Joining Gymnastics club - 09-20-2004, 06:57 AM

Does anyone here do gymnastics?
I have decieded to join a gymnastics club. The main reason I have joined is because i want to have fun on there mushrooms. I want Flares! I can only do 1.5 on ground so i figured a mushroom would help heaps.

Also I think it would be mad fun tryin flips and shit. I recently taught myself backflip so im gettin rid of the fear behind flips. I cant wait, its on this friday, I reckon its gonna be awesome.

Oh well, just thought i would share....anyone else do gym, or thinking of joining one? Or anyone here learn flares/circles on a mushroom.....

There used to be this kid who broke at the place i practise at. He was pretty good for a youngin, I'm pretty sure he did gymnastics too. Gymnastics will help a lot with ur bboying.

See my av? That's me.

If you don't push yourself, you won't get anywhere.

To learn flairs gymnastic style your gonna learn circles first... so dont expect to have flairs quickly.

I love gymnastics... I dont do it, but I love it.

I go 2 a gymnastics class once a week, only because theres a few other guys who break there (or at least try to). The instructers are all shit though, the only guy who has any idea what he's talking about is like 80 years old and has a lazy eye. So he can only give me tips but cant really show me what he means. They gave me a hard time when i first joined because of the safety factor, everything i tried id get shut down for 'progression to fast'. So i acted really cold towards them...now they just leave me alone...they dont even say hello or anythign when i come in.

Dont expect the mushroom to be easy to learn flares on either. Its hard as hell and youve gotta keep your hands in the place whereas on the floor youve got the whole thing to move around on.

But yeah..i recomend taking the class for a while, if its anythign like the gym here where i live you will probably quit soon after.

Well I went and it was fun. BUT.. I couldnt really try anything because i busted my wrist on tuesday, what a bitch. I did have a go at circles on the shroom, but its friggin hard especially with a fucked wrist. Oh well, i will go again when my wrist is better and decide how i like it.

Thumbs up ITS ALL ABOUT THE MAD FLIPS!!! - 05-02-2005, 01:28 AM

Yo Swiper, where in melbourne do you go gymnastics? Coz ive been thinking about joining a club, coz i love filps, especially wen we battle crews and they pull out mad flips, coz our crew doesnt have many flips, apart from wot i do and a few others, ive got front handspring, back handspring, startracks (horizontal spin-flip) erm....almost a gainer and i cant even do back somersaults, so i wanna train them all on safe environments LOL! not my back garden on a small matress! LMAO!!! where is your club man?

Peace.

i go to a gymnastics adult session twice a week here in NZ.
I'm old man at 21 though, and you can do whatever you want and the instructor will help you with whatever, but doesn't really know bboying just gymnastic stuff... but helps with circles a lot!

I go to use the mushroom to learn circles, then was going to try flares on floor, oh and the sprung floor for flips and takes a lot of pain out of falling wrong, and there's a few bboys who go occasionally as well, so they always get me trying something new.
