The truth about gymnastics (Original Version)

[shadowgirl1300]

*sacrificing*

[yappertrap]

as king Salomon said striving after the wind......what's the point? I can barely walk due to sports as a kid. they dress them up in tight clothes work them till they are in pain to win a medal? is that whats it's about....vanity!

[coachgeo]

@yappertrap So either you had some A-holes for coaches with egos the size of mountains orrrrrrr.... your own personality see's a glass half empty. My guess is the latter.

Look above the water instead of below it and you just might find some happy times.

[vannegymnast]

that was an amaizing video!

[anniegirl1216]

Gymnastics means so much to me. It is my favorite thing to do in whole world and it's a good thing we practice so much because those are the best hours of my week. I don't think my parents or friends understand how much it means to me, only other gymnasts know what its like to love something so much.

[AlmightyOwl]

where's the footage at 2:00 from?

[gymnasticsbabie]

@AlmightyOwl its a fluff on chellsie memmel.. from 2005 i think?

[AlmightyOwl]

@AlmightyOwl Thanks :)

[Baddogymnastics]

I'm also a Male GYmnast and gymnastics its all whats in this video but most off all have fun in it and just love it otherways you never become good in it

Love the video

[RockinThaSoLows]

beautiful

[Iwasapony25]

I'm an equestrian and it is a very tough sport. But, I do believe that gymnastics is one of the toughest sports ever.

[anastasiax1000]

im not the besy gymnest in the world or the best ballarina but i dont have to be to know that its hard i doing 2 classes of gymnastics a week and 2 classes of ballet a week (i know not alot) and i dont care how much it hurts thats y i love this montage because it shows u every thing is not as easy as it looks and im happy say that gymnastics is about "loveing waht u do do and doing what u love"

[nikkigymnast94]

it's this and so much more.

[mugglegymnast94]

everything is completely right,

i completely loved it

[gymnasticgirl006]

thats my gym at 4:15 !! great montage btw X

[Nikskiii]

WOW! I like it,

everything is true

[gymnast051497]

i completely agree with VQgymnastics and AlmightyOwl. it doesnt matter wat ur age is or what level u r in. im 12 almost and in level 5. it really matter s that u r working ur hardest and u r proud of yourself no matter wat any1 else says cuz if they make fun of u 4 being tht age and in a certain level it doesnt matter cuz if u work hard u will reah ur goal.

4 ALL THE GYMNASTS

ROCK ON AND KEEP IT UP!!!!!

[l8rg8r13]

ok, who is that girl at 2:51?

i keep on seeing her in all these diff vids..

its really bugging me

[kitcat2400]

@l8rg8r13 itsa nicole harris she trained at parkettes and was supposed to go to the olympics but got injured not to long before

[Zoeskyez]

i once saw that cnn report on the little girl in pink with crutches... where can i see the whole thing?

[kitcat2400]

@Zoeskyez type in parkettes gymnastics documentary or somethin like tht there are like 10 of them and there pretty long!

[AlmightyOwl]

12 years old is a perfectly fine age to be in level 7.. in fact, you must be very talented... i know there are other gymnasts out there who are higher levels but you can't compare yourself to them you have to look at your own accomplishments... i am 13 and only in level three, i worked hard to get there, aim not a natural gymnast, and as long as i do my best i am proud of myself. I'm not a very high level in coomparison, but as long as you work hard, do your best, and try what does it matter XD

[EhUkAiLaNi808]

thank you finally people realizes that gymnastics is hard i bet you work really hard and i am the oldest on my team and im very tall but i dont care because at least we are getting excersise and doing what we love

[GymnastForever1983]

Im 11 and Im level 8 but my friend is my age and she is Novice shes awesome

[EhUkAiLaNi808]

me too!!

[XxXxjeorgia]

level7gymnastics, level 7 is really gd!!!!! how long have you been doing gymanstics? im 12 and in level 7 and im in the best group and nearly every1 in my gropu is level 7 so u go beat those 11 year olds!!

