Im 12 yrs old and i've never done gymnastics. I would really like to start, I have average flexibility and cant do flips or tucks. Do you think that I could still be a good gymnast?

Not looking for the "natural ability" crap. I want honest answers that will help me. I dont plan on anything huge just something for me to do. maybe something i could do for college.

Lots of gymnasts don't have natural ability...it takes more patience, commitment, and effort.

Ok. Heres the truth. I am 12 years old and am a level 10 gymnast. You could start gymnastics now, but you would have to work REALY REALY HARD to make it all the way. But My friend started 2 years ago and she is 15 she is already a level 8! But you would need to work really hard! Hope this helps. If you need anymore gymnastics advice go to my group at GymnasticsAdvice. Hope this helps, Good luck.

I think that you would be great! I started out at 12 years old with no natural ability! Trust me! I could do a "barely-roundoff" Now I'm 14 and I have my backhandspring tucks down. I think that gymnastics is a really great sport and it is TONS of fun and a good way to keep yourself in shape!
Lots of luck!

it is a little late to start, but if you were really dedicated you could make something of it.
good luck!
