Competition camp

Week 2: day 1

Carly's POV

We are in week 2 now, the camp supplies clothes for us, the first week they didn't know our sizes, now they do. Once I'm awake I throw on a SMOED sports bra and bow, a pair of SMOED Nike pros, and a California all star Black Ops tee shirt. I want to be on SMOED so badly, but I live in Miami and I go to Top Gun. The breakfast is amazing, there's bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, fruit, and eggs. Once I have finished eating I go to open gym to work on my standing back tucks and my punch fronts, I also do some standing back handsprings across the floor, I am able to connect all 5 back handsprings. After open gym we have to learn our week's routine. I love our stunt sequence. It is 5,6, set 7,8, in 1,2, dip 3,4, up 5,6, dip 7,8, extension 1,2, Liberty 3,4 heel stretch 5,6, cradle 7,8, reload 1,2, dip 3,4, up 5,6, dip 7,8, extension 1,2, scorpion 3,4, needle 5,6, foot down on 7,8, full down 1,2. I'm flying and it is so much fun. (I did mean foot down because the flyers put their feet down on that count.) After practice there is lunch and after that there is stunt class, we get into our stunt groups from the practice earlier, my back spot is Corey and my bases are Kylie and Valentine. We work on our extension with a needle and we attempt a cradle from the needle, we fail, my foot hits Kylie's face and my shoulder hits Corey's arm, they are okay, we try again, we hit. Then we try a full down from extension, we hit. Next we work on our pyramid, Charlie's group drops it, but our group is able to do the level 4 skills in the routine. Even the heel stretch, full down. After stunt class is free time, the gym stays open and my stunt group and I decide to stay in the gym to work on level 3,4, and 5 skills. We hit our double down from extension on the third try, I tumble into their arms, even though that is level 2 the tumbling was not, I did a round off back handspring back tuck and bounced back into a smush/squish, from there we go straight to extension and I do a heel stretch, then we full down and hit. We decide to do some different basket tosses, I do a kick full, a kick double, and a toe touch in the air. We are confident that if the coaches see us, than one if us will win this week and move up, the coaches do see us.
