If you thought the concept of BBC Tumble was a little extreme, how about a TV show where celebrities try Pole Dance?

MG Elite documentary planned
Like Gymnastike’s Beyond The Routine (subscription) and the terrific Sports2Visuals documentary series launched May 2013, THE HARD WAY TO SUCCESS (free), Lauren Hopkins and collaborators on The Gymnternet have something exciting coming our way. Free. 🙂
In a new and very exciting endeavor, The Gymternet will produce a documentary series about MG Elite’s journey leading up to the Olympic Games.
The series will focus on 2014 U.S. junior national champion Jazzy Foberg and 2013 U.S. junior national silver medalist Laurie Hernandez – two of the biggest junior prospects in the country leading up to Rio 2016
2013 U.S. junior national vault champion Ariana Agrapides, too young for Rio 2016 but training for Tokyo 2020 – will also make appearances throughout the series. …
Our plan is to release episodes online every few months leading up to the Olympic Games, right down to the team being named at Olympic Trials. If Hernandez and/or Foberg are selected for the team that will compete in Rio, we will follow their journey there …

These in depth documentaries are terrifically popular. We need MORE aspiring movie makers.

boycott Gymnastike?
Early September 2014 Flocasts, parent company of Gymnastike, put up a very controversial post. They admitted the mistake, but a proper apology was slow in coming.
Gymnastike.org has been, over recent years, charged with plagiarism. Here’s one example.
I find the practice of editing a press release and changing ALL the links lazy at best, unethical at worse.
I don’t trust Flocasts. And will only rarely link to Gymnastike in future until I believe the corporate culture changes for the better.

Uchimura’s Mom competes All Japan
If you’ve seen Shuko Uchimura, you know she’s lean and muscled.
I’m not surprised she could put on a leotard and still do gymnastics. 🙂
