[gymnasticschick508]

[gymnaztix11]

No i mean

[gymnaztix11]

Yea i started at 9 and im skipping 6 to got to 7 and i started 2 years ago

[Annabbyish]

do u have to start young or can u b good at age 11? : , ( I hope so!

[niemierBLAHBLAH1]

@Annabbyish

You can start at any age. I started at age 13, I am now 14 and I am on prep op pushing to go level 7 next year.. but I am fighting a ton of injuries, but yes you can still be good at age 11.

[littlemaninblack]

These little girls train harder than the soldiers in the "Universal Soldier" movie series! Just look at thier big muscles!

[swimchica100]

Leeny11 I agree with you. Swimming is just as hard. We may not have to do flips and dances, but we have to sprint for several minutes while holding our breath. And flexibility believe it or not actually plays a huge roll in swimming. Flexibility helps with fast flip turns and a long stretched out stroke. Also there are ways to get hurt, i shattered my heal after smacking it on the side of the pool when doing a flip turn. Just like gymnastics we use every muscle in our body and we have t

[94gymnast]

gymnastics has the potential to kill you with swimming thats very unlikely

[chefd907]

great job i could never do that it looks like it takes great skill to do this kudios

[chefd907]

whats the name of the song in the background. great job it looks like it takes alot of hard work

[elizabethX3]

See, what i wanna know is, how do these gymnasts get over the fear of doing double backs? and double pikes? if thats the correct term for it? Watching this video makes my ankles hurt. i KNOW GYMNASTICS IS A TOUGH SPORT, but i couldnt let my child go threw this much...pressure, and conditioning. well only if he/she really wanted it. I just feel like some coaches take the fun out of it and now its just..a job?

[gymnast450]

gymnastics isnt easy it is a hard working sport and some people don tGet that

[gabbiedoglover11]

im 11 and i might think about signing up for gymnastics soon but im scared about the bars..... how can i do that?

[TheNatasha2442]

i loved tht and btw (by the way) nice writing!

[CANDiiz2]

wow i think the little kids are just AMAZING!!

[ilovesportsism]

I am turning 16 in April and I ahve natural talant for this sport. I use to do gymnastics about four years ago but I broke my ankle and had to quit. When I quit I was beggining to start the high preformane stuff. I reall want to join again but am I too old?

[uSwingcomidy]

its great for your first!!! i do gymnastics i am level 9 and it is hard!!

[starrgirl991]

I'm an elite gymnast and other sports don't do half of what they do. Ps I'm selling "if gymnastics were easy it would be called football" sweatshirts for $29.99 + tax

[chelsea1bestsing]

holy shit the little girls even do this!

[megabronagh]

does anybody know where ashley is now in gymnastics if she is still doing it

[hamsters451]

swimming isnt near as hard i was a competitive swimmer for 3 years and now im an elite gymnast like these girls it is very hard swimmers dont do half of what they do

[bugwhaley]

thats cool good job.are you who made this montage a gymnast?

[Maiacicilia]

leeny11 Are U sure??????? Gymnastics (to me) is A LOT more difficult :) But I know what you mean it might be! I don't know!

[hharis1993]

wow this is so cool i never seen samthink like this i seen it but not lil kids doing it omgs

[kenpalmer1965]

This is a very good video. It does indeed show both the hardships as well as the triumphs in being a gymnast. Good job!

[Rawlentlesspower]

Yes, this place is amazing the girls are even more amazing! If you are into gymnastics and you ever i Pa. I highly suggest coming by, maybe taking a tour or even a class. So many great gymnasts come from this place!

[anacondapink]

lol i don't know what they are either

[tinyqweencess]

what are parkettes? im sorry for not knowing could someone explain?

[danseur2]

Parkettes gymnastics is an elite gym. They're known to be one of the best gyms. I'm pretty sure it's in Pennsylvania. I'm not the most knowledgable on the parkettes either so i hope this small amount of info helps anyways =]

[tinyqweencess]

thank you! they must be real epic if there know around the world/U.S.!

[danseur2]

No problem =] and yeah they are pretty epic i mean, i've always been super impressed with them

[jeet27in07]

yup allentown pa.

