" I learned a lot this weekend, and it goes far beyond just learning how to do handstand pushups and back levers....here are the things I learned this weekend:

1. People from Texas say "damn" a lot. I have at least doubled the frequency of the use of the word "damn" in normal conversation after spending 2 days with Tucker.

2. No matter how sneaky you think you can be, Tucker will ALWAYS catch you for not wrapping your thumb around the damn bar.

3. Your extra supportive sports bra is your best friend if you are going to be upside down in a room full of men.

4. If you are spotting a handstand press, and you don't get your head out of the way, you end up scissored between Kelly Moore's legs as if she has a damn G-string full of dollar bills and was twirling on a pole at your bachelor party. Pervert.

5. "Free bleeding" is discouraged, and will require that you stick a tampon in your nose if you want to keep participating in Jeff Tucker's damn certification.

6. If you're going to take a two handed grab of someone's ass when they're upside down, DON'T chalk up like a maniac beforehand. Chalk leaves evidence. Enough said.

7. If you have a "well developed posterior chain" (thanks Brian Mac), it will be difficult to skin the damn cat without someone's hand shoving your big butt through for you. Thanks to everyone who volunteered by the way.

8. In order to properly spot someone, you need to be "all up on their bacon".

9. After 2 days of playing "let's be upside down" your body will hurt like you're a 90 year old woman."; November 17, 2008 at 6:46 PM

Gio said...: Tuck, I can not say how much I appreciate the fact that you took your own time to explain to everyone about safety, and baby stepping all of those moves into a full fledged gymnastics move.

Once again I am amazed at your acute awareness of communication to those around you. Some people take a very long time to realize how affective the spoken word is and some don't ever get it.

You are able to captivate an audience just by being you, humble, humorous, and genuine and still make your point all in one sentence. That my friend is skill. It has something to do with a gift and a calling from above.

Speak soon, and wish the Family and the crew at GSX a great Chicago Thank you, and Hello.
