I've been at my new gym for a month and i'm loving it!I've already gotten better,plus bunches of new skills and old skills back!The ceilings are high enough so i am able to do front and back giants without hitting my feet, I've also gotten my front layout,front handspring front tuck.We are working on correcting my form but i'm still making progress! Originally my plan was to compete level 6 this year but because of my back problems (scoliosis/hyper flexible back/si joint problems) i cant do a back walkover on beam.So we decided im doing Xcel gold (prep op) instead and trying to petition to level 7 next year (i am in high school and older then 14 so hopefully they accept).But right now the hurdle is getting the ok from the neurosurgeon/orthopedic surgeon so we'll find out November 16 if i'm able to come back full time!But right now i'm stuck wearing this stupid back brace,but whatever it takes to do gymnastics!!:)
 
Glad things are going well at the new gym! Good luck with the permission from your ortho!
 
I am glad you are back at it and have found away to work around your back problems. Good luck!
 
I am glad things are coming together for you in the new gym. Hope all works out..do keep us posted on how things go
 
Ugh another set back!The orthopedic surgeon is on medical leave until December 1st!Now i'll find out 2 weeks later the originally planned.
