gymnastics and skating practices dec.9

[GYMGIRL463]

why do you have the whole gym to you and your coach

[Emma7639]

Cuz it's a Sunday and no one else is there on Sundays really except for this one cheerleading team that practices on the floor.

[Emma7639]

thank you!

[antibaka6502]

You're really lucky to be able to take skating and gymnastics and get such good training. And you must be really dedicated too, to practice all the time even if you're tired or in pain...I'm a wimp with that kind of stuff.

[cherylrox72]

your are so good in this WOW!

keep up the good work! OK ?

[platypusinchucks]

no problem.

[platypusinchucks]

ahem. well. that was incredibly rude. how could you say something like that? laura has lots of talent. and if your coach cares about that stuff, its his/her own problem. laura is amazing, and that comment was just mean.

[Emma7639]

thank you, i decided to delete the comment though. I appreciate you standing up for me.

[flyingspiral15]

hey you are doing so good in gymnastics! your coach must be pretty happy that u are already flexible! ps. how many times a week do u skate and do gym?

[Emma7639]

Um.. right now I do gymnnastics twice a week, one is a group class and one is a private, and I skate.. maybe 4-5 times if I'm lucky, but more like 3 these days.

[IOJD]

[xkikixx]

kooolio..

[JuliaFunghy]

Do you do gymnastics for figure skating?

[Emma7639]

Nope, I do it for me. I've just always wanted to do it, so I asked my parents and they agreed. :)

[figuresk8ali]

hi, firstly im very impressed with all your skating + gymnastics! i skate and i think it would help me to do a bit of gymnastics. i'm farely flexible already (can do splits etc.) but feel gymnsatics would help. how did u go about starting gymnastics to combine with skating? i would realy apreashate your advice. thank you, happy skating haha! x

[Emma7639]

Well I'm doing it totally separate from my skating, I wanted to start because I've always wanted to try gymnastics. I just researched online for the best/closest gym near me and asked my parents if I could take some lessons and they said yes, so.. here I am. lol. I also convinced my friend to go to a group lesson every week with me at a different gym so that's fun for me because I can share my sport with one of my close friends.

[figuresk8ali]

thank you... it's has helped a lot! x

[iceskater2007]

Was that a cartwheel on a low bar? If so, wow! When I was little, I really wanted to take gymnastics. My dad wouldn't let me because he said it was too dangerous. If he knew how much I fall on my jumps ice skating, he might make me quit. :(

ROFL at the fall on the back outside pivot.

[Emma7639]

yeah it was. I think I did about 60 of them before I was able to stick it.. lol I was so happy. I did 4 really good ones. yeah I thought it was funny too.. haha

[randomness500]

wow ur so lucky u get to take gymnastics too! ur really good at it :) and the skating looked good too

[lulileeto]

omg you are soo strong and flexi I wish I could do split jumps and stuff like that lol I cant even do the splits!!! also can I borrow your spirals for a while? haha :D

[ArtsieFartsie]

wow! Your doing so well! x) Cartwheels look like sooo much fun! :]

[yutubess]

you kno how you were doing rotations on the tramp? is that for skating practise or is it actually something u do in gymnastics?

damn i wish i still had my tramp! lol

[Emma7639]

That's for gymnastics. I guess because on floor and beam you do rotation jumps in the form of split jumps or twisting layouts.. stuff like that.

[morgail]

The trampoline looks like fun!! :) But jumping on the beam looks scary to me. You look like you're doing great with gymnastics! Nice backspins too. I was struggling with mine today.

[RBCI]

are you skating again??? waaahhooo!!! :P

[morgail]

yup:) I can't jump for a few more weeks though. But it's SO nice to be able to skate!

[ShannonStrawberries]

Nice back spins! Tips? Your amazing at gymnastics...I suck! lol

[RBCI]

Cool!! Gymnastics looks like fun!!.. I did gymnastics when I was 8 for a few months... but that was soooo long ago :P The only thing I can do anymore on bars are kickovers and back hip circles... and a cartwheel on the floor.. lol.... and that's about it :P

Your skating looked good too, but the clip was too short! :P

Anyway, you're very talented! :)

[mizzi101]

Do you have private gymnastic lessons?? It looked like it was just you! lol.

I also liked how you were practicing cartwheels on that bar on the floor! It looks good!

Oh, and your spiral and backspin is looking really good! The back spin so soooo good!!

[Emma7639]

yeah i'm taking two privates a week in addition to my two skating lessons.. I know its a lot haha.

[iceskater2007]

How long are your skating lessons?

[Emma7639]

Um.. usually 45 minutes.

[axeldreams]

Yay! New video!

OMG! I want to do that jump thing too where you spin in the air. O_O That's so awesome. &Your backspins rock.

Isn't today the 9th by the way? :P

[Emma7639]

lmao yes it is... haha.
