    Acrobatic Gymnastics

    As I've competed in a couple of mixed pairs over the years, I've been competing against less and less over the years, and the world champs 2013 only saw 5 pairs from the world. That's out of 7 billion people only 10 went to the world championships

    "Popping" joints... How bad is it really?

    WAG Is it "illegal" to learn skills for next level up?

    definitely not true. Either the coach is scared to coach levels up (which wouldbe most likely) or they don't know how. Either way they are lying.

    Acrobatic Gymnastics

    posting some videos of some of my favorite acro partnerships (yes my favourite type is mixed pairs) Acro is a regrettably dying sport, ashamed to admit. Hoping to shed some light on it to gain popularity and be entered into the Olympics (I'd much rather watch this than bowls or archery). Yes it...
