Achy Brooky Hearts

Haley and Emily have not been able to attend regular class sessions this Fall. But happily, they are still doing gymnastics, through privates, once a week. I've known Haley for quite a few years, now; from beginning/advanced, to moving her up into intermediates. She's one of my all-time favorites (I know I say that about everyone- and I mean it every single time I say it!). Her younger sister Emily, I've only taught through make-up classes, once she moved up to beginning/advanced. They are quite the adorable duo. This video was fun to make, as I've begun importing and adding on some custom made xml codes into Windows Movie Maker. Anyone who is interested in pushing the limits to what WMM is capable of outputting, should visit this forum here.

In "The Zone"

Video featuring 3 current Level 7 gymnasts. Some of the footage stretches back to when they were still 6's.

Oh...and plus a usual round of suspects in overall weirdom to bookend the vid.

Cirque du SMGC

Another summercamp video to circus music since the footage is mostly of circus-like antics going on:

Ultraboy Hoop: ~Welcome to Superhero Camp!~

This kid (Thomas) showed up to our summercamp program, dressed as though everyday was Halloween. One day he was Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean; another time he fancied himself a Power Ranger. The bulk of the footage in this video was when he played a superhero, calling himself "Hoop" (because that's what it read on his basketball jersey; his ski mask with the cut-outs cracked me up). He bragged about how he was going to attend superhero camp the following week. I must say, he was quite a humorous fellow. Especially when he tried to impress the girls with his forearm strike to cause earthquakes.

I could have chosen any number of "superhero" music for this one: the Incredible Hulk...WWE's Hurricane...Greatest American Hero...Green Lantern...The Green Hornet...any number of Power Rangers theme...; the one I settled on is from my childhood, way, waaaaaay....back.
