Today was my first day of summer camp and it was so fun! The gym I'm doing camp at has great coaches and great equipment (unlike our small poverty gym) so it was awesome ...and i think I'm gonna learn so much here in just a week!
I already got my long kip!!! which i didn't think i would EVER get because i couldn't figure out the technique. I'm SOO excited!!! The first one i tried was the same as my usual not even close long kips. After that i asked the coach if she could explain the technique to me and after she did i just did it!!!! with straight arms and everything. lol sorry im excited. (bars is a major weakness for me).
I also want to learn flyaways cause they have a pit bar, but evidentally (sp) i fail at flyaways We were doing the dead cow things but im just to scared to do flip it! Before i go i say I'm gonna do it, and im confident and everything but then in the middle of it I'm like omg because i think im gonna go backwards and hit the bar. I'v never done a flyaway in my life, or even thought about doing one but this week i really want to get it (possibly good anough so i can work on them at my gym without a pit).
I'v read some of the other flyaway threads but does anyone have advice on how to not hit the bar, or can someone walk me through the technique of a flyaway (when to let go etc.)
all my goals for this week are: get a consistent and tight long kip, get my low bar kip again (consistent and tight), get over my fear of flyaways and at least flip it into the pit, do a full twist off the tumble track onto a hard mat in the pit, and work on 1/2 - full twisting vaults.
sorry about rambling on but im excited