[Jonasluva13052]

they are in allentown pennsylavania. one of the best gyms in the valley. girls from all over come to train at parketts. they start from mommy and me classes and go all the way to the olympics. hopefully. it may not have been the best. but my 5 years there was definitely one expierience i will never forget.

[yumiko0017]

dont worry about what others say if they give you any negative comments it will be because of jealousy and they will hate to see you succeed. go for it!

[skittles51807]

that was really cool! great video!!

[Shellzerxxx]

omg i miss gymnastics so much..............had to give it up cause couldnt afford it!!!:(:(

[leeny11]

what swimmers go through is just as hard

[IngridGymnastics]

It actually counts for every sport. Everyone at a top level has to go through this.

[Samx1999]

@leeny11 no not at all, swimming will test only your indurence and speed and strength gymnastics does 100 times more than that! flexibility, endurence, strength.

[americangirl4729]

@leeny11 Swimming as you pointed out is hard too, I am also a swimmer, but it's not on the same level. There two amzazing different sports.And every sport has it's problems.

[theigagymnast]

@leeny11 I was a swimmer for 5 years and quit for gymnastics and it was one of the best choices I ever made.

[jordanolympicgymnast]

i love dis vid and we do no how hard it is but people dnt no wt its like.

[doublefrontpike17]

who is that girl right at the starting

[IngridGymnastics]

That's Kristina Coccia. Also known as Sharky =)

[angie4299]

@doublefrontpike17 its sharkyy:)

[elisekushy246]

omg I am like upsesed with the parketts so if any one has a video about them send it to me and I will subscribe and rate and comment!!

[sportsaholic4eva]

ugh i have been doing gymnastics since i was 2 and i'm just starting to work twisting and cant even get a back walk over on beam! and i 13 now! i wish i could be as good as them

[born2dancexster]

i have seen better, but pretty good. Where do you get this footage?! i have asked everyone but know one reoplies..... =) AWESOME

[IngridGymnastics]

The Footage is just on youtube, you can look it up. It's called 'Pursuing the Perfect 10', it's a documentary about the Parkettes.

I'm glad you like the montage!

[omletyoko]

girls have died from this and coaches and judges puttin mo stress geezzzzzzz.

[TheHorseyGymnast]

christy henrich and elena mukhina.

[homeschooledchick]

DANG i am a gymnast and i dont even work out that hard UH that sucks for those people that are pushed sooooo soooo hard!

[boumschicka]

i like american training most. They are succesfull. They have hard training but nevertheless their childs are able to laugh (at least someimes)...^^

[IngridGymnastics]

I agree, the Chinese go through harder training, and they are pushed way to hard. In America you can stop whenever you want. And the training is succesfull!

[MelodiaTodoElDia]

@IngridGymnastics

Chinese gymnastics team is the current Olympic Champion

[jenkie99]

i used to train there.

before i moved to australia

[rbeccarox123]

u live in austrailia cool my unkle lives there !

[elisekushy246]

did you really train there? Whats your name? Are you in any videos? What was it like!?

[chricz949]

I don't like Donna Strauss...I can't remember a time she was nice to me the whole time I was at Parkettes, but I think the gym itself is just as hard as every other gym. The coaches may have a different way of training, but doesn't every coach?

[gymlova]

all coaches are mean.. haha mine is too, so i guess that just what we need to become better=)

[PrettyInPinkMel]

great montage! love it!

[IngridGymnastics]

[EricCris10sen]

AWESOME VIDEO! No lie I haven't seen one as good as this one! I like how you showed the training in there. You have to have really good endurence to be able to keep up what they were doing. And ouch, the girl in the beginning must have hurt

[IngridGymnastics]

thank u!

[EricCris10sen]

np I really mean it. It shows the stress and hard work they put into gymnastics. 5/5

[Gymnasticsgal97]

[IngridGymnastics]

[FreddyOgSigrid]

[XXsiansterXX]

[IngridGymnastics]

Parkettes is a gymcentre. They háve elite gymnasts, but I think they also have "normal gymnastics"/not elite's
