I love being able to do areal tricks that most people can't even dream of doing and having such control over my body while I'm in the air.

The best thing about being a gymnast in my opinion, is that it raises your self-esteem because you possess an almost superhuman strength and power and talent that no other person can have. But in my case, I'm a rhythmic gymnast. So I get alot of comments about how flexible I am and how I control the ball, hoop, ribbon, clubs, and rope with so much dexterity.

I agree completeley with Alicia! Competing is my favorite part i like competing sure i'm only level 5 but i don't care i like competing.

Shawn's just soo cute and appreciative. Bridget is soo expressive when she talks, I love it! Chellsie's just really humble all the time. Sam's just beautiful! Darlene kind of robotic =/ Great bunch of girls though!

I wish I could've been level 4 at least but I had to quit at beginner's level because of money and ride problems ( wish I could go back to gymnastics so bad.. lol). I think the best part for me in general for any sport 'though would be the game or competing hehe, including learning new stuff =)