[LosingTheConnection]

im 13 and im only in level 6, so age doesnt really matter (unless your gunna be elite, olympics)

its all about the skills and the hours you put in to perfect them.

gymnastics is the best (LLL)

[kitcat2400]

well dont feel bad im 13 and in level5 because i was injured 3/4 of the competiton season last year!

[level7gymnastics]

Hey guys im 12 years old and in level 7.........i get fustrated A LOT all my teamates are younger then me and soooo much better. there is only 1 14 year old girl the rest are like 10 and 11 so i try to stay tough... but do you think 12 years old is the right age to be in level 7?? PLEASE BE HONEST doesnt matter if youu say sometihng rude i JUST GOTTA KNOW

[hindikoalamilalagay]

age doesnt matter really...it just depends on when you start doin it...oh and ur so young and in level 7 already....you must be lucky and just enjoy the moment^^..

[Megzer1992]

age doesn't matter, as long as you love it, do it.

[VQgymnastics]

it really doesnt matter im 13 and a level 7. one of the girls on my team is a level 8 and she is 16 age doesnt matter becuase eventually you will get whereyou been trying to go for so long.

[flopsyandcottontail]

Yeh, I think that's fine cos you still have time to do all of the levels and get better :)

[lollipop57xx]

this is accurate but im younger and not as advanced so0o i dont go through all the pain really i just have fun

[aerialsgymgirl]

My coach had shown me this video and i absolutly fell in love with it, it actually makes me emotional!! Awesome job!!

[zoethezebra]

okay i know this sounds kinda weird but today at practice i was really afraid to go for my bhs bhs on beam and then i thought about this video and it motivated me and i DID IT! wooooo lol.

[Evanescing]

This was amazing. 5 stars and added as a favorite =) Nice music choice as well. Love that song.

[gymnasticsweetheart]

This video is amazingly accurate, and beautifuly made. Good job.

[dancingrl5678]

perfect 10.0

[IGotYourNoseTV]

wow... everything is about right except for the fact that gymnastics isnt only girls

[olimpiadas15]

u know i am 16 and i wish i could go back to gymnastics.. do you thinks its late?

[hindikoalamilalagay]

no^^

[gymnasticsislove123]

never!!! lol :)

[x3SummerNightsx3]

sooooooooooooooo truee. you hit this right on the spot! great montage with great sayings and a great choice of clips [[=

[XOXO7gymnast7XOXO]

oops! i acidentally used the same words! but i didn't steal! my friend told them to me!!

[gymgirl131]

some of the sayings are not true :@

[CatherineEvansOx]

Yeahh You Have This Spot On :)

Great Video x.

[eve9206]

I love this montage for a milion of reasons, but what I like most about it is that you've used videos showing not just super famous elite gymnasts, but also how regular children train. :P

[Alexianow]

every phrases it's copied of another montage baaaaaaah¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¬_¬

[gymnasticsbabie]

no it was originally mine, everyone copied off of mine, the credits should show at the end that it was originaly mine and if they don't than we have a copyright issue

[jocavela]

@gymnasticsbabie i just saw your video you are write they copided you

[FanDubGirl01]

i'd really love to start gymnastics but i already dance 2 different dance styles and we really need to save movey if we wanna go to thailand next winter, but someday maybe..

[BonesEater]

'it's about doing the impossible..' gymnastics is one of these sports i perceive as the hardest and the most demanding. Personally, I train at the body building gym. And when it comes to train it's also hard but, for sure, gymnastics is harder, harder, harder and what's more - better :) I had trained acrobatics but just for about 2 months and it was hard. There's no need to prove that gymnastics is even more harder because it's reaching the perfection, the limits of human body. I respect You. x

[WalkThePath87]

funny how many more videos there are like this of women's gymnastics than men's

[iceskater64]

this montage is so true. it is 1 of the best montages I have ever seen! I love it so much!

[FlyersFan7137]

that's a very true video, especially about the pain and tears. but most about chasing your dreams.

