I did gymnastics for 8 years and i loved it so much... i wanted to continue on with it so bad but that dream was crushed because i have severe scoliosis and another disorder that goes to all my ligaments making them really loose. Yes it does make me more flexible, but it also makes me more prone to by bones breaking... D:
You can say the exact same for cheerleading i fight everyday for a new skill and fall on my face all the time fight to not cry because crying means giving in i watch other people get the skill i want and still manage to be happy for them i watch somebody take the spot i wanted on a team and still am happy for them and i fight against the stress of getting the skills i need to get where i wanna be everyday it is just as hard if not harder cause remember we have to trust each other with our lives
okay since when did this video become a video about cheerleading and kickboxing and swimming.... this video is about how mentally and physically hard this sport is and the challenge of it. IT IS NOT ABOUT ANY OTHER SPORTS! so please take your comments back to videos about the sport you are agruing about.. and FYI a judge actually ruled that cheerleading was NOT a sport. so just shut up and dont try to agrue with gymnasts... they will always win!
@josiendkayl yh i used to do cheerleading till the choach started calling me my sister amy n chelsae a bitch so i just stuck to gymnastics ( i used to do both but now i only do gymnastics n dance )
I'm also a swimmer now, and believe me swimming is Dangerous too!! We have had people get surgery, and now I have to get it. I know gymnastics is dangerous because I used to do it, but, swimming and cheerleading is just as dangerous! There is no need to be disrespecting us, because we are expected to respect gymnasts, cheerleaders need the love and respect given back to us from you gymnasts that we give to you. And @ 909me1, I definitely agree with you about kickboxing being dangerous. (:
@909me1 'dude' theres no need to be rude im not dispecting gymnastics. actually yes i have badly sprained my neck when i was kicked in the head and my head spun round thankyou. ive also slipped several dics in my back from being kicked. im sure both sports are equally hard so theres no need to be difficult. anyway theres all different types of kickboxing so your sister probably doesnt do the same type as me.. whats her name? kickboxings a small world so i will know who she is if shes an elite
okay, I'm a gymnast now, and i was a cheerleader also, but gymnastics is definately more challenging, if we stuff up a tumbling pass we rely on ourselves to not hurt ourself or to land properly but cheerleaders have what 4 or 5 people under them to catch them? you go watch a cheerleading competition then go watch a gymnastics competition cheerleaders really only care about how they look when performing and their tumbles are terrible shapes.
@chloo100 There are a bunch of cheerleaders that only care about how they look, but believe me there are more who don't. So please do not disrespect cheerleaders we are athletes and we fall and get hurt too. It's not alll about gymnastics
i'm sure gymnastics is an incredibly tough sport and it looks amazing but it frustrates me when people say its the hardest/toughest sport. i'm a kickboxer, and to be honest the training for that is relentless and i'm pretty sure you can get much more hurt by doing kickboxing fighting or forms that gymnastics.
@alisonknorris dude, kickboxing is like petting bunnies compared to gymnastics, I'm an elite gymnast, and I ask you have you ever broken your bak kickboxing? Badly sprained your neck? no well I have. I spen eight to twelve hours in the gym every day, amoung other things. Shadow a gymnast and then go back to your cushy little boxing ring, youll find your life easier than u think. My sis is an elite kick boxer andf even she agrees elite gynastics trumps all!!
well personally im pretty much sure that gymnastics is more dangerous and demanding. because in cheerleading there is tumbling, of course, but other dangerous stunts are done with support of teammates. and imagine falling from the air when it;s not even you who jumps so can adjust the muscles before falling. and then imagine for example an arabian dismount or double sommersault on the bars. even a gienger which doesnt really look that dangerous cost many gymnasts a career-ending spine injury
i think gymnastics is harder and more dangerous because in cheerleading you just do floor and in gymnastics you do vault beam floor and bars and it deffidently requires more flexibility strenght and mental toughness and i was a cheerleader when i was younger and then i started gymnastics and soccer
@acacheerleader1 ok so cheerleading hard and the ppl in ur gym probably are show offs but gym is a really hard sport lol have u read what GymFloozie put? :P
wow this is so me i just " upped my diffucutly and it seems like i just stared gymnastics for the first time ): it really get down especcisly since ive made gymnastics my whole life .
