If it's right on your actual butt, it's your gluteus maximus. If it's lower down, towards your leg, it's probably your hamstring

Butt". Haaa

I got my eyelashes shaved of by a fingernail. I wiped them of my eye and they just fell of and landed in a pile on the mat.
I am a backspot and had just moved up a level and was learning how to catch fulldowns. The flier opened up to catch herself and somehow hit my eye. I had a huge gap in my lashline for a while and refused to go to school for a couple of days.

I get it ALL the time. Your butt's connected to your back… wait that sounds really dumb… basically all the muscles are interconnected and as flyers we use so much butt/back muscles staying tight in the air and pulling lines that they get stressed out. There's also a lot of fascia there which means something to people who know about that kinda stuff (ie. not me). Mine was sore at training, I took a break and stretched it out, did a triple toe touch and my entire left butt/lower back seized up. Still hurts two days later

Yeah mine kills! I let it rest today so hopefully when I practice tomorrow it won't be shooting up pain!

Well im a back and so one time we were either a prep or extension but when we popped and i caught her i pulled a musle in my back. Another one was when i was tumbling and i did a back walkover and i was going for a back hanspring but i decided not to and slammed my head into the ground

My friend and I were just messing around at the gym and decided to throw a partner standing tuck. Which was really stupid because I'm atleast 5 inches taller than her, but luckily...WE GOT IT ON VIDEO. So y'all can laugh at our pain



We were not hurt in anyway, other than our pride. But I was picking carpet fibers out of my braces for a good 15 minutes.

Queen of random concussions right here. Haha

Pulled an ab muscle the week before a big competition. It was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me. Never went to the doctor though, I figured they would tell me to sit out and I HAD to compete that weekend. But seriously, watch out. Pulled ab muscles are killer. You don't realize how much you use your abs during the day until that happens.

Pulled the quad muscles in my thigh once too, that's also killer.

Is that a Back Tuck club shirt from UCA nationals you're wearing?

I'm in the KU sports bra but the shirt she is wearing is either from NCA Allstar Nationals or UCA High School Nationals!

I fractured my sternum this weekend! Haha.

But other than that, I've dislocated my fingers running down a hotel hallway looking for hairspray before a competition. Still competed and I was a base ;D
And I also ruptured my appendix during a competition. That was NOT a fun weekend. Haha.
