Bob Sanders Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'll give it a try. Maybe call the sports director and ask them. It would be kinda cool to be the only guy. :wink: But I would have to be insane good. Not necessarily elite but a little better just to prove that i can be on the team. Any advice right here and now on this would be great as it seems to fit the subject and making another post would be a hassle re-explaining everything. I am working nonstop right now on the "Planche" and " Lever" Progression along with Handstand nonstopI :x (This is supposed to be a "determined face" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Don't set your expections to have to be insanely good as realistic. It takes time. Of course, strength/power, flexibility, and coordination and awareness will help. A good video camera will as well, like one of those handheld ones that cost about 100 dollars.

I mean the men's even do have some same parts as the women event's like the high bar and the vault and the floor routines. What do you think?

Blairbob Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 One of the problems probably has to do with men's scoring vs women's scoring even under HS rules. Different skills are valued differently. I'm not too familiar about how HS rules compete but it seemed a lot like the USAIGC scoring especially in regards to levels. Women's UB isn't Men's HB. Vault settings can be different as well. I wouldn't count on it. If you really want to be like a gymnast and can't, train for polevault or maybe diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sanders Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I am still trying to find a gymnastic gym that gives classes and compete. Fortunately have found 2. One I sent an email to. The other does not have a website. I am hoping this will lead somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Whereabouts are you? You can use USA-gymnastics.org's search function to find gyms in your state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
