    Parents Air track recommendation

    When mine was little and just starting out, we had a doorway pull-up bar and a panel mat. While neither was essential, those were the two that I found nice to have at home. As for an air track, we did get one during the COVID shut down, when my daughter was out of the gym for an extended time...

    I have had that happen a few times. Keeps jumping back to a particular post and can’t get to the top/beginning. But for me it doesn’t happen on every thread, just now and then.

    Parents Wonky grips

    It looks like the flaps of leather were cut off the holes. I grabbed a picture of grips from the web and you can see how the leather for the holes is still attached. Are the grips brand new?

    WAG Mixed leg dominance

    Okay, that is something to think about. I have no gymnastics background so this is all very new to me. I was told that they have to have all the skills on one side when they compete (for her that will be level 3).

She started each on a different leg, but started her cartwheel with her left leg lifted up by her knee. So she really was using her right leg to...

    WAG Mixed leg dominance

    That was my thought too. And at first they did say they would switch handstand to cartwheel side. But after a while it was decided to switch her cartwheel because everything else was right side like her splits, kick over, front handspring, leaps, etc. If you ask her to kick her leg, it is...

    WAG Mixed leg dominance

    Thanks for sharing your experience. My daughter has been working on switching for some months now. She is determined to get it, but said she would stay with her left leg if she could. I’m hoping that switching legs is the right thing for her.

    WAG Mixed leg dominance

    Hi! I’m new to chalkbucket and was wondering if anyone had some insight on mixed leg dominance and how to choose a side. I have searched for threads on this subject but none seem to quite answer my question so I thought I’d come out of lurking and ask my question :) My 6 year old pre-team...
