no malware here
Apologies. Google flagged this site with a malware warning for a couple of days. After much scrutiny, it turned out to be code I had put on the site myself.
In fact, I’m quite sure that the code was innocent. But better safe than sorry. Once I took off the suspect code, Google removed the warning, concluding this site was clean.
Gymnastics Camp, Newfoundland
by site editor Rick McCharles
Check out some of the training at our 3-day FUN camp in St. John’s, Newfoundland July 9-11, 2010.
At this camp any gymnast could register. We had a wide range of experience and ability, boys and girls.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Thanks to host Cygnus Gymnastics who have a new Head Coach arriving later in July, Ashley Sportun from Oakville Gymnastics.
Shout out to the hard working coaches, too. I really appreciated your efforts!
Here the ladies are both spotting AND holding upright the “tower of power”.

BASE jumping world record
Aussie Dr Glenn Singleman has held the record (jointly) since 1992.
First Glenn and Nic Feteris climbed, then BASE jumped 5,955 metres (19,537 ft) from one of the Trango Towers.
In 2006 he and his wife Heather Swan climbed Mt Meru in the Indian Himalaya, jumping from 6604m (21,667ft), in the process setting new Guinness World Records for both BASE jumping and wingsuit flying.

fluffing the gymnastics pit
Andy Timm posted this photo of the new “pit fluffing” paddles used at Woodward West Gymnastics Camp.

Woodward West is the only gym I’ve ever seen fluff pits this way. (They don’t want injuries due to the foam cubes getting compacted.)
handstand training devices
Used at Island Gymnastics Academy in PEI, Canada.
Both challenge the gymnast. Both are intended to simulate (somewhat) a handstand on Rings.
The first unit is home made. The round parallettes are commercially available. Coach Jim Rand bought them at the WOGA Men’s competition last year.
Leave a comment if you know where they can be purchased online.
