yea ... that can be annoying :no: ... i almost hit a person who i thought would stop. but the kid just kept walking across the runway without even seeing if anyone was doing a run through.

I'd like to second that sentiment

and add another annoyance: injuries that don't go away and can't be explained

People who say they have shin splints.

You don't have shin splints, true shin splints are FAR worse than some pain in your leg when you run.

Oh Sammie, there will be better days and the sport loves you and you love it. Injuries will come and go, unfortunatly they come more than go sometimes:(... I am glad you are a part of Pvp!

My Pet peaves:

1) The dudes who say, "check out my "video clips" click here." Like we are going to watch all 100+ however many videos there are of you clearing 13ft. If you want help with the vault paste 1 video and get to training!!!

2) People who say there junior high PR was about 2 ft higher than it really is... Come on man there are a few 8th graders that go 13-13'6'' and the ones that do go that high we know of... You don't have to try and convince us every week. (You know who you are!)

1.i hate when theres all tht water in the pit tht u gotta scoop out.
2.i also hate when new kids come to u at practice and wanna learn and then a couple days later they decide its too hard even after u give up all tht practice time to help them, and they quit.
3.i hate it when people think their technic is the only right way


im kinda new here, and young, so if u got any tips or anything useful plz message me!
also message me if u live near ashland ohio.

1 - people who talk to a coach while laying on the matt after a vault....
2 - too many people on the run way during training...
