Shrimps doing giants

I am often asked when giants should be started. My answer is always now. The compulsories don't teach swing and there for there are plenty of ways to start teaching swing at an early age. Come to saltocafe.com and find drills for swing there.

these girls are great, but they must be put under a lot of pressure.

Jeez Im 17 and just figured them out on the strap bar! AWESOME! I suppose they aren't as hard once you get them but AWESOME!!!

i love how the seven year old was the best!

[tracyelwell]

Also I agree, they aren't shrimps - they petite and very strong and talented girls!

We are in the UK and my 7.5 year old has just got her giants with straps as well

The first girl who did a dismount off is A-m-a-z-I-n-g!

I think these girls are doing great and progressing nicely. They do not look overly-pressured to me. I agree with the post that giants really are easy once you get over the fear of doing them. Once the mental fear is gone, you can do them for days:]  However, whoever was ragging on the girl working her front giants, give me a break! They are much different from 'regular' giants and I guarantee not even a gymnast like Boginskaia had the best toe point or pointed legs when she learned these!:]

Giants aren't hard, I learned them when I was 9. You just gotta keep the momentum going on, and keep your body really straight, and your feet pointed.:)))

@Hoenemeyergirl Pressure? Or maybe they just had talent right? I like the last one, her muscles bulge out! And her feet are so pointed, and she keeps her body really straight. :))) i admire these girls!