[xAvriilBabe]

i keep thinking that gymnastics is just a sport... i'm really decided to do it and train hard.

but when i see these videos, about gymnastics, deal with pain, coaches beeing second parents.

i stay kinda scared. but when i read "it's about chasing your dreams" .

i don't care.

i'm chasing my dreams.

[Megzer1992]

Omg this montage is amazing! It explainjs gymnastics so well! Good job! I love it!

[Astrael1983]

Great video. Really gives you an insight as to how tough it is to be an elite gymnist and the sacrifices you have to make to put yourself in the best position to make it to the top...

[gymnasticsweetheart]

this describes my life. I am a level 10 and next year i will be an elite. You work so hard for that one chance and sometimes things go your way other times they don't. I spend more time at the gym than i do at home and most people would say oh thats terrible but i say not for me because my coaches and teammates are my 2nd family and they make training a joy. So take it froma gymnast gymnastics is a great sport... maybe not always but majority i love it and it's my life! :)

[gymnasticsbabie]

thats very cool! I agree with you, it really is all worth it even if I have to spend so much time at the gym all the time.

[Angel9837]

@gymnasticsweetheart

i know exactly how you feel i do gym too =)

[Lilyluvhorses007]

hey what is the clip at 1:45 from?

[eve9206]

Hey, can somebody please tell who is the gymnast at 0:16? Thanks.

[jessdabest10]

[eve9206]

wow I think this is my new favourite gymnastics montage!

[GymnasticsGurl911]

Thats a great montage!!

[gymshiv]

ironic, saying how coaches become your second parents when, for Chelsie and Nastia they ARE their parents.

[gymnasticsbabie]

i know! i was going to use a clip of like nastia and her dad and i was like wait i said SECOND parents not actual parents. so i did shawn instead

[meepit613]

I love it, only you forgot strength. lol

[gymnasticsbabie]

no i didn't..

[ckgymnast]

[janarulez875]

[janarulez875]

[flipflop678]

dealing with pain is to true! pain in gymnastics is a good thing and bad thing! exercise can be pain that you will eventually be proud of!

[kaywaszo]

LOVE this video everything is so true i used to do gymnastics and got all the way to level 9. Very good at straight to the point if anyone is thinking about doing gymnastics they should watch this to prepare themselves.

[brunetteprincesslucy]

Amazing, love it and everything in it is so true!

[appledancer]

1:59 -- where is the video clip from?

[gymnasticsbabie]

It's chellsie memmel's fluff peice after the 2004 olympics it's from 2005. I'm not sure which meet its from though

[emmieboo50]

i have to agree with thiss all the way.....

i was in gymnastics for 3 years, what they say is all true....

i had to quit because i spraned my left ankle so much and i had a dream that i would be better than all the qymnastis put together...

that dream is out the door i still do gymnastics in my back yard.... i do risk my ankel, and kneck trying to do advaced moves but that is the only way that i can get anger and other emotions and stuff out..

it not easy... but it is fun..

i was in lev 3

[littletumbleweed]

this is one of the best ive seen in quite a while. good job!

I posted a video for those who wanted to have some men's gymnastics training. It's pretty glamorized, but its a start.

[jogymnastics]

haven't ever seen a montage of boys training ever!!!

thnx for the video

[gymnasticsbabie]

im sorry!! i was actually thinking of making a men's gymnastics montage! maybe i'll get started on that..

[jogymnastics]

veryy kool

thnx a lot!!! will you let me know when your finished??

[gymnasticsbabie]

yea sure! i'm having trouble picking a song, let me know if you have any request!

[GymStar2007GSG]

no offense but watching a guy cry and be in pain doesnt really make people feel for whats going on.

[jogymnastics]

well even though it doesn't look all that masculine doesn't mean that we don't cry and aren't in pain. sooo.

[gymnasticsbabie]

no i wasn't going to do a montage of them crying. lol its more about the hard work and dedication and the injuries that they work through. just like girls gymnastics, but now im going to do it of men's gymnastics

[GymStar2007GSG]

ooh lol i was like okay then haha
