Wait til you see her on the uneven bars!

So that’s how they do it!

BRILLIANT! I’m gonna get one of those so I can walk up and down my neighbors fence!

Make sure the tires are balanced.

Sorry, Bleeb. No dresses being worn in this gym. Of course, the leotard view is similar to the panty view . . .

Bleeb needs his own little mat and beam. :)

As a ten year old, I had occasion to use a tightrope walker’s pole to walk along a chain strung between posts of a parking lot barrier. I yelled, “Wow! With the pole, this is EASY!” At first the performer was amused at my attempt, but after my exclamation, she came over took back her tool, and glared at me.

Oy!

Still wouldn’t help the males who might slip and do the splits….

That just doesn’t seem to make sense to me…

Yeah in this day and age of “safety for all”, anyone could see this coming from a mile away

The dismount is gonna be a little tricky.

Wow. The recession has hit harder than I thought. The gym can’t afford spotters.

Hmm, that actually might help (at first).

My children were never involved in gymnastics, so, please, feel free to correct me, if I am mistaken (that does happen, rather frequently!), but, nowadays, doesn’t gymnastics have elastic bands that attach to the gymnast, when they are learning flips, etc?

One thing I have to say about Bleeb: he’s a friendly little guy, always waving hello! ❤️

That would be the only way I’d be on that beam!