Gymnastics was my life..I <3ed it. I can't do gymnastics anymore.. Its a drug its an addiction. An injury that can't be healed.. My chances at the olympics are completely over.. It sucks I broke an ankle, permanent nerve damage, bone disease from it, and im paralyzed.. no matter how much i watch this it doesnt help.. be greatful you still can do gymnastics. You dont have to feel bad because u lost something for ever... Started gymnastics when i was 2.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm a cheerleader and it's been voted the most dangorous sport. i know people say it's gymnastics but believe me it's not. and no offense to the gymnasts out but i think that there is a bunch of showoffs in gymnastics. but like nastia and shawn and them i have nothing against them, but some of the ones at my gym are showoffs.
@acacheerleader1 Cheerleading may very well be the most dangerous sport. I'm a gymnast and gymnastics is the hardest sport emotionally, mentally and physically challenging!! Please note that you can't judge EVERYONE is the sport of gymnastics as show offs because not everyone is. Sure there are a few that are stuck up. Think about it... people can judge cheerleaders the same!
@acacheerleader1 um excues me but gymnastics is by far more harder! ther r four events! training 20 plus hours a week! do skills that could possibly kill u! when ur a upper level gymnastu havenolife!urlifeisin the gym all the time! Therefore gymnasatics is harder than stupid cheerleading!
@ZebraOutfitters I don't know what you think you are doing by calling cheerleading stupid, because it's not! I know your life is in the gym when you're a gymnast, like I said i was a gymnast! So before you go judging cheerleading, think about how hard it actually is!
@acacheerleader1 y dont u think how hard gymnastics is i used to be a cheerleader there is always someone to support u aint there yes thats what i thought
@acacheerleader1 All sports are equal in difficulty. I am an Equestrian and work with 1500 pound horses everyday. Each sport has their own way of being mentally and physically challenging. I deal with an animal that has a mind of it's own and if he had the chance he could crush every bone in my body. I show jump and barrel race. My horse and I jump 4 and half foot fences and go mach 3 around an arena. Everybody has their own opinion of what they think is dangerous. You need to think.
im a gymnas myself and ive done it since i was 2. so yes i think gymnastics is 1 of the hardest sports. 1 of the reasons is bec of coaches! but other than that its amazing
i have only been in gymnastics for about 2 years... i remember my first meet i forgot like everything in my routines... and i just plain out sucked but now im pretty good. gymnasts go through way more pain than most other sports!!
i have been training since i was 4 i quit for 1 year after breaking wrist and thumb and then got back into it and today i have back problems and i had to get stuff done to my back and i have heal and knee problems
i hate it because when i feel like nothing is never going to get better, you know how like everything is. like when ur sad u want everything else to be sad. you dont want happiness
i landed on my neck awhile back and i cant tumble alot on the floor
On beam... Im the best at my gym... Or one of the best.. And sometimes when I get a skill there's this other girl who is older than me and she gets scared a lot on skills and when I get a skill she has been working on for so long I feel so bad. I can tell in her eyes she's disappointed in herself and maybe something else but I can tell it hurts her and probaly a lot of people at my gym too. Everyone says I'm the "Beam Queen" and sometimes I feel bad :[ I still love it tho :)
I think I first saw the football comparison on a T-shirt worn by a Romanian girl in the gym. I never played football (either football or soccer), but gymnasts go through a lot more hell than football or soccer players. And cheerleading is good for those who want to make a spectacle out of themselves but not give up everything in their lives in order to develop the structure and perfection of gymnastics.
