To me, I think whilst the kip was harder, I was afraid of flyaways, though I could kip easily. I also preferred the front walkover to the backwalkover myself.

For me, floor and bars usually came easy in 5 - 6, beam was always the hardest for me, I could not get myself to do a backwalkover without spot anytime other than competitions.

Love this post. I'm a big crier myself, mainly because I get afraid of certain skills. It's like a stack of dominoes, my mental block causes my coach to get frustrated, getting me into an even worse state, usually ending in screaming from the coach and tears from me. I've been trying harder...

About 25 - 30 minutes away, but less than 5 minutes away from school, so I can walk there.

Hi, all, got a meet today, pretty big, 'cause gyms all over the region are coming. I'm pretty nervous, and luck and prayers are needed. ;)

I agree, commitment's a big part of it. Hmm, but 20 - 30 hours seems a bit much, I still only have 16 hour practices as a level 8 - thought that was average.

Definitely. (: I'd always forget my routine in compulsories (still do!) but now I can kinda improvise. Also, the judges aren't looking at the book to compare your form with a random drawing.

I was never a good compulsory - my form was terrible, some of the skills I was positively horrible at ( back extension rolls, the dance on floor and beam, bwo on beam, and for some reason I'd always fall on the poses ) but in level 6 I had my fhs front pike, so it was kind of a drag not to...

4, not counting my comp. leo. :) 1's homemade, the others are GK. I hate having to wash 'em every week, but I may get a new one for my birthday. :)

Congrats! That's awesome! ;)

Ohhh, lucky. :)

That's fantastic! Her routine must've been great. :)

Kay, good luck!

Thanks, good luck!

Beam went well, thankfully, got an 8.8, 9.3 on vault (Yayzers!), 8.6 on bars, and 9.2 on floor. :)
