My Trip To Gedderts Twistars 2011! (Part 1)

[miskaffon]

My daughter's third meet ever was in this complex right next door to the gym; it was REALLY nice!!!

[cwaykid2]

I had a dream John Geddert was my coach! I WISH!!!! :)

[Megzer1992]

thanks for the great footage. I was just wondering what kind of camera do you use to capture this?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@Megzer1992 No problem! I use a nixon coolpix! :)

[cwaykid2]

Is "The Summit" a mall or something? And is there gym in it?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@cwaykid2 Its not a mall, its a gym, a hockey arena, pro shop, etc. The gym is in the Summit. Thats why it is in this video!

[cwaykid2]

Does Kamerin moore still do gymnastics?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@cwaykid2 Yes she does, she's a level 10 and has been having lots of problems with injuries!

[cmbjimcallaway]

At 0:05, is the gym in there?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@cmbjimcallaway that would be why its in this video! :)

[flipflopgymnast12]

[emilynv23]

i meant thts



[emilynv23]

thx soooo cool theres alot of people that broke their legs though lol i have a broken wrist from gymnastics now

[1ShawnJohnson1]

Why'd you go to Twistars? Did they just...let you in?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@1ShawnJohnson1 Well I asked John if I could watch and he said yeah! Soo...why not? haha

[1ShawnJohnson1]

@gymnasticsfan14 That's cool! Do you like, know him personally...or did you just call and ask?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@1ShawnJohnson1 I emailed him

[1ShawnJohnson1]

@gymnasticsfan14 That's awesome!

[mandykay181]

I remember going here for gymnastics camp once.... it was rough

[CLeighS459]

i deffinetly agree with @rickou2 about the parents sitting in, me being from the uk theres hardly any gyms with a sitting room where parents can watch, my gym for example has one and we have a HUGE problem at the moment with the parents

[rickou2]

I can't believe the parents are there during the whole training, commentating, chatting, having coffee or working on their computer, just like it's a bar or a lounge !!!

[gymnasticsfan14]

@rickou2 Why is that hard to believe? There waiting for their kids to get out of practice so their there for at least 2 hours or more!

[rickou2]

@gymnasticsfan14 Well in almost every gym I know the parents are never allowed to assist to the trainings, because as soon as they do you can be sure there are problems.

During the trainings they can go shopping for example, or do whatever they want outside the gym. And If they have to wait, then there is usually a waiting room separate from the training room.

So I am very surprised you do that in USA. I am in Europe, different culture, different mentality I suppose...

[gymnasticsfan14]

@rickou2 Oh well maybe that's why! I don't know a gym that dosnt have a sitting area where parents can watch!

[tumbles022]

Thanks for this! What happened to Kamerin!? She just got healthy! That stinks! I do like the color of her cast, though.

[gymnasticsfan14]

@tumbles022 No problem! :) And I'm not sure...I'm just assuming she did somthing in practice and she wasnt fully recovered!

[22umbrellas]

Thanks for sharing! Jordyn is looking great.

What's the song in this part, if you don't mind my asking? I've actually been looking for it forever but I could never figure out what it's called...

[gymnasticsfan14]

@22umbrellas No problem! & I agree :) The song is called Kernkraft 400 or somthing similar to that! :D

[22umbrellas]

@gymnasticsfan14 Thank you!

[TheGymnasticsgirl95]

Her leap is a switch side half and rated D

[marushk161]

@TheGymnasticsgirl95 OK, I haven't seen the movie... If it's Johnson 1/2, it's definitely a D. A great leap though!

[TheGymMaster01]

i think she'll be doing bars and beam, those are the two events gymnasts seem to do when they dont want to risk injury. im excited to see her on the today show! thanks for the video

[marushk161]

Nice to see Jordyn's new skills :) and please can you upload the second part without the music? I can't watch it in Germany...

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 Well It took me forever to upload these videos. Idk if I really want to go through all that trouble again! Maybe someday I will.....

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 ok, no problem :)

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 All part 2 is is Jordyn's beam routine and some extra little things like stretching from the end of her practice! Maybe later on today I'll play another song with it so it will work in Germany! :)

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 thanks, that's kind from you :) I hope to see her in the Olympics... she's really great! And do you know something about her bars? I heard she has a hindorff in works... and a new dismount would be great too!

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 I unfortunatly didnt get to see her bars. But I have heard rumors about her doing a hindorff. & she is trying to get her double twisting double dismount back. Since she's grown alot its been hard for her!

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 Wow, I would like to see her doing double double again! But maybe she should do the tucked one.

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 Yeah it might be easier. But with her body style its more likely she'd do the laid out one! I also love her new Triple Twist on beam. She had good form & it looks great!

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 I absolutely love her twisting too! Feet not crossed, nice height and great speed on every apparatus. Great she does a triple off beam now! She'll have a pretty high difficulty at all...

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 Yeah, she also has some new smaller connections. Like she does a back handspring out of her full twist & she does a full turn out of her full turn with the leg held up. and she also upgraded her Johnson leap. I dont know if its called somthing else, or whats its worth but its pretty much a Johnson leap with a full turn!

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 Wow, that leap is a new element, isn't it? I haven't ever seen a gymnast perform some kind of switch leap with full turn on beam! The full turn out of her turn with the leg held up she did at classics last year and at some other meets were always somehow shaky that she lost more for the wobble than she gained with the combination. I hope it will be better now! And nice that she's connecting her tucked full to something... I haven't seen her wobble on that skill in 2011!

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 Yeah its pretty interesting. I've never seen it before! But its a Johnson split leap with a full turn! And yeah she did the little turn out of the full turn with the leg up at Classics. But its back in her routine now! And yeah I'm glad she's connecting the tucked full too!

[marushk161]

@gymnasticsfan14 I think the leap will be rated with an E and I hope it'll be named after her. Do you know which two events she's planning to compete at Classics in July? I think beam and floor.

[gymnasticsfan14]

@marushk161 I'm not sure. But I would assume beam & floor and it could maybe be bars. (Thats usually what the girls do when they dont want to hurt themselves before nationals) I'm also so excited she's gonna be on the Today Show! :) I was gonna change the music on my video like I told you but then I realized Germany is the only country its blocked in so I dont really wanna change the music BUT my sister volleyballgurly15 will also be uploading pretty much the same footage w/o music! Okay? :D

[emilysgotchalk]

lucky you got to see JordAN!!!!!

[gymnasticsfan14]

@emilysgotchalk Yeahh. I've seen & met her alot though since we live like a half an hour away from each other!

[fgymnastm12]

Cool! why did you go there though?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@fgymnastm12 To watch Jordyn, Grace, & Kamerin (who I didn't realize was injured) train!

[fgymnastm12]

@gymnasticsfan14 Cool but John let you come in and film?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@fgymnastm12 Yeah I asked him & he said it was okay. I didn't tell him I was recording but I don't think he cared because he & all the girls saw me doing it but didn't say anything so..

[USAgymnast52]

wow thanks for getting this!!! this is recent right? i cannot believe kamerin is injured again!!!!! talk about bad luck! does anyone know why? but jordyn is looking great!

[gymnasticsfan14]

@USAgymnast52 Your welcome! :) and yeah it's from Thursday! Kamerin was fine last month at JO nationals so

I'm assuming she hurt herself again In training! :( I have part 2 uploading right now with her updated beam routine & more! :)

[USAgymnast52]

@gymnasticsfan14 thats such a shame bc kamerin has gone through so much already!! she just doesnt seem to get a break!! and awesome!! ill be sure to watch part 2!
