Ex-Gymnasts as Stuntwomen – Women Stunt Experts
You already know the gymnast’s daring, you know how to fall down, and that he performed for the crowd. So how do you think about becoming a stunwoman or a double stun? You might end up in the movies! This competitive career would very likely mean relocating to Los Angeles. There are some internet search resources organizations dedicated to helping people find work.
United Stuntwomen’s Association (USA) Going through the bio on their website, I found a former national gymnast who is currently working as a stuntwoman.
Luci Romberg’s stuntwomen features.com, featuring another sand stuntwomen feature. According to her bio, she was a “USAG National All-Around Champion and an 11-time All-American Gymnast and has many film credits Bratz: The Movie – a double slot for Skylar Shaye and Zombieland – stunt double for Abigail Breslin”.
The top gymnastic skills are shakes, trampolines, mini-passes, and of course if the actress can double the top, that can’t hurt!
Gymnastics Judge
Check with your state’s high school leagues for requirements to be considered for high school gymnastics. I was a high school judge school year and I was a great way to be involved in gymnastics part time.
If you are interested in becoming a Gymnastics Judge with USA Gymnastics, check out our guide: How to Become a Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Judge.
To be a judge at the Olympic, you must become a member of the United States Gymnastics (USAG). Next, you need to get approved and evaluated by taking tests. Check out their requirements: Judging Accreditation.
