[cheeseygymnast]

well done! vault was loverly!! if people want to wright mean comments on a video of level one saying its boring! why did you click on lvel one if you thinks its boring!! well done it was awesome!! :)

[TheGirlSparky]

I don't like her

[cheeseygymnast]

@TheGirlSparky i dont like you!

[ebug411]

She's adorable! I'm in gymnastics and I started at her age'

[LisaWalker5]

@buddyisdeadful She's good and 6 years old. Everyone has to start somewhere.

[piercedjewel]

Thanks BKgymnastics - it amazes me as to how many people on youtube started gymnastics when they were 2 years old at level10 as even on other videos you see comments like "I can do that" or "I can do that better" people we all start somewhere! OK off my soapbox now :o)

[BKgymnastics]

SHE IS AMAZING! IF ALL THE HATERS THINK SHE IS THAT BAD THEN WHY DID THEY BOTHER TO KEEP WATCHING!

[buddyisdeadful]

She sucks and shes very slow

[SnootyF]

Oh wow. For a 6 year old and only 6 months she had a really lovely form. *^_^* It's good to here she's still enjoying it, and thanks for the upload. I was just looking around for vids of other kids doing gym for my wee ones to watch because I thought they might enjoy it, so this is really wonderful, especially since there are so few Aus vids around. :)

[piercedjewel]

@LadyHawke9973 Floor and Vault are her favorite apperatus - tomorrow Im buying her a kip bar for home and a beam also

@Cheerbabeforeverable - Thanks yes I think people forget that they all had to start somewhere - if kids were older when they started they might jump a little higher a little more quickly as they would have better co-ordination to start off with (I started her at Cheer and she loves it although now because of Gym she can only do tumbling and Jazz there but she loves it!

[piercedjewel]

Thanks to those who have recently posted and their nice comments - she is now 8 and has spent last term on level 3 and this term jumped to level 4 - Ill get some more video when she has spent a little time in the newer level and starts to learn more of the required skills ... she did cheer leading for a term and does tumbling there also and she has picked up many new skills

[TheCuteypie101]

omg i remember when i use to be a level 1 gymnast know i am a level 9

[LadyHawke9973]

The routine might be 'boring'...but that's just working through the levels and following the prescribed/required compulsories. Meh to those who don't take the time to find that out.

Meantime...regardless of the nits...she's got GORgeous form and style. LOVED her vault landing, and her control on her floor moves.  I bet she's having a blast!!

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

everyones saying she sucks... dude, shes six!!!

i thought it was adorable!

no matter how 'good' the hater commenters are at gymnastics, i GUARENTEE you they did these exact exercises sometime in their lives.

[cherylcolecolecheryl]

she is reALLY BAD

[dnaceralways]

i'm 16 and thinking about starting gymnastics when i move next year so i watched this to see what i'll be doing when i first start...i dance right now and have been doing that for 13 years...i think she is very good for only being 6 and being level one :)

[cutie1gymnast]

people are saying this is boring but she is good for her age and at least she has the courage to go up ther on the beam and do that good job:)))

[TrueBlayder]

calm down, she is only six. Of course she wont be the best. If you don't like this video then don't watch it.

[gabbiedoglover11]

She did great :)

[Umentme]

It is not boring, i am starting level 1 at age 11, because my parents are missionaries, and EVERYONE has to start somewhere, just because the people up there have enough money to start when they are 3 doesn't mean they can call it boring. They clicked on it and it says level 1. They shouldn't right those mean comments.

[QueenofElsweyr]

@Umentme I agree, everyone was once new to gymnastics, I myself am only intermediate, and I'm 12. I had taught myself everything I know, and now I can finally afford gymnastics, it makes me sad when I see other people that are higher levels giving me mean glares because I'm a lower level. It doesn't automatically make you better than someone else.

[Umentme]

It isn't boring, i like to see them because i am now starting level 1, at age 11. : / but i like to know what i will be doing a week from now. :)

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

@Umentme dont worry, i started level one age 13!!!!

