We are in the process of moving all of the animations to photobucket.com - so far all of the animations on the list of uneven bars skills have been moved. Many new animations have also been added, including Liu release, Bi spin, Endo full, Weiler kip half, toe-on front full dismount, stalder snap dismount, Produnova pirouette, Bi spin half, L grip Endo, inbar stalder half, Ling pirouette, straddle hecht mount, Gurova mount, inbar stalder shoot, and inbar stalder half. We hope these animations serve as a learning tool and help familiarize you with all the skills in the Code! Hopefully one day there will be an animation next to each skill... 

A new photo gallery from the 2000 American Cup has been added and new all-time rosters have been added to the NCAA page for Arizona State, Arkansas, Iowa State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon State, and Penn State. 2007 and 2008 scores have been added for several teams as well, and as always, the 2008 NCAA Routines page has been updated with more skills and teams.

Finally, new profiles have been added for Lavinia Agache and Brandy Johnson.

Even though it's 2008 and this website has now been around for almost SEVEN years, we are just now getting around to having a search feature! On both the information and multimedia pages you will find a search engine powered by Google. Just select either the web or Gymnstands specifically to search on and type in whatever you're looking for! The results will open up in another page on our website, so you can easily navigate to another page if you wish to. 

Also, if you see any ads that interest you on our pages, please click on them and check them out! We are trying to earn some money towards buying our own domain and server space (so we can be on gymn-stands.com instead of designedbytim.com/gymnstands) and at the rate we've moving... it's going to be a while! They aren't on every page because we understand that gets really annoying. Thanks for your support!
