    WAG Xcel Platinum Vault question

    @kmc I don't know who you were asking, though I don't have the answer lol. I certainly hope so!

    WAG Xcel Platinum Vault question

    Thank you @raenndrops for your reply! That would make sense if the purpose was to encourage more twisting, though I agree that like the yurchenko full in NCAA, most probably won't change their vaults for such a small deduction. I know I won't anytime soon and I very rarely see any vaults other...

    WAG Xcel Platinum Vault question

    Hi, I'm not sure if anyone else has already asked this question as I have not been on chalkbucket often as of late. I was wondering about the reasoning behind devaluing the front handspring vault in Xcel Platinum to a 9.8 start value. Platinum is not equivalent to level 7, so why is our...

    WAG Picking Floor Music

    I had 300 Violins when I was in Xcel gold and have heard multiple other girls at meets with the same music. That being said, it never gets cut the exact same way so at least judges get some variety.

    WAG Help joining coach's forum

    Hi! I recently started coaching a few rec classes at my gym and wanted to know if I could please be added to the coach's forum. I would still like to remain in the gymnast forum also as I am still competing. Thanks in advance!

    WAG Bulging disc

    Thank you so much for the response!! That is very helpful. I will look into those exercises! I have taken almost 2 months off of gymnastics because of this and the fact that you are pain free as an adult is very encouraging. Thanks again! :)

    WAG Bulging disc

    Sorry to drag up this thread, but I was hoping for more responses. If anyone/anyone's DD/DS has had a bulging disc, please let me know how it's doing!! I would love to hear any stories because there's not a whole lot of information out there about this injury for gymnasts and I really don't want...

    WAG Tiger paws on beam

    They make water proof tiger paws that might help reduce slippage on beam since they are made for diving boards.

    WAG Bulging disc

    I have just received the report for an MRI that I got Friday for my lower back. Obviously I will be seeing my orthopedic doctor and will listen to whatever he tells me, but I wanted to hear any success stories with this injury. I have been diagnosed with normal lumbar lordosis and a posterior...

    WAG Deduction for coach out on floor?

    Thanks!!

    WAG Deduction for coach out on floor?

    I feel pretty silly not knowing this, but is there a deduction for my coach standing there (but clearly not touching me) on my ROBT on floor? (Xcel platinum). Also, my coach stands in between the bars for my whole routine, that isn't a deduction anymore is it?

    WAG Dismount for Xcel gold? Need help fast!!!

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I was wondering if round off is also an acceptable dismount for Xcel Platinum without a deduction?

    WAG Am I out for the rest of my season?

    I don't have any experience with your ankle injury, (get better soon!!) but I've only been doing gymnastics (counting Rec) for 3 years and I've had a broken foot, broken wrist, sprained 2 fingers, sprained each ankle multiple times, sprained elbow (suspected OCD) and tendinitis in both elbows...

    WAG Elbow tendinitis recovery

    Thank you for the helpful reply!!! @munchkin3 after the end of the recovery period was your gymnast able to do full gymnastics pain free?

    WAG Elbow tendinitis recovery

    I have been having pain in at least 1 elbow since the summer, and went to the Dr and got diagnosed with a sprain. After resting it and it not getting much better, I went to the Dr again a couple weeks ago and was told I have tendinitis in both elbows. They casted my worse one (right) to force...

    WAG Is a front full a C?

    Thank you! @cbifoja do you know where we can find where it says that in the COP in case our coach wants to see it?

    WAG Is a front full a C?

    My friend wants to compete a front full (on floor) this year as an Xcel Platinum. Is that a C skill? C's are unallowable for our division and we haven't been able to find where it says the value parts for skills. Thanks!
