[WinstonsGirl]

standing bus - 28
running bhs - 29
ro tuck - 32
full - Bahahahahaha!!! I'm old!! Working on lays though, and threw my first fulls into the pit for fun over Christmas. Off of a mini tramp though.

It all clicked for me when I started getting older and our team started getting more tumblers. I realized if I want to keep cheering, I better learn faster. I also got over my mental block too, and am more willing to just try things and trust my spotters. When your time starts running out faster, you get over the fear of it faster. I feel like I'm hitting a tumbling wall at the moment though

I was 10the first time I did a bhs. It was during my first yr of cheer! and 'threw' my first full when I was 16...haha had lots of injoures since then so I'm still working on making it better. But I have lvl 1-4 specialty with the exception of whip layout. And I have jumps to tuck

Yay! This thread has given me hope! My daughter got her BHS at 15, got badly injured a month later and now at 16 is trying to get it back. She thinks she's the only person on earth over 10 who can't throw one. I'm going to show her this!

I feel like that sometimes too! I first threw mine when I was 15, then I lost it. Now I am 16 and trying to get it back!
