Vault, because I don[apos]t have to dance. What has been your most memorable moment gymnastics moment at Southeast? We were practicing vault, and I wasn[apos]t doing it correctly, so the team told me I had to wear a helmet. I thought they were serious, but when I got done with my vault, it turned out to be a big joke.
