1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Gymnastics and trampoline club that runs out of the Ashburton Racecourse. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: We've been going since twenty fifteen. We actually started in 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: Mesvin as a satellite club and then moved down to 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: Ashburn and then I've just expanded our wings. Really, I've 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: always been involved in gymnastics and trampoline throughout my whole life. 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: I used to be a trampolinist. Myself represented Scotland. My kids. 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: I have six children and all of them have been 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: involved in gymnastics and trampoline. 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: Six kids six in. 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: My eldest son represented New Zealand and my youngest daughter 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: has just been chosen to join the New Zealand team 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: and is off to Australia in November. 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: Prayer mom moment. What a great revenue to burn some energy. 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. The thing is they don't have 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: to stick it well, we like them to stick, but 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: they don't have to stick at gymnastics. The sport transfers 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: to everything. One of my sons has gone off to 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: be an amazing rugby player, another one's gone off to 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: be hot and it all started with the agility that 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: they've formed in gymnastics. So it can be transferred over 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: to any sport. 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, it's been a big year and if I'm 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: not mistaken, recently we've seen a group of was about 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: eight to some national championships. 25 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: That's right, we had eight that went. So this is 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: our fourth year that we've managed to send a team away, 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: so very very proud and all of them making finals 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and we brought home two medals as well. 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: Wow. Were they to cement the wood in Finley? That's right, Glennville. 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: I'm assuming there's a connection there. 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Finley's my daughter. 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: Was she among the top five percent of finishes or something. 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: So they when they're judged and they have a score, 34 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: they set a proficiency score, so you had to get 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: over eighteen out of twenty. Both Finley and Sammy achieved that. Wow, 36 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: so we had two in the top five percent. Finley 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: was actually part of the team as well that brought 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: back the trophy to Canterbury, the Canterbury region. There was 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: four of them for earning the top four spots. 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: You're competing with some big dogs. 41 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: We do. We We're we are the little the little 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: fish in the big pond, so to speak. Are building 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: we are internally grateful for but it's only four and 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: a half meters high and for training that's that's quite low. 45 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: We're normal, we're supposed to train in around ten meters 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: at the moment we're touching the roof, so. 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it must be a little bit of fun. 48 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: We have a competition, we have names, we have posted, 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: so we have different things. Were they where they get 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: to put their name on the roof because they've touched it? 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: Yes, didn't. I also read that Finlay was the only 52 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 2: one from Canterbury that competed across all four disciplines. 53 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Yes, she was the only one that qualified and competed 54 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: in all four. 55 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: So what were those disciplines? 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: So trampline itself, Yeah, syncro, which there's two of them 57 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: on the trampline at the same time. So there's two 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: tramp planes and they do the same routine at the 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: same time. 60 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 61 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: Double mini, which is a trampoline you run at and 62 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: then tumbling. 63 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: It'd probably be quite good at yourself. So trampolining, I mean, 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: we're all familiar with a trampoline. It's a right of 65 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: passage for the childhood. They all crack the egg with 66 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: the brothers. What what's the skill here? What makes it 67 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: a sport. 68 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: So bouncer out back is great. It's great for your 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: vestibular system, it helps regulate, it does all those great things. 70 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: It works every single muscle in your body. I quite 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: often tell my pregnant friends after they've had a baby, 72 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: to get up onto the trampoline, even though they're worried 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: about letting themselves. Yeah, adults don't wear themselves. It's children, 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: but it is. It's it's the best way. It works 75 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: every single muscle and it's gentle on your body. 76 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: So it's good. 77 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic for that. But once it becomes 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: a discipline, it's learning to stay bang in the middle 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: of the trampoline. So it's not it's not moving around 80 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: the trampoline. You want to stay in the middle. You 81 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: want to bounce as high as you can, and the 82 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: skills become more and more difficult. So you start off 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: with your shape jumps and you then you move on 84 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: to your summer saults that you double summer sults, your 85 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: summersaults with twists, and you've got to be able to 86 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: connect all of these without stopping. 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, these athletes must have cols of steel. 88 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: They do they do. Being a most gardens have a 89 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: trampoline and most kids are on it, so they already 90 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: know our sport. Our biggest downfall is they're self taught 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: and understanding that when they've come in off the street, 92 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: as we say grain and they go, oh, I can flip, 93 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: and it's like, yes, but you flip with your head. 94 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: You don't flip with your hips. So now we have 95 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: to reteach you in the hips. Yeah, everything and trampoline starts. 96 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: It really is. Everything starts in the middle of your body. 97 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: It is not taken from your shoulders and it's not 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: taken from your head. And that's probably our biggest problem 99 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: that we have is trying to retrain everybody because they 100 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: go I can already do this and yeah, and then 101 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: they'll go from one end of the trampoline to the 102 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: other end of the trampoline. They can't stay in the 103 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: middle because it's all come from the head and not 104 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: from the hips. 105 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: Ah. Right, that's your big beginner tip. Then yeah, in 106 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: the hips. So I see. In a couple of weeks 107 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: time Sunday the nights of November, we're hosting the Mid 108 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: Canterbury Primary, Intermediate end Secondary School Trampoline Competition at the 109 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: EA Networks Center. This is a first, It is a first. 110 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: We're very excited this week this year. It's usually held 111 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: in rang Eura, but unfortunately with other things that were 112 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: happening and they were unable to hold them. So rather 113 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: than the children miss out for a school's event, we 114 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: decided that we would host it. And I've been very 115 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: very lucky to have the backing of EA Networks and 116 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: also Mid Canterbury Sport who have helped promote this so 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: that we can still have the children represent their schools. 