[grannystudio]

yah i'm thinking the same as the other dude this is very boring and my sister has been doing gymnastics for six months and is way ahead of her.

[piercedjewel]

@grannystudio She has been doing cheerleading and tumbling now for 2 months and her skills are so much better she has just turned 8 - she is now at level 3 in gymnastics but the tumbling classes at cheerleading has her at a much higher level than her piers at gymnastics ... in the space of 2 months she has gone from unable to do bridge from stand to being able to do back handsprings they seem to push further at cheer than they do gymnastics here in Australia anyway

[XILoveSpencerReidX]

I remember the days when i was level 1 :') Quit at level 3 though :/ This actually brings back so many memoriess <3

[lcf38]

Level 1 where I live is way harder. :l

[MultiDancingstars]

thats boring and there like 10 year olds

[piercedjewel]

@MultiDancingstars - yes it might be boring but its level 1 and I dont know how many times I have said this but she was 6 years old and had only been doing gym for 6 months .... read before you comment next time

[nousong]

nousong i want to do gymnastic to but i can't

[JazzminOber]

@MultiDancingstars No, there like 8- 9....It depends on how late they start. Level 1 means beginner.

[chinaheart25]

Adorable! Love the leotards!

[lilchickita408]

love the leo!!! good luck in the future!

[KalexCullen]

so cute! and thanks for the tips!

[sami7798]

@daypack7

Well actually it depends. My gym starts at level 4. But they have pre team. Which is kinda like level 3 but they don't compete.

I never did pre team but a lot of people on my team did. Another gym that my friend goes to starts at level 5.

[leanneDCfan]

I can see potential she is doing well i wish her the best of luck in her further competitions

[piercedjewel]

@leanneDCfan Thanks - she moved to a more elite gym than this one soon after the competition where they have an 18 month waiting list to get in or you can test in she got in by successfully completing their entry test - they dont allow comps until they are level 4 or more here so she hasnt had the opportunity to compete since

[xolivelovexo1]

do they have floor routines?

[piercedjewel]

@xolivelovexo1 yes the second thing in the video was her floor routine - level 1 there is no tumbling

[KelliColeStudios]

where is this at? Is this in the U.S.?

[piercedjewel]

@KelliColeStudios no we are in Australia

[32purpledimondz]

aww......



[domoland18]

i have been i gymnastics for 3 years and i have never been able to go in competition

[lazycow961]

does anyone know if this is level 1 british gymnastics????????

[JellyZBeen]

She is adorable.. the look of concentration is heart melting x

[daypack7]

u dont start at leval 4  u start at leval 3

[ajvarofdoom]

You start at level 4!

[piercedjewel]

no I have mentioned 4 a few times but read the context - I said most kids start gym at the age of 4 - I also said that in her comp they were scored in teams of 4 - my daughter started at level 1 at the age of 6 she has now moved to a more elite gym where she is not doing levels as such she is in the squad team which is skill based - she would be doing a combination of levels 1 - 3 at the moment

[TheGymnastics123]

song?? ilovethis xx

[piercedjewel]

Children by Robert Miles

[TheGymnastics123]

@piercedjewel thankyouu

[piercedjewel]

Well my daughter is 6 in this video - I have seen some level 1 US where the kids are about 3 but not all the apperatus are the same neither are the exercises - as you said levels are set out differently at different places - my daughter has changed to a more elite gym now and they have kinder kids starting at about 4ish but they dont do level 1 at that age its more a recreational thing

[MileyCyrusLuvr303]

did she place

[piercedjewel]

What your viewing there is the practice comp they had - at the venue of the real comp I couldnt get all the apparatus - on the comp day they were scored in teams not individuals - her team or 4 scored silver on floor and 8th all round

[MileyCyrusLuvr303]

thats good for her age and for the difficulty level they set

where i take tumbling they teach 4 and 5 yearolds backhandsprings

[AutumnRushh]

im from england, all of the levels are set out differently here... could you tell me what age you are generally at level 1?

[Birdie7891]

aww!

[fuckingchocolate]

Oh she's cute !
