Yep I was a gymnast. I started when I was 5 and quit the very beginning of my freshman year. I finally realized that I was too tall for gymnastics and I wasn't getting any better because of it. A year and a half later I started pole vaulting and now my height is actually an advantage :yes:

yep, for 8 years....started when i was seven, quit at the end of the season when i was 14...so 2 years ago....oddly enough, i can do some gymnastics stuff better now than i could when i was IN gymnastics...like an aerial cartwheel (thats a cartwheel w/o hands for the gymnastics-illiterate

)...could barely do that when i was required to (7th year of gymnastics), on that bouncy spring floor, and now i can do one on a high school gym floor (which does have a tiny bit of spring to it, but it might as well be concrete compared to a gymnastics floor)...go figure *shrug*

no, but now in college we train twice a week in the gymnastics room. Lots of high bar drills, rings, ropes, and then we play around on the tramps and stuff. its good fun, but im always sore as crap the next day

I don't do gymnastics, mainly because i'm way to busy with school since i'm a freshman in high school. I'm also in track and in rodeo. I live 2 hours away from the nearest gymnastics gym. I live in a town of 400 people so our polevault system is kinda bad. Basically if you want to polevault you teach your self. I made it to state last year in South Dakota class "b". I cleared 8ft. as an 8th grader. Sometimes our coach will watch us vault but usually he's outside with the other track kids, so we dont' get any special attention.
