Watch

Get ready for NCAA season to start! Here’s one of my favorite routines from last year, it’s Oklahoma’s Brie Olson on uneven bars. Hit handstands all over the place and a stuck full twisting double layout to cap it all off!

Design #3 Arrives!

I’ve implemented Design #3 - Blue option! So everyone remembers, this is what Design #2 (grey/white) looked like: And of course, Design #1 is the original rainbowy design I’ve always had. I’ll put that one up again at the end so you all can remember what it looks like! Thanks again for the input :)

A Few of Your Favorite Things?

So, as the new year approaches, I’ve been thinking about a few of my favorite gymnastics things from 2010.

I've Got A Mission For You.....

Hey readers! So I’ve been thinking lately about switching up the blog design. Not that I don’t love this rainbowy thing (I do. I like rainbows!), I just feel like switching it up for a while! But I am indecisive, and so I decided to reach out to you guys, who see this background more than I do, for your opinions! Over the next few days, I’ll be putting up four different...

I have a question!

Who, out of all the currently active gymnasts, would you like to see interviewed? It can be someone very famous, such as Alicia Sacramone, or a younger athlete, like a Junior! So, who do you think?

VANESSA ZAMARRIPA OUT OF 2011 SEASON →

Such a shame, Zam is great! I am, however, looking forward to seeing how this changes the lineups Ms Val puts out! They have so many people on that roster….maybe Allison Taylor can finally break into the lineups? Sorry Zam….hope it heals quickly :) lollynyc: SHE TORE HER ACHILLES AND WILL HAVE TO MISS 2011. I’m pretty sure I’m more devastated than she is….

I’m sure anyone who has had their first pair of grips will sympathize with me…breaking them in is an awkward transition period! #ARGH
