Gymnastics Training 25-02-2010

Sorry I haven't updated the past few weeks: my coach had been taking me so my dad hadn't been filming as he wasn't there!

This week my coach was unavailable to come along as she was suffering from a migrane so I had to work on conditioning and the stuff I was already competent with, as there were basically no coaches besides sort-of-coach Dale there (!). Today's events are:

Handspring Vaults - I'm working on getting these to feet now. My first competition is in May and I need to have this to a comp standard by then (which I'm sure I will get, if I work really hard). There are something like 14 in total including...

MY EPIC FAIL - Entitled Epic Fail no. 1 - My guide of how NOT to do a handspring vault.

Half-On Vaults (not ready for the Half-Off bit :P) - My first attempts are pretty dismal but I improve somewhat. As there were no coaches there I had to go by Dale's word of 'that's how it is done' because I had nobody to ask. Konrad then shows the camera how to do it properly before asking what the next 'stage' of the vault (half-off) and then rewarding us all to...

KONRAD'S EPIC FAIL - Entitled Epic Fail no. 2 - Konrad's guide of how NOT to do a half-on-half-off.

Roundoffs/Backflicks/Handstands - Not alot was captured here, I think my dad wanted my Vaults. I'm getting better with my roundoffs, and holding my handstands (I do push ups twice a day, every day and I think it's working) but sadly my backflicks are stuck in the same rut.

Range/Conditioning - The planche to be precise. I did hold it for thirty but my dad didn't get all of it. Then my foot cramped up :(

As always, comments are appreciated :D :D

@thedandomaster Well I never learnt that at age eight because I wasn't at a proper club so don't brag please. I'm trying hard to get it.

Was that the fall that you were talking about at 0:37?

[Theaterfreak]

No that was a different one. Not a fall, a fail. It must a British thing, the Epic Fails.

The fall was at the gym I go to on Fridays.
