Mismo – Gymnastics parties
Mismo’s First Friday is More than just Gymnastics its FUN!
Mismo Gymnastics has the best kids party and kids activities in Missoula, Montana!First Fridays are full of jumping on trampolines, flying through the air, …
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Founder of Mismo Gymnastics Kelley Durbin (Facebook) was contacted this week by the producers of reality TV show Dance Moms:
They wanted to interview me to see if we might be selected for their reality show…oh the poor women I just gave a lecture to.
I told her that when ever they get around to doing a show about a gym or studio that DOES NOT support drama and prefers to work WITH parents for the betterment of our children’s future, THEN they can call me! Otherwise, I could not support anything that encourages self-promotion, child and parent exploitation, and silliness!
Kelley is recently engaged, by the way. 🙂

world’s eldest kip?
Diana can still do kip on Bars. She’s age eligible for all sorts of discounts … if you know what I mean. ☺
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
If you know of an ‘elderer‘ gymnast who can do kip, leave a comment. (We’ll need video proof as well as a copy of birth certificate.)
Otherwise, Diana is World’s Oldest Kip. I assume she’ll now apply to be sponsored by Tumbl Trak.
Diana trains at Twisters in Port Townsend, Washington. More photos.

I don’t know how old she is, but I do have a video of a 60-year old man from The Netherlands that did giant swings (in special swing-grips). You can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T93p-zT6p3A

inflatable gymnastics equipment
I visited Lieven Vercruyssen, founder and chief evangelist of Eurogym Belgium and EuroTumble.com.
… supplier of inflatable gymnastics equipment in Europe. …
Our equipment is quickly inflated and deflated and because it is also airtight a constant blower is not needed. It is very compact and takes a small space in the storage room. …
I tagged along with Lieven to Gymclub Apollo in Antwerp where he set up an Air Floor for the coaches and gymnasts to test.
Lieven is expert in setting up and deflating as quickly as possible.
The kids got in on the fun.
Apollo is a set-up, take-down gym in a school. With limited storage. An Air Floor is ideal in their situation.

Eurotumble is the distributor of TumblTrak in Europe.

by Natalie Keller Reinert
The U.S., Canada and Great Britain together now boast more than 300 special needs cheer teams, giving children and adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to shine on the mat. Hailed by parents and researchers alike as a transformative experience for kids who might feel socially cut-off from the rest of the world, cheerleading can bestow confidence, pride and friendship upon its participants.
Starting a special needs team at your gym, however, is not an overnight decision. There are many things that should be considered …

I saw that on the Tumbl Trak February 2012 newsletter.

Tumbl Trak video goes viral
I’d prefer kids be doing gymnastics in a proper facility, with a qualified instructor. … But “home” gymnastics is very, very popular. This Tumbl Trak video has gone viral with over half a million hits.

Right now I’m out with the Tumbl Trak video crew. They’ve got BIG plans for future videos. I’ll link to the best of the best.
