Thank you very much! I feel embarrassed sending video though (it's bad!). Instead of landing opposite of the direction I began, I cross my feet at the apex and end up landing facing the same direction in which I started. I "spin around" basically because my feet cross. I had a girl at the gym...

I guess that was not clear. I am at a gym which is specifically for gymnastics. It is the only one within about 2 hours, and the instructor has mostly little kids and does not spend time with me, so I am not making progress because I don't want to keep practicing a bad habit. I was hoping...

I started tumbling again after 15 years, but I used to have a roundoff BHS. I have been going to the one gym in my area, and it is not helping. The instructor doesn't pay attention to anyone, has mostly little kids who run amok, and I am learning bad habits because I tend to cross my legs before...

I'm coming out of a nasty knee injury and getting back into tumbling after several years. I have an extremely nonchalant coach (other gyms wouldn't take me because of my age) and I don't want to practice bad habits. My roundoffs used to be very powerful, but now I don't always keep my legs...

This post is from so long ago but I'm hoping you may see this and recommend a good brand of tattoo cover makeup. I have used several brands over the years for dance comps, but they never matched my skin color unless I was unnaturally tan.

This is an older post, so what does everyone recommend for styles available now for wide feet? I bought some Nikes in my regular size and they are tight at the toes and about an inch too long. There aren't any stores in my area that carry cheer shoes, so I have to play the guessing game online...

Thank you both for the replies! What size are they generally? Do you have any tips on what brand to buy from Amazon or what ribbon to use in order to keep them stiff? Any help is much appreciated!

Where can you find the smaller, collegiate stye bows?

What conditioning and stretching do you do when you have a knee injury? I danced for many years and would tough it out or take long breaks, but I tore my meniscus for the second time two years ago and now it is more prone to tears. I train Krav Maga also, and ended up with a small tear 2 weeks...

That is definately the attitude!!

Thank you so much, ScottyB! I don't mind the disorganization; I just want to be as prepared as possible and really want to see the team grow and succeed. What are some good cheer shoes with support for jumps and tumbling? (I have a bad knee and right now just have my trusty old Asics from...

Hi! I am new to the forum and have decided to try out for my college cheer team. The college is a very small, rural community college which is rebranding (as in dropped the "community" from the college name, changed the school colors and added basketball and cheer last fall). The cheer team...

I am so thankful to have found such a positive forum with clearly defined rules. I am transitioning into college sideline cheer after being a dancer and competitive twirler. I look forward to all of the great advice I can learn from everyone, and wish the best to all of you!

How are things progressing for you? I would really like to know how your skills are progressing and wish you the best. I just found this forum today and I have roughly the same skills you listed. I took tumbling for a (very) short time to add to dance and competitive twirling repertoire, but...
