Do you think gymnastics rocks or sucks?

There is, apparently some evidence that intensive training in gymnastics can slow skeletal development.  I imagine this is more evident at the elite gymnast level.  I think gymnasts tend to be smaller, on average, because the lower centre of gravity is beneficial for some of the apparatus.  Health problems in gymnasts are more pronounced for girls than boys.  You are probably a good size for a gymnast.

Yes.  It's good for strength, balance and flexibility.  It's fun, too.

its all in your head..gymnastics is like 90% mental..trust and believe in yourself that you can do it..if you keep telling yourself you cant, then youll hold back and might injure yourself. picture yourself doing that skill before you actually go...do lots of drills so you get comfortable or maybe have your coach spot. cheer yourself on (inside your head..i know it sounds funny..but i do it all the time on beam and it helps) and stay positive..i hope this helps..good luck!

Unless the school is REALLY competitive, I would say no. My sister is a cheerleader, and she doesn't have any gymnastic background at all.

Nope, not unless you're doing something quite different from the sport of gymnastics as I know it.

Simply put, no. It's not hard to learn. It is hard, however, to perfect. It only takes as long as it takes for you to learn to adapt your body to the movements. So increasing your general physical condition and balance are KEY!!!\n\nBut it's worth it. LOADS of fun!

I've been a dancer all of my life and have been asked this question many times...  I don't know that I would call it a sport.  When I think of a sport I think of someone winning something.  While, yes, there are dance competitions, I think that they are worthless.\nI think that dance is something that is extremely athletic to the point that it is a sport just minus the competiveness.  If you asked anyone off the street to do a combination of dance steps, there is no way they would be able to do it.  If a basketball player was asked to do some dance steps, they'd be unable to do it.  Dancers are athletes for sure.  Whether dance is a sport or not is something different.  I guess if they can call cheerleading a sport, dance is a sport too.  You know, "Cheerleaders are dancers gone retarded!"

Yes, I love it.  It's a beautiful sport.  Pity it's not more popular here as in Europe.  The only chance I ever get to watch it is when the Olympics are on.  \n\nThose girls are unbelievable flexible and to do a dance routine with all those props is nothing short of amazing. :)

OMG!! THANK YOU!! I was just thinking that same thing!!\nand i have a sad track story. wanna hear it? ok well my 4x400 would have made it to STATE!!! but some stupid flag judge disqualified us... for NOTHING!! man, i hella wanna run at state!! \nand i agree that running is hard. you need to be mentally and physically in shape. its no fair that other LAME sports get more attention. and yea im calling CURLING and DARTS a lame sport. wait, darts isnt even a sport alright. drop it. what physical thing do yo have to do then flick your arm and hope the little arrow lands in a circle?

Well, while most are abusing. I think it's an awesome sport. It takes a lot of skill to stay on beat and land everything perfectly. It's really cool to watch and I only wish I possesed the skill necessary to play such a sport.

I THINK THEY ARE IDIOTIC POO POO BRAINS!! sorry but you should see the freakin retards at my schools cheer team, believe me they aren't that bright, they think that if they can do a bunch of routines that'll get themselves noticed then get guys and all that or maybe they do it cause they like being thrown in the air or flashing panties.

I think they're revolting!!!! Haha. Its completely normal. We know how to do it better to ourselves than anyone else! But it's always worth being a good sport by letting someone else try.