I don't have anything against cheerleading, it's just that sometimes cheerleaders make a big deal out of what they can do - like it's some big thing. Gymnastics is a totally different situation. Gymnasts are possibly the best athletes, overall, on the planet. Comparing cheerleading to gymnastics is like comparing aspirin to heroin.
@GymFloozie Also, of course people will compare gymnastics and cheerleading just because they will do so with anything. To be a competitive cheerleader, like a true competitive cheerleader, you have to give it your all 24/7. you have to live breathe and think it all the time. There were times when I had 8 hour practices due to regular practice and tumbling. It requires just the same commitment as gymnastics does. Please dont hate on our sport because some cheerleaders arent nice to you
You're right with both your comments. I didn't mean to put cheerleaders down - this was so long ago, I don't remember the context of my comments. I know cheerleading is a challenge. I mainly meant I don't think it's close to the challenge of gymnastics. And I'm not a gymnast. Or a cheerleader. I saw that Dakota Fanning is a cheerleader for her school.
@GymFloozie its not at all like comparing aspirin to heroin because think about it cheerleaders are thrown in the air and if theyre not caught it can cause way worse injuries than if a gymnasts falls off a beam. im not saying gymastics isnt hard because it is, im saying that both sports take guts and skill and that if you watch allstar teams such as Top Gun and Cheer Extreme you will see that :)
@GymFloozie i admit that gymnastics is a pretty challenging sport, but so is cheerleading. granted gymnasts have the upper hand when it comes to tumbling in cheerleading but being a good gymnast doesnt necessarily make you a great cheerleader. Judges in competitions hate to see the "gymnast turned cheerleader" type of person. We cheerleaders respect gymnasts and we expect you to respect us as well.
@GymFloozie emmm thats a quote that has obv been made by a cheerlead
y dose everyone have to argue about this dose it really matter ?? no it dose not they are both as equally hard and emotional , i have done 2 of them , y dose this have to end up on every video about gymnastics and cheerleading it annoys me so much i dont c why we cant all agree that they are both hard , they r so diffrent , so there is no point waisting your time arguing , trying to claim that one is better than the other
@GymFloozie its not going to work so dont waste your time ( this message is not just to u its to everyone ) so stop hating on all the sport videos whatch ur sport video and leave a comment on it ( a nice one ) and if it is not the video u want to whatch , then watch anothe but dont leave a bad comment
there are also alot of cheerleaders who r show off , u get show offs everywhere no matter how many times u say it its not going to change , xxxxxxxxx
That is a very beautiful montage, Bravo! 5 stars. I loved the beautifly written sayings and words. They just melt me to a puddle! Once again, BRAVO! ^.^
Yo un día igual quise ser gimnasta así que me puse un buzo y salí a correr a la carretera, ese día casi me atropellaron y al otro dia me dolían todos los músculos, asi que dije nunca más salgo a hueviar, Ni pensar en gimnasia.
what the name of the song i love it! beautiful montage but that's one of the things my friends are scared of me doing those wipouts, but in the end, it's all worth it.
They're not my words, Im sorry if you dont like them and just like watching these young girls dreams crushed but this poem says is the sad truth of the sport.
Keego666: ignore bunnierabbits - he/she/it is a f***ing moron. Thank you for this beautiful video AND the beautiful ENCOURAGING words. This sport is so much more difficult than most people realize. Very few make it to the absolute top, but all try and sacrifice and become better people because of it.
wOW! I am a gymnast, and that really shows gymnastics at its hardest! Its so beautiful and it really makes people think about gymnastics in a different way! Keep up the good work!
this is beautifull it shows what REAL gymnasts go through pain, sweat and humiliation,i was in a competition i was tumbling into a double backflip fell and broke a leg i got off the stage and do you know what my coach said? you did'nt point your toes. thank you for doing this, you show what we have to go through so that you can see OUR bodies bend ans twist too perfection on that t.v screen. thanx xxxx molemole
yah that is so true when i keep falling my coach says, "really when are you going to try that sucked" and i feel burned but i keep going till she is proven wrong and the move is perfected
This is really a great montage...:) I can find myself in it... When I had an accident, and lost the feeling in 3 toes, I tried to keep on going. And now I'm Gymnast again, and I'm in a showteam. I can even jump over a car!
