That's awesome! I got real nervous that she was gonna tumble off the mat!

I saw that this morning. The girl can very much tumble. I know she was going for a world record but at the end she looked so tired I was worrying about her safety. Still kudos to her strength and skill and putting a positive image on the sport of cheer!

Me too! One or two came scary close and all I could think of was how awkward would it be if she didn't make it with the award like right off camera?

So glad that didn't happen; her strength is amazing!

she's amazing. congrats, girl!

some of those kiddos they had demo-ing before she went kind of weren't the best representation landing on their heads

So proud of her!

Made me nervous watching her on that one mat with cement all around ... Wish they would have used a few more mats or had some padding around...

Also those little kids tumbling... Make sure your kids can land the skills before throwing them on national television, please, for their safety.

When they asked her if she ever did that many doubles in such a short amount of time I thought of that early in the season Smoed routine where they had her doing about 3 bouncebacks and 15 doubles before it was toned down ;/.

I wish she'd give more details about what she means when she says she represents our country for "gymnastics" on these shows - I'm sure many veiwers think she's talking about bars, beam, vault, floor gtmnastics, when that is not the case. It's just confusing, and her publicist should help her articulate it better - she said similar stuff on Steve Harvey.

The kids in the beginning need to work on their sets before doing skills like those. Gosh. The one kid fell on his knees on I think a single tuck in spite of having very powerful back-handsprings - that is bad set technique and it's dangerous for him to perform no handed flips out of handsprings and round-offs if he doesn't know how to set properly.

I noticed they were using air tumbling mats, which I have been told have a much different feel and response than spring or rod floors. Anyone out there with air mat tumbling versus spring/rod floor experience that could tell us if that could play into they way the younger kids were tumbling? Also, I'm assuming just from physics, that air mats would absorb energy making rebounds less powerful. Anyone?

I'm so happy for Angel, what an accomplishment!

I definitely think the air mat versus rods/springs would make a difference. However, I was horrified by the younger boy who about landed on his head. I kept hoping one of the adults would walk over and tell him to stop at a back handspring. Definitely powerful little tumblers, but oh so dangerous.

I didn't watch, but yes, tumbling on air mats is different than rod floors or spring floors. And they air mats can feel different too based on how much they have been blown up too. I could see kids having trouble if they have never tumbled on them before. I find the timing to be slightly different - more absorption on the rebounds I think

Yes, the timing of an air floor is very different to regular sprung floor, rod floor and tumble track.
