A Past Skill

Someone asked for a video of when I was younger and this is as young as I can find right now. I was in 7th grade, I know it's not that young but its great talent for a seventh grader. The skill I am attempting in this video is a double. A double is a 720-degree spin. I eventually got this trick but with time off, mental blocks and injuries caused me to lose it. The summer going into 10th grade, I was relearning this skill and I actually almost had it back! Since there is so much work to lifting yourself and twisting, this was part of the build up to my back fracture. I don’t see myself relearning this skill again, I am way too scared. I know and I have been told I can do it again if I practice but I'm going to pass.

  1. Wow that was impressive. I can not believe you acheived that in 7th grade! I do not blame you for being scared, I would be too. What injury caused you to loose it? Is that the only injury you've had from the sport. I know that cheerleading is a dangerous sport. I'm sure that you could get the skill back if you tried in time. What is your favorite skill that you have now?

  2. Thank! I fractured my back and I had a bulging disk in my lower back. I've had little sprains here and there and I've busted my knee, pulled my hamstring and broke my nose, but thats about it. Nothing too crazy the pulled hamstring led me to busting my knee. I might put the video up of me falling actually haha. I can definitely get it bacK, I'm sure if I go to the gym tomorrow I could attempt it and be fine it's just in my head that i don't want to do it lol. My favorite skill would probably be my best pass, which is an arabian to a full :)
