I Landed on my Head | British Championships Prep

[@leahcrowther1655]

Congrats again at RIO, great meeting you today in town 🇬🇧❤️🏅

[@heatherplaysguitar8044]

I love watching the younger gymnasts watching you train! You must be such an inspiration to them! But the real question: did you manage to get your haircut? :')

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+HeatherPlaysGuitar Thank you!.. Haha I did yes 💁🏼

[@Clay_Futrelle]

Glad the injury wasn't more serious! Congrats again at Rio! So proud of your behaviour and performance, you really are an inspiration!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

So bloody strong. Good luck Nile

[@quiltie1774]

I love watching you do your thing!

[@knowuthrume]

Thank you, Nile, for the continued inspiration.

[@kendrao9647]

I'm glad you are ok!!! Keep up the hard work, good things are coming your way! :)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Kendra O Thank You Kendra

[@beccaa7519]

Such an inspiration Nile, helped me concentrate on nutrition and preparation as they are vital roles in sport, well done at the British keep inspiring me !💪☺️

[@sammyheartsGCA]

Really excited to be able to watch you at the British Championships this weekend!!

[@SovereignDemise]

See you at the weekend I'm so excited!!!💖

[@megans5181]

You did awesome at British and thanks for letting us get a photo with you even though you were in competition mode it means a lot

[@megans5181]

Well done for your gold on high bar 2 silvers on rings and bronze overall #roadtorio

[@natcomber13]

This is why I didn't push to include Thomas roll in my routine, wouldn't trust myself to do it consistently and you only gotta do it wrong once and it could be game over!! I've heard rumour rollouts are going to be banned in the new code anyway, you heard anything about this Nile? Also, I'm competing in the first subdivision of the British on saturday and staying around to watch you guys in the evening - should be a great day!! :)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Nath Comber They are big skills!... Not heard any rumours myself. Good luck mate maybe see you there

[@gymnasticsbecky1671]

just had my regional 2 competition I came 2nd on beam and 7th all round , I'm really proud 😊

[@equestrianlove0137]

Gymnastics, Becky second on beam you go girl!

[@user-pb1eg3sp7p]

That's okay Nile! I fell on my head trying to do a backflip! 😂

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

LiamPayneismybean Isn’t It interesting to think people were telling him it’s alright because they have landed on their head while attempting to do a flip or some gymnastics move, but in reality it was the beginning of the neck injury that could have ended his career and life as he knew it. In February 2019 Nile has to under go emergency surgery to fix the vertebrae at C7 because he had landed on his head and neck one time to many. Surprisingly people can walk around with multiple spinal cord injuries for years and not know they have them. The problem is that various activities and movements slowly cause the original injury and damage to slowly get worse to the point that their life is at risk. Happened to me and I was extremely blessed to still be alive and able to walk some.

[@ciararethore8820]

You are amazing!! Omg I love your vids and your so talented

[@benzovlogs4278]

Nile actually went to my school!!!

[@joshuakarcher4985]

Keep going !!! You are a great gymnast und a big idol :) ! Good luck for the British and greets from Germany ;)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Joshua Kärcher Thank you mate 💪

[@Dg036]

I was at British champs Nile I was one of the girls who escorted gymnasts around the events and you were great btw💕🌟

[@lucysart1699]

Your videos are very inspiring! Your positivity is something to look up to. I am curious, why do you wear socks when you train? It seems like it would be slippery but you obviously know what you're doing!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

Haha no particular reason to be honest I just do!

[@pamelaflirtyskunk7698]

After my entire life either being a gymnast and since then, watching gymnastics, I just CANNOT fall in love with the pommel horse. Even though I'm a woman and did women's gymnastics, I LOVE so much of men's gymnastics as well. I have never been able to figure it out... Pommel requires a TON of strength and skill and men are doing such AMAZING things on it but I get bored every single time. What is wrong with my brain?! Nile did an excellent routine there and I really loved his gymnastics and I just couldn't get into it. It's like something in my brain doesn't click with it. Wish I could figure out a way to get my brain to enjoy it! Maybe it's because the majority of the skills are all on the same plane? I just don't know and I wish I could figure it out. I love ALL the other apparatus (male and female). My brain is BIZARRE! 😜

[@jaguar6414]

I feel the same and I compete pommel. It’s boring even when you’re on the horse, just “ point toes. Don’t fall”. No artistry to it

[@LachFlex]

Looking really good man - shame about that haircut! haha :p Best wishes for the upcoming comp!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Lachlan Walker Cheers Bro! Haha got it cut now 😜💁🏼

[@annabelhobday6983]

Hey, I love watching your videos! I was wondering if you had any advice on how to prepare for a big competition and how to control nerves? X

[@charlottemarshall795]

Looking amazing, which piece would you say is your strongest? Good luck for the weekend!

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Charlotte Marshall Thank you !.. Pbar & Hbar are my strongest 💪

[@ggab42]

Go Nile ! 💪

[@marks5770]

What camera do you use for the vlog stuff (talking to camera) versus the gym footage? Enjoyed that - good work man.

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Mark S I mainly use my GoPro at the moment. The Training footage in this vid is my iphone.

[@viktorjansson879]

You're a badass and you've got this Nile!! What are the ingredients in your super-smoothie at 0:57? :D

[@adamanthony7395]

I can't wait to meet you Saturday

[@ryanzimmermann2971]

I was doing a double front and I landed on my head I couldn’t speak

[@gymnasticsbecky1671]

Hi I'm coming to Liverpool to watch you I think your amazing and I hope u get in to the GB squad.im a gymnast to and on the 24th April I'm going to do my regional 2 competition 😊💪🏻

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Gymnastics, Becky Thank you!.. Good luck for your competition 💪

[@andymy060381]

Hi Nile your vids are awesome and keep it up I'm a gymnast my self and a couple of months ago I hit my shins doing straight back on high bar and congrats for the finals last Saturday keep up the good work

[@youpiececrap7419]

can't wait to leave for Liverpool tomoz 😁😀😊☺

[@CalvinKrause]

I landed on the top of my head in a back tuck the other day because the mat slipped away and now I'm a little blocked :/

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Calvin Krause Aw man! Stupid mats aha... Be confident & commit to it! Come On you can do it 💪

[@adventureclaylori2248]

I thought that front roll element was illegal now or is that just in women's? I saw a female gymnast was paralyzed and died after a similar move. So glad you're ok!

[@saffi1946]

BestLife CO yeah it's only banned in WAG, the men are still able to compete roll-out somersaults

[@anne-marieallen4645]

I met the GB team at Lilleshall last Tuesday🍀😂

[@95testaccount]

D: HB 6,9 FX 6,1 PH 5,8 VT 5,6 PB 7,0 Where is the routine on rings?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+95testaccount haha you're a good judge! Didn't film it apologies. My rings is a 6,4👍

[@95testaccount]

+Nile Wilson No need to apologise. 6,4 is really good for an all around gymnast, just 4 too 6 tenths behind the rings specialists.

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+95testaccount Thanks Man 💪

[@adamanthony7395]

Good luck!🍀

[@stones2504]
