    WAG chalk dust

    We recently switched gyms, and I have noticed a white haze of chalk dust in the air every time I walk into the new gym to pick my daughter up. The entire gym looks like it is full of fog or cigarette smoke. Somehow this escaped my notice during her evaluation, perhaps because I was so impressed...

    MAG Anyone heard of or used Chalk Nuggets?

    I saw a new skidproof magnesium carbonate chalk product named Chalk Nuggets on Gymsupply/DGS-9.9's, NRA Gym Supply and US Glove websites. The price is much cheaper than the Block Chalk. Has someone heard of or used this product? Could you please provide me your comments? I'm wondering if it is...

    Parents Chalk

    I am new to this board so this may have already been answered. My daughter is a Level 2 working on Level 3 skills. She has an aversion to chalk. Is she gonna hurt her hands?? I have noticed she is the only one who has not gotten "rips" in her training group and is very proud of her callouses...

    WAG Chalk

    Just out of curiosity, about how much chalk does your gym go through (like on a daily or weekly basis)? I'm wondering if our gym overuses chalk or is average.

    Parents Sweaty palms and not allowed chalk?

    Recently my 7 y/o daughter's level 3 bar coach began telling the girls they are not allowed to use chalk on bars - whether at practice OR competition (they also are not allowed grips) -- this has become an issue because she gets sweaty palms (especially at meets, and has missed a skill because...

    WAG Painting the bar with chalk at a meet?

    L5 meet this past weekend. Fiercest competitors in our tri-city area. I was sitting directly in front of the bars and noticed their coaches "painting" chalk on the bars with little artists brushes before their girl's rotation. Smart tactic or (another) sign of their psychosis?

    WAG Any liquid chalk opinions?

    My daughters gym just brought in liquid chalk and does not want the girls to use regular chalk anymore. One of the team girls likes it but the rest do not. My daughter (and others) said that she flew off of the bar while using it. My daughter is working on level 9 and 10 skills and has been...

    Where do you keep your chalk?

    I was just wondering where you guys (Gymnasts) keep your chalk? I've seen girls at my gym keep in in Grip Bags, or some in little plastic tupperware boxes. Where do you guys keep yours??

    Chalk it Up, the next gymnastics movie.

    Ok, a bit late on this one since there is only 3 days left. I meant to post it a month ago and just sort of lost track of time. It's not very likely the Kickstarter will hit it's goals but I'm sure Maddy will parley that into some other effort. Shawn Johnson signed on to be a part of it and...

    Parents Watch out, Chalk Bucket! DD is turning 13 tomorrow!

    Silly, I know, but my DD is turning 13 tomorrow, so she will finally be old enough to join CB! She likes to scroll through some of the topics on my account, especially if it is a topic that she has been through. I'm excited for her to have the CB community to bounce ideas off of, and just...

    Parents Liquid chalk question

    My nephew asked me after seeing my daughters rip if she was allowed to use liquid chalk. I did not know if she could use it in competitive gymnastics. So my question is are we allowed to have them use it?

    Coaches The chalk bucket (not this forum)

    Though I'm not currently spotting bars due to a shoulder thing, I've noticed that my kids are chalking constantly it seems. Anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce time around the chalk bucket? I feel like there has to be a way. I honestly wonder (per kid) how much actual time is spent...
