I think it needs to be mentioned that iLitter is absolutely the best montage maker out there. He makes gymnastics look so good.

Thanks. I’ll go check out the iLitter uploads.

… Ah, ha.

Good stuff. Very pro-USA.

hey this is Chris aka iLITTER but feel free to call me Chris or CSac (twitter.com/CSaccullo)

Always noticed you have posted my videos and i appreciate you sharing them with your many readers. Glad they can help bring content and discussion to your popular blog. While yes i am very pro-USA like most Americans supporting their fellow countrymen, as Spanny said, i am very much “pro” to any and all athletes of this sport who work so hard to represent it so well. (See all my videos about Musty or that are embedded on her website.) My goal is to help promote the great sport of gymnastics and share the stories of the athletes who represent it so well. Now at the moment i may not have any videos of say the Chinese, Romanians etc, but doesn’t mean i don’t appreciate and have a great respect for them aswell. i’m a gymnastics fan first. If i may ask one favour though, if you do decide to share one of my videos, please place a link to my channel in addition to the link you provide to the video’s page. The request isn’t out of self promotion, if i was about that i would slap an obnoxious sized graphic of my name on the bottom of my videos like some others do, blahh X( The link might help readers see some of the other athletes i have highlighted in different videos. If you don’t want to no big deal or hard feelings.

and this is just something i want to share with whoever cares to read it. I always appreciate the support and encouragement from everyone with my editing, i wouldn’t be able to do what i do or be where i am without it. I’v been blessed to be in a position to do it, so i will delight in doing it to the best of my ability. While it is very humbling and motivating to hear my name out there and associated with being among the best, my reward is knowing i’m doing what i can to help promote this great sport that has given me so much. It is also in hearing that a young person competing in gymnastics found encouragement from a video to help them press on when thing’s get tough, especially in a day in age when young people are so inundated with garbage, they need all the encouragement they can get with staying active in something positive that will install great qualities in them they will carry on with for the rest of their life where ever it might lead them as the sport has done for myself. But also the reward in knowing for example that the above video gave Jordyn a smile for at least 2 min out of her day when she tweeted it, or John posting it on Facebook excited for the event in front of his home crowd and appreciated the support. Knowing i can give back something with the videos i put together to an athlete who i and so many others find much inspiration in, even if it’s just an extra smile to their day, i know no greater reward. And to my fellow gym editors out there, we are in this together, i’m really impressed with how hard everyone works on there videos to also help promote and share the stories of our great sport! keep up all the great work my friends!
