Gymnastics career

As a little boy, my loving mother enrolled me in gymnastics lessons.  I was 5 years old when I started.  I did well and excelled quickly.  When I was 10 years old, I my skills on the floor exercise routine would consist of back hand springs, back flips, and various other skills.  I was probably best on the pommel horse.  My pommel horse routine consisted mostly of swinging my legs around the pommel horse with my hands firmly planted.  I would do about 15 to 20 circles by the end of my routine.  On the rings, I did not do very many impressive tricks.  When I quit gymnastics I was trying to do sweet tricks on the vault.  Parallel bars were hard and I did not do very well on them.  High bar was fun but that is the event that forced me to quit.  When I was doing a reverse giant, my grip slipped and my body flew away from the 9 foot high bar.  I landed with my chest on the mat and my face implanted into the mat.  My back was arched and my feet were around my ears.  It hurt and the injury ended my gymnastics career.
