine with the other events but....... my good ol' enemy, THE BAR..... dud dud dun..... yeah, i fail at bars..... it took me two years to get my pullover and the only that's blocking from level two is that good ol' bar. Well, not really, my back hip circle. I can...
