This is how you learn new gymnastics tricks. Man I would have KILLED to have access to a pit like this back in the day.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Hell man that just looks FUN!
Seriously I kinda lurched when I saw him launch, like he was gunna faceplant. Then he hit the pit I was like ME NEXT!!
Cool cool cool.
This looks like my son's gym. He's still going strong, and I have him read your writings about gymnastics -- he loves seeing your perspective.
I just discovered this blog a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoy reading it. As a kid, I thought pits were a blast but when I was using a pit as an adult, I found it uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous (heavier bodies sink to the bottom much faster). But for kids it's just awesome. I'm looking forward to reading more gymnastics related items on your blog.
thanks leslie. hoep your son enjoys my ramblings.I will always have a very very special place in my heart for gymnastics.My first true athletic love.
