Unfortunately I wanted to try this, but after doing some research I found out that no gyms in my area offer an acro program. Plus with my increased gym time, 4 hours a week of drivers ed, and new job, it would be difficult to fit it in to my schedule. There needs to be more hours in a day!

I had the same problem at one point. To fix it, instead of putting my legs together, I kept them straddled the entire time. It is much harder to arch with straddled legs, at least for me in this skill. Hope this helps!

You could have a parent get together/ party type thing at the beginning of the season where parents can get to know eachother and talk about non-gym things. Then you should have a parent meeting to let them know about the gym/team a few times during the year. I think it would be good for the...

Oops sorry! I though it said what is a flyspring! But yeah, like beamlove said, it is about a level 7/8 skill. I'm prep op advanced, and I connect a flyspring to a front tuck.

Its also known as a bounder I believe. It is basically a front handpring, but from 2 feet. Similar to the USAG level 5/6 handspring vault, but on the floor, or sometimes used as a mount on beam. Heres a video link of one: YouTube - Jenna Flyspring And one as a beam mount: YouTube - front...

Does any one know where I can buy a leo with a back opening? Like where the bottom part of the back isn't covered. Its very hot in my gym, and I would love to have a leo with a "vent". Any ideas?

Sports bras for competition I'm looking for a good sports bra for meets. I'm about a 34 B. Any one know a good one? How about good undies?

Sending them all much luck! And to you for that crazy weekend!

Yes! Thats exactly it! Thanks so much guys! Usually when I've seen it, its been done one foot at a time, but I like the 2 feet at once thing.

So, I always see this move on bars but never knew what it was called. It is when the gymnast is on the low bar, casts usually to handstand, puts one foot on the bar, then the other foot. Then, she swings backwards like a sole circle, and it looks like she is going to do a toe shoot, but instead...

I don't have a picture of it, but we all have to wear middle buns with our team scrunchies around it.

Congrats! Based on what you share on this site, you'll do great! Good luck!!!

you could ask one of the coaches if you could come in for a few private lessons just to get back into it. i dont know if that is an option at your gym, but it had often helped me when regular practices were overwhelming

hey! welcome! i'm sure you'll get back in to the swing of things in no time!

I had a problem like this at my old gym. The owner/ head team coach favored her daughter a lot. The daughter was always allowed to work on harder skills, and didn't even have the skills for the level she was competing. Also, she would be on the computer in the back room during warm up and...

I really like the black and white one from Shawn's collection.

I believe you have to be 16 by the end of the year to compete as a senior.

Senior team: Rebecca Bross Mankenzie Caquatto Chelsea Davis Kytra Hunter Amanda Jetter Mattie Larson Alexandra Raisman Alicia Sacramone Samantha Shapiro Bridget Sloan Morgan Smith Cassandra Whitcomb Vanessa Zamarippa

I want to compete as a prep op advanced this year, but I need a flight element on beam. I've been having lots of trouble with my back handspring. Is there any others that I could do in the mean time?

I just found out that my mom bought a ticket for me to go see them tomorrow! Its the first day of the senior competition. Does anyone know who will be competing?
