Yep, it's just a full-in but with a particularly laid out first salto

Okay phew, I had to look at a few times before it made sense. I guess I see so many mediocre ones.
Anyway, so Scam was typical Scam boringness BUT I did love Sac II's beam dismount, that shit is hot. I kinda think that besides not having a Rudi vault, with better coaching and some personality she could be better than Alicia. Probably wont' ever be but she at least looks sturdy and hopefully won't break a lot at least. Sad when that's a selling point of a gymnast.
Is it me or is Bross' new fx music, the middle up-tempo banjo sounding part, a bastardized version of Nastia's 04-06 music?
Someone feed Vanessa Lopez a sandwich and a cookie and an entire cake.
I want Alicia's boots and the ability to wear them like she does. Jealous.
That is all.

I only watched the first half of the American Cup, because it went to NBC or something, but i've seen Aly's beam on youtube, and that dismount is bloody amazing.
I heard that Bross' music is some version of Dark Eyes.
And for some reason, I love Ariella Kaeslin.

I love Ariella too - I like her attitude, all "Yeah I'm big and tall and older, and I fucking rock. What about it?" it's a nice change from all the robots. Her beam was better than I was expecting and her rudi vault, though not pretty, is very cool.

Hollie Vise vaulted on senior night. And won the all around.
She is awesome.

Okay, so who do you think will win NCAA's?
My uneducated guesses/wishes:
Team - Oklahoma AA - Sarah Shire UB - Anna Li or Hollie Vise VT - Zamarripa - if anyone but her or Susan Jackson win, it'll be a travesty BB - McCool? FX - Morgan Dennis?

Errrrrm, I would love for McCool to win floor, and for Kat Ding to win bars, but that one isn't going to happen... plus, I'd love Hollie Vise to win something.
I want UCLA/Oklahoma to win, and I'll actually cry if Bama take it.

I will too, Bama is SO gross on floor (though they do have a few routines elsewhere that I like - Priess on bars and beam, Geralen Stack-Eaton on beam) - and I can't believe Ricki whats her name is still there, it seems like she's been around for 10 years. She's like the Katie Heenan of Bama, she just never goes away.
I don't know much about Oklahoma outside of Hollie Vise and Natasha Kelley, but I'm all for having a new National Champion, if it can't be UCLA.
And wow does Utah suck

Ugh, I really can't like Ashley Preiss' bars, just because of that fugly Khorkina.
And I only like Daria Bijak and Gael Mackie, so I'm not that bothered about Utah anyway.

Yeah the markelov (I refuse to call it a Khorkina) ain't great but I appreciate that its different I guess. I just had a soft spot for her as an elite, she could have been so great had she been at another gym.
I feel the same about Utah, I only look at Gael and Daria (I hope Charlotte Mackie goes to Utah/NCAA someday) - they really aren't recruiting what they used to, the only recruit of theirs I can even name is Corrie Lothrop.

Yeah, I quite like her really, and I love the difficulty of her beam routine.
I'd love to see Charlotte in NCAA, but I hope to god it's not at Utah... I think I read somewhere that she wasn't even considering it though.

Really? Not even UCLA? They recruit from Canada all the time. Sucks.

I swore I read that both her and Brittany Rogers weren't considering it., maybe I've made that up though.

Yeah I guess not everyone is willing to go to an entirely different country for university, but still.

OMG HOW delicious was Georgia's losing at regionals?
I watched it online (RACHEL could have watched it PERSON if she had been so inclined AHEM) and it was so aweosme. I felt bad for some of them (well, like two of them), but if it's not giving those little arrogant snots a divine lesson in humility, I don't know what is.
And I'm so excited for Mizzou! They are a really nice team, WHY are you not an obssessive gym fan Rachel?! WHY!? Boo
