The fact that an athlete can earn a world's ring and then earn a summit ring the following weekend - visualizing that happening might help get these these rules a little stricter. I do like the direction they are heading towards and thank goodness for some changes, finally.
I remember my cp's...
My cp's side-base 1st yr worlds, ---- then main-base 2nd yr worlds was 2"shorter than her.....she is now flying in college at GSU. That is her side-basing with a mainbase 2"taller than her in my avatar. She was on her toes the whole time basing.....she was sooooo strong and proud to be 1 of...
I haven't heard 'teardrop' scorpion ever, but in our 11th year it seems there has been a switch from 'spike' to 'needle' for a straight-legged scorpion. I remember my cp doing a 'needle' on maybe y4 - reaching toward the ground and grabbing the one-legged ankle for a moment while leaving one...
I have a twice-worn pair of 7s in Phoenix if anyone would like to buy them. My cp went to Vengeance but in a 7.5/8. She loved the Phoenix but was peer-pressured, I'm sure, into Vengeance and not grateful that I spent a great deal of time/money finding her discontinued favorite shoes for her...
also, if flyers maintain their grip on their own ankles while folding all the way through to where ankles are horizontal during the catch- it is much, much easier for them to make this look flawless. If they let go early, they tend to fall through the bases' arms due to the lack of tightness...
no-swing bhs are great at teaching you to jump through your toes and maintain your shoulders/arms by your ears. Lots of tumblers will swing, sit and throw head before arms and then never achieve the proper body position
Exactly....ask those poor little, defenseless grandmothers that I read about in the news that have the same atrocities that happen to them, as well. It is NOT what the population WEARS.......it is how incredibly INSANE these psychos are. I was raised in New Orleans. And, thanks to my mum and...
I am more of the mindset of strength issues. It is annoying to see minis on youth teams flying.....how are those bases/backspots/flyers ever really learning to use their body control effectively. Sooooo many videos of people stunting with a baby that amazingly can be tight. cute, but, there is...
And here is another question.... has anyone tumbled on a fiberglass board under the mat carpet before? We encountered that once at Jamfest and we had lots of sore backs just from warmups. My cp just practiced a punchfront only and really jammed her back. She flies, so had a really warmed-up...
It should be longer than an hour. I think it would've been fun to show a 'highlight' of a few that made it out of day one, a highlight of a few that made it to day two and the final three out of each division. Get rid of the ridiculous commentary and the interviews. We would rather see...
I feel EPs can eliminate non-buyers by adding ~$15 to entry fee and include a photo CD and a DVD of the performance. you will get 100% compliance and maybe eliminate a percentage of ipads. Extra fee if you want the whole division DVD.
Just add $10 to competition fee and give each competitor a dvd of performance and a cd of pictures. Problem solved. More revenue for videographer and photographer since each competitor is buying.
It annoys me that UEP won't post theirs. What level 5 competitors actually have the time after...
Found one. This girl claims to be on Cheer Sav S5 (my cp's team) and her name is Katie according to her multiple times on her twitter. There isn't one single Katie in the whole gym, especially not on S5. I guess I wouldn't be terribly upset, except for the fact that she curses worse than a...
