my current phase of watching hours of gymnastics videos really brings me back to the days of my sophomore year in hs, when I decided to try and learn how to do a backbend and almost broke my spine in half
I took a tumbling class in 6th grade and asked the instructor “so.. how long do you think it’ll take until I’m ready to join a competition team” I COULDNT EVEN DO A BACK HANDSPRING. AND I COULD ONLY DO A FRONT HANDSPRING ON THE FUCKING TRAMPOLINE. IM. STILL. EMBARRASSED.
I remember the instructor spent hours trying to help me learn how to do a back handspring on the trampoline & he literally gave up because I was too scared LMFAO
My poor little fat self.. I was so young
After the 5th class, I quit going. I did learn how to do a front flip into the foam pit, but alas.... that wasn’t exactly Olympic gold worthy!
I’m not tweeting this thread on my main account because I’m literally THAT embarrassed
I’m gonna go jump on my trampoline
