tbyg's introduction

Hey, well as you can tell this is my first entry in my new blog. But, I started back in gymnastics at the end of January '08, so I do have some older videos from then:

January 27, 2008, January 28, 2008, February 4, 2008, February 6, 2008, February 7, 2008.

I'll make a new video every now and then, but I try to practice everyday, though sometimes that doesn't always work out. I'm a junior in high school and I take a riding lesson every week, and ride by myself once or twice a week, and riding usually takes up most of the day, and soon I'll be showing as well. Horses are my number one priority, so everything else is worked around my riding schedule.

As far as gymnastics go; I'm aware that my chances of becoming an Olympic medalist are pretty slim, but this is more of a "something fun to do" type thing. I would love to take gymnastic lessons again, but with the only coaches being an hour away, I don't think I could fit it in my schedule/afford it.

Currently, I'm working on; back bends, cartwheels, handstands, and round-offs. While I was practicing today, I decided to try round-offs on me trampoline, which turned out to be a nice way to save my knees, but I think it might have made it a wee bit harder because its not exactly hard ground. Anyway, I was massively tired, despite the fact that I had 13 hours of sleep last night, so I didn't really do the best I know I can do and for some reason I couldn't manage to keep my legs the slightest bit strait while doing anything.

Here's the video from today, feel free to leave me comments or critiques on what I can do to keep from sucking so much.
