I’m not quite sure why Dakota Grainger (Level 10) is training this skill. It’s certainly not one you’d want to have to land in competition.

RESET the NET

Two choices.

1. You can simply assume there is no privacy. No privacy online. None on phone.

Or …

2. you can try taking some small steps to discourage the NSA and other organizations from collecting data on you.

I’m switching from Google search to DuckDuckGo, for example. That might help. Apple is now offering DuckDuckGo as an alternative web search engine.

On the other hand, Google is responding to criticism, now offering end-to-end mail encryption, to try to make your email private.

Taylor Lindsay-Noel:

Taylor… almost six years ago. After an unexpected and rare fall from the high bar, I… a Canadian National Gymnast, was instantly paralyzed from the neck down.

Looking back, if you were to ask me at 14 years old, where I saw myself at 20, my answer would probably go something like this….

“I’m currently on a gymnastics scholarship at a nationally recognized University in the US, I’m finishing up my third year of undergrad and my aspiration in life is to become a sports doctor.”

Now… Let’s look at the reality,

“I’m about to enter my third year of my undergrad at Ryerson’s Radio and Television Arts program, I attend therapy multiple times a week, and my aspiration in life is to become an entertainment reporter and a motivational speaker.”

Taylor competed for the Seneca School of Gymnastics.

add Tricking to FX?

Now that the Air Flare is established as a desirable element on Men’s Floor Exercise, why not one of the Tricking elements?

It was 1985 that Tong Fei competed Butterfly with a 1/1 twist, not so dissimilar to this shown here by Kieran Behan.
