dangerous, it really depends on the skill though.. Give corrections on every turn

Most are regulation, we have one higher, and three cranks. We have 6 in varying heights... from fat beam on the floor to 1 inch under reg.

Our maximum for the state is 6hours a week- for silver and bronze- for gold 6 1/2. We have nothing above that.

So when I land something short, in between my foot and the start of my leg- the crook of my ankle- has an immediate pain that lasts about 20-60 minutes. I hurt it first while doing a back tuck into the grass and was down for about an hour. At gymnastics this has happened at least once a week- I...

That is quite normal. Not ideal but common. I usually have a good day, a really good day and 2 not so good

I always daydream about practice in school... really bad habit... lol

I only do about 6 hours a week, which is as much as we are allowed to do in Prep Opt. I am at a level 6-7 skill level, But I will be doing HS then I can get more hours in about 10-15 a week.

I would say a power, flipper, fluency, dancer, and pretty mentally tough.

I love swinging and tumbling- so floor and bars. And sometimes vault- love tsuks. and beam though challenging. I can't decide!

I am at private school, no going to a public high school!
