Eddie Umphrey:
The kids at gym didn’t think a giant was possible on a playground bar. Little did they know that’s where I learned my giants, flyaway and kip. True story. Ya ya terrible form, but the bar was still wet from the rain.

Uh. Do we really need them to know that?
As one of Eddie’s former coaches, I’m proud to see that smile is still shining and you haven’t given up on your dreams. Look at the joy you put on those kids faces and who knows…. you just may have inspired a few new gymnasts on that playground. PS, you still don’t get those arms extended on your landing!
