  • @hanfan26

    I started when I was 19, I've only been doing it for 7 months, although I still really lack flexibility and theres alot of things I can't do yet like Handsprings and walk overs etc. I can do running front flips and back flips with ease. I also only train twice a week both 1 hour sessions.

  • Beautiful barefoot girls

  • Do I have to do that part in 1:59 too? hahaha

  • @hanfan26 i just started when i was still 16 and i just turned 17 and it's REALLLY fun!

  • @brooke6909 wat about it ??

  • @hanfan26 it's not too late! I started when I turned twelve, I can do round offs, cart wheels, handstands, pullovers, and many other things, I have to badges left in my gymnastics and it's only been a year!

  • Is it too late to start gymnastics at age 16? Do you have to start as a little kid?

  • @pianobach13 What if you have tiles instead of carpets, and you don' have mats? D:
