oh contrare *spelling* men do participate in gymnastics. I used to be a gymnast. and some of those falls are no joke. I fell on a beam before. OUCH!

I'm sure your mother was distraught. "OH MY GOD THERE GO MY GRANDCHILDREN!"

except seeing how kirby turned out, maybe it was relieve?

What is the point of it all anyway?


Like the music but went for a crap half-way through the clip, but turned up the vol..

I know, that looks so hard. Those girls are hardcore status. Props to them.

Really? I have a bunch of videos of girls on hardcore status but they don't look anything like the gymnasts...

Hardcore status as in it looks as if what they are attempting is extremly difficult. I have a large amount of respect for someone who attempts to master their bodies through such difficult acts, and push themselves beyond their limitations.

I, on the other hand, believe that people should push themselves beyond what they normally would, but never exceed their capabilities. Passing your limitations is what gets you hurt -- like when your muscles can't physically withstand several hundred pounds of force but you try to lift that weight anyway and end up removing yourself from the gene pool.

Don't bother replying though, I know what you were trying to say, I'm just giving you a hard time. :)

... these are not olympics, are'nt they?...

If they were, Olympics attendance would be so much higher.

yeh but they all fell off and i think i know the reason, they were white, if they were 9 year old asian girls it would be a different story

They didnt all fall off. Some of them clung to that beam for dear life and pulled themselves back up. Kudos to them.

that is a horrid thing to say you asshat

I do agree that's not a cool thing to say, but what's an asshat???

it's a word i ran across while playing FFXI. i thought it was funny, so i started using it. i'm not quite sure what it is.

I thought it was a typo but, knowing now you intentionally used that word makes it even funnier...asshat. I will have to use that. LMAO.

ok, i found a definition of asshat on Urbandictionary.com:

Asshat:
A person, of either gender, whose behavior displays such ignorance/obnoxiousness that you would like to make them wear their own ass as a hat.

LMAO!!! I love it!!!!

hmmmm asshat is a very interesting word

tHAT WAS AN INTERESTING NEW WORD FOR ME ...asshat ? NOW WHAT IS THE EXACT DEFINITION OR DERIVATION OF THIS UNIQUE DESCRIPTION.....iM REALLY CURIOUS ...lol

i'm not sure of the exact meaning, i just know it's what a n00b turns into if no one sets them straight about FFXI. it's not a good thing to be, roughly means you are a f*cking moron that has no idea what you are doing or how to do it and you should remove yourself from the gene pool, roughly speaking.

didn't you mean "it's a GOOD thing nobody broke their neck."? I have to agree with the others, that was a very asshatty thing to say.

Thanks alot!!!!!! I spewed my tea right through my nose when I read the word ODIE-DODIE. That's what I'm going to call my monk monk from now on.

oh my goodness monk monk..how funny lol

LMFAO.... first asshat and now odiedoodie... these comments have made my day more than the vids and jokes.

F.U.P.A.? what is that?

F.U.P.A. - Fat Upper Pussy Area

that's a mildly revolting mental image. need to forget it

hey, asshat is my word

I told you I would have to use that Great word. My comment was a tribute to the new word you taught us all. LOL.

the same could be asked of football players and basketball players

...football and basketball are played in real life on a seasonal basis, and the players are very well paid....I have never heard of the Balance Beam league or of any professional balance beam performers.

that's because they are called gymnasts.

but, answer me this, why would any one risk broken legs, sprained ankles and torn ligaments to play football?

why would some one risk injury and pain for a sport. because they enjoy doing it, plain and simple.
