I am 14 years old and i am a level 7 gymnast. My favorite skills are giants, cast handstands, gainers on beam, BHS's on beam, and pike jumps on beam. I have fears of twisting in backlayouts. For skills i want to get...well, that is a lot! i hope to be a college gymnast in the future. But for the end of 2009, I want to get giants by myself, my full into the pit, and a clear-hip to handstand!

I am a 13 year old level 5 (I started late) at .. a gym. It's not YMCA but I'm not sure if I should label it private or not. My favorite skills are forward skills. I much prefer going forward rather than backwards anywhere. I'm terrified at backwards tumbling. Not really terrified, it's just whenever I don't get a natural rebound (one where you do have to really squat and push through, it just happens) I won't throw things and that holds me back.

I don't really have skills I want to learn. I just want to see how far I can get, but learning a giant sounds pretty cool.

I'm 13 and a level 7/8. I go to a YMCA, I'm not sure it is private or not though...I love the vault it's my favorite event I'm also the best at it. Floor is my second favorite event and I love twisting fulls on the hard floor. I hate beam it's terrifying. Bars is also ok, I just ordered new grips today. My favorite skills are a tsukes, gants, switch leaps on the beam, and whips. I skipped level 5 and am hoping to skip level 7. I've never gotten a floor routine but the music I just got sounds like it is from a video game, I'm probly going to get my routine of friday. I apsolutly love music too aspecially rock.

My goal is to get my series on beam in 3 weeks so I can compete it and to get my giants on the bars set and half piroette.

[vigsgymnast101]

[gymnast16]

I am 15 and in level 5 now, i like beam and bars, although i am ok at them, but i love everything, thats why htey call it gymnastics!

 

[ChristianGymnast]

I'm a level 7/8 and I'm 13 years old. My favourite events by far a bars and floor, my favourite skills are full twists, fhs front pikes and everything on bars. I right now have an absoloute mental block on vault, one day I had a yurchenko, and the next, I won't even do a handspring. Vault used to be an event I liked up till level 7 when my coach insisted I competed yurchenko, and I couldn't understand what "blocking" was. I utterly sucked on beam up till that time, when I became a lot more confident. Currently, I'm working handspring front tuck front pike and double twists into the pit (a very soft mat, not foam) OH yeah, I go to a public gym, but it's not YMCA>

I'm 13 years old and about 5"5. I'm in Level 5 or 6 this year (hoping to be in Level 6). I go to a privately owned club called EKGA. My favourite skill to do is a back walkover on beam. my least favourite skill to do is a flyaway (i'm scared that my feet are going to hit the bar). my best event is probably floor or vault (although vault isn't my favourite), my worst even is bars for sure!! My favourite events go in this order: Beam, Floor, Vault, Bars. I want to learn how to do a bhs on the beam, back layout on floor, glide kip on bars, handspring on vault.

since i posted this i have improved heaps and have a whole new look on gym.

I am 15 and open 4 but if i am lucky i might be competing open 5 (these are basically just less competitive). i'm not sure if my gym is a club or private gym. I really am obsessed with gym and really regret having to quit when i was younger because the gym i went to closed down and the gym i go to now i am pretty sure i saw as a rival gym (i guess that's what little kids do ). so after 4 years of no gymnastics i have rejoined more enthusiastic than ever!!!!. at the moment my favourite skills are: Round off flip sault on floor, Front handspring, pirouettes, leaps, Front handspring step out cartwheel cartwheel, punch front dismount off beam, leaps and pirouettes on beam, cartwheel on beam, bars hmmm.... i would love to be amazing on bars so i think i have to say back hip circle on bars and on vault i love front handsprings even though i suck at them.

Skills i would like are:
Floor: Back extension roll to handstand
Beam: Back walkover
vault: a really good front handspring
bars: hmm how about all of them! god i suck! but i wish i could do a kip!

wow after writing this i cannot believe how much i have improved over about 4 months!! and i can't wait till my first comp!

[gym klutz]

I am 13 and in prep op silver. I go to a private gym and I love floor and bars.

 

[gymgurl]

I would rather not say what club for privacy reasons but i am state 4 or 5 in NSW

 

[luvgymnastix84]

I'm training level 6 at a private gym and my favorite event is floor because I love tumbling. My favorite skill on floor is front tucks, beam is backwalkovers, and bars umm free hips i guess. I am extremely afraid to do my flyaway on bars though! I don't know why...even if I have double spotters and they say "all you need to do is let go and we'll flip you," I just can't make myself let go. This is my 3rd year doing gymnastics besides a year when I was younger at Little Gym.

 

[addicted2tumbling]

Im 13 and im a level 6 training 7. I like to do roundoff bhs arabians on floor, different types of leaps/jumps on beam, Giants on bars, and a front handspring on vault. I go to estrella gymnastics. My fears are doing backwards stuff on beam.. (can someone give me advice if possible?) I want to get a front handspring front tuck, back full, standing back tuck, backhandspring on beam, and all kinds of flexibility junk haa!
