the bandaid is causing the bleeding. if you stick the tape to the skin it will act like an extra skin and you'll be able to continue. I hope that helps. Keep up the good work.
Wow those kips are fantastic!! I had my kip, but I lost it and I have a feeling its do to strength. Is there any exercises you can recommend for me to do at home to get the skill back? :)
@xxgymnastxx97 Thank you. As far as recommended exercises, if you have a pull up bar, I would do pull ups and hanging leg raises. Otherwise, try v-ups, hollow body rocks, and lots of different push up variations. Good luck! I'm sure you'll get it back in no time.
i dont have anywhere to local to practice. There is some playground equipment at the other side of town thats suitable. But havent cycled over that way for a while. always slightly nervous i will be arrested. 44 year old swining around on kiddies playground....:-(
Laura, seriously you are kick-ass strong and just the cutest thing. I do understand that you've not reached your goals with this. But I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to do that!
@thekimbakimba2 Thanks Kimba! I'm sure you've got the strength to do a kip. Now just find a bar, about shoulder height high, and work your jump to glide first. I'll coach you from a far.
@borky74 I am always surprised when I see video of myself. I think damn you look strong, but I still can't do what I want to do. And that's what this is about for me. There is a level of physical capability that I am trying to achieve--I want my wings back.
Very impressive that you can still do those skills in the fashion that you do them. I remember how much training it took before both of my daughters hit their first kip and it looks sooo much easier than it is.
Get those grips girl and keep on truck'n...ha, ha...
@BRETZERR Thanks for your nice comments. Kips are tricky to learn, requiring timing, coordination and strength. But, once you have the skill it's a bit like riding a bike. And making things look easier than they are....that's the game of gymnastics. "Don't let them see that it hurts." Perfection must look effortless.