118 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: They lost our gain. It really is how many schools 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: to exps to be involved here. 120 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: Well, for so far entries for the just the Mid 121 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Canterbury region. I've got Long Beach Ashburn and Christian School Ashburn, Intermedia, Hampstead, Mayfield, 122 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: Medveland Primary, Allenton, Fairton, Ashburton College and the Mid Canterbury Homeschool. 123 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: And I'm expecting entries from the christ Church schools and 124 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Rangular schools this week. 125 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: Also it's not just Mid Canterbury, Oh No, this a region. 126 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: This is a huge event. 127 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: Wow yeah Okay. The first time that we've transformed the 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: AA network scene to this year is it and. 129 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: It's our second time we host an annual recreational trampoline 130 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: event every year. It's called the TCI series. So we 131 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: held number two this year in EA. So this is 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: our second time that we're packing up a gym and 133 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: moving up over to AA. 134 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: Is it a big job? 135 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: It's a huge job. It takes two days. Have we 136 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: hire a container and all our equipment is packed down, 137 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: put into the container, the containers taken over to EA. 138 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 1: We unpacked the containers, set up EA, and then after 139 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: the competition's finished, we reverse it. Yeah. 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: How many trampolines do you We take. 141 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: Over two trampolines. You have just two trampolines, all the 142 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: safety equipment and the double mini trampoline and all the 143 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: landing area. Then we have to set up cameras and 144 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: judging tables and other bits and pieces that all go 145 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: with it. Everything. Yeah, every since recorded everything. Yeah, it's 146 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: it's a big league. 147 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. How big are these trampolines? 148 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. They're Olympic sized trampoline, so they're about 149 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: four by two and a half meters three meters. They're 150 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: extremely bouncy, so you can probably get garden trampolines the 151 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: same size as them, but you won't get the bounciness. Yeah. 152 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: So our elastic is four milimeters by four millionaires, so 153 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: it's very very. 154 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: Springy, it sounds. 155 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to be of a certain a certain size, 156 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: and that's what ours are and they're not cheap. But 157 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: one trampoline without any of the safety equipment is in 158 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: excess of thirty five thousand. Who yep? 159 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: Does it come with the safety sides? No? 160 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: No, say no safety sides? 161 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: No? Oh no, I've got nothing to save me. Do 162 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: you have spotters though? Would somebody catch me if I've 163 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: got a little two character? 164 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: Yes, we do have spotters, and yep, they're just trying 165 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: to push you back on the trampoline, not catch you. 166 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: It's actually safer to be pushed on than it is 167 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 1: to be caught and put on the floor. 168 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: I could see that to be fair. Yeah, right on, Okay, 169 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: So what's this tournament all about? 170 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: Them? So basically it's in line with like the gymnastics one, 171 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,239 Speaker 1: so that a minority sport like I was in trampoline, 172 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: have the can showcase their skills and represent their school 173 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: rather than their club. So I've been trying to get 174 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: mid Canterbury schools involved for a number of years, but 175 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: obviously this isn't a sport that's taught in school. Yeah, 176 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: so there has been a wee bit pushback. So it's 177 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: been quite nice this year that because it's in Ashburn 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: and I've been able to push it a weet bit more. 179 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: They don't actually have to be a member of a 180 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: club to participate. We open up dynamics so that we 181 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: can teach them so that kids want who want to 182 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: learn how to do it properly and represent their school 183 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: can so once a week this term, we're doing it 184 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday from three thirty till four thirty, no Thursday, sorry, 185 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: Thursday Thursday three thirty till four thirty. Our doors are 186 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: open for anyone to come in and basically we put 187 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: them through the routine and we let them know that 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: and if in five weeks we can actually teach them 189 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: that routine or not. So we're not brutally honest, we 190 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: will try, but with it being such a short time scale, 191 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: we can say right, yep, we can get you ready 192 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: in five weeks time. You can represent your school. That's 193 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: not a hassle. But we don't insist on membership, we don't, 194 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: and we enter them all as a school. 195 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: So probably the base why is to jump on the 196 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: Dynamic Gymnastics Facebook page headlong this Thursday and then if 197 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: you like what you try, so on up for this competition. Yeap, 198 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: And those entries need to be in by Friday. 199 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Yes, they do, they do. It takes a revery while 200 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: to set up the scoring system, so we need time 201 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: to put all the names in and have everything ready. 202 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, but it's just a great way, another way 203 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: for people who don't always play team sports. Not everybody 204 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: can do a team sport, and with there being an 205 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: individual sport, it's a great way to get kids out 206 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: and especially when they can once we've taught them, they 207 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: can go home and practice. Because almost everybody has a 208 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: blackguarden trampoline. 209 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: What's the bast thing to practice on? A raised trampoline 210 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 2: or the ones that are sunk into the ground act 211 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: nearly no difference. 212 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 1: There's no difference unless your special awareness is involved and 213 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: you want to on the ground is more like what 214 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: you're going to be competing on because our trampolines aren't 215 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: ground level, so just having that above the ground will 216 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: feel more like the real thing. 217 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: I like those sunken entramps because you can get a 218 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 2: run up onto this, but then there is a degree 219 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 2: of risk involved with that. You never quite know where 220 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: you're going to lend. 221 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: That's so true. 222 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: Have some soft turf around you. Oh, this is so fun. 223 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for filling us in on what 224 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: you guys do with dynamic gymnastics, and I'm sure we'll 225 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: stay in touch. All the best for this competition coming 226 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: up on the ninth. Nikki Glenville, thank you very much.
