    Leotard question!

    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?

    Mixed series/ Gym-acro

    I need a new mixed pass/gym-acro, what ever you want to call it. I can't think of a good one. I've already done one with a backhandspring and one with a round off, both connected to a straddle jump. I want one that is not seen a lot. I'm a prep op intermediate, or hopefully advanced. Any ideas?