and i think in life we are all searching for the best.. and i think perfection!!!=] if life was perfect what would life be today! no death,lies,hatred ,hurt but thats what makes us human
gymnasts we get told over and over again to get your legs straight point ur toes.we are working for something that doesn't exist, perfection!sometimes i think that i am crazy for being in so much pain, tears, sweat and i always change my mind even when i think that i am going to quit and it will all go away i try to imagine life without gymnastics...
this video is so good. it gets right to the point of what every gymnast goes tho every day... yeah people can think that what we do is easy.. well they need a wake up call. and even tho their is always someone with a clip board telling you that its not good enough
you can always tell yourself that they are wrong and thats just their opinion.
i love it & i can relate to it i watch all these videos of amazing gymnasts and think to myself 'why aren't i going for this move when they can so easily go for that!' people think gymnastics is easy and this video proves them wrong!! well done it's fantastic!!!! xx :)
O and one more thing....even when you do the immpossible there is always one person with their little clip board and pen saying is that the best you can do? I loved it ; 0)
I did gymnastics for 8 years and i loved it so much... i wanted to continue on with it so bad but that dream was crushed because i have severe scoliosis and another disorder that goes to all my ligaments making them really loose. Yes it does make me more flexible, but it also makes me more prone to by bones breaking... D:

Yo un día igual quise ser gimnasta así que me puse un buzo y salí a correr a la carretera, ese día casi me atropellaron y al otro dia me dolían todos los músculos, asi que dije nunca más salgo a hueviar, Ni pensar en gimnasia.

They're not my words, Im sorry if you dont like them and just like watching these young girls dreams crushed but this poem says is the sad truth of the sport.
keego666 3 years ago
Keego666: ignore bunnierabbits - he/she/it is a f***ing moron. Thank you for this beautiful video AND the beautiful ENCOURAGING words. This sport is so much more difficult than most people realize. Very few make it to the absolute top, but all try and sacrifice and become better people because of it.

this is beautifull it shows what REAL gymnasts go through pain, sweat and humiliation,i was in a competition i was tumbling into a double backflip fell and broke a leg i got off the stage and do you know what my coach said? you did'nt point your toes. thank you for doing this, you show what we have to go through so that you can see OUR bodies bend ans twist too perfection on that t.v screen. thanx xxxx molemole
molemole556 4 years ago 2

it really shows the hardships of gymnastics but it doesnt make it seem bad. just hard but in the end it can be very rewarding!
plus I love that song.
hellokitty446 4 years ago
This is really a great montage...:) I can find myself in it... When I had an accident, and lost the feeling in 3 toes, I tried to keep on going. And now I'm Gymnast again, and I'm in a showteam. I can even jump over a car!
BTW: I have feeling in my toes again :D

and i think in life we are all searching for the best.. and i think perfection!!!=] if life was perfect what would life be today! no death,lies,hatred ,hurt but thats what makes us human
2691116 4 years ago
gymnasts we get told over and over again to get your legs straight point ur toes.we are working for something that doesn't exist, perfection!sometimes i think that i am crazy for being in so much pain, tears, sweat and i always change my mind even when i think that i am going to quit and it will all go away i try to imagine life without gymnastics...
2691116 4 years ago
this video is so good. it gets right to the point of what every gymnast goes tho every day... yeah people can think that what we do is easy.. well they need a wake up call. and even tho their is always someone with a clip board telling you that its not good enough
you can always tell yourself that they are wrong and thats just their opinion.
2691116 4 years ago
its really good
most ppl say ..." oh cool she can do a flip.. w.e" but they dont no the pain we go through to learn to that flippppp..:P
