Make It or Break It: Volume One - Extended Edition (DVD) NEW

Training to be an Olympic gymnast is excruciatingly hard work and leaves little time for anything else in a preteen's life. Fellow female gymnasts and friends Payson (Ayla Kell), Kaylie (Josie Loren), and Lauren (Cassie Scerbo) have trained together for years at the Rocky Mountain Gymnastic Training Center, better known as "The Rock." The three top-ranked young women are in line to represent their team at Nationals, and, if they perform well, their placement in the top 12 will send them on to their ultimate goal of competing in the 2012 Olympic Games. The girls' lives revolve around training and they are bound by strict rules that forbid boyfriends, jobs, and any real social life. Their sacrifices are huge, but absolutely essential in creating and maintaining the intense focus and determination necessary for competing at the Olympic level. Despite the best efforts of the girls and their families to avoid distractions, every member of The Rock is shaken up when new girl and unknown gymnast Emily (Chelsea Hobbs) joins the gym on a scholarship and seems to have a shot at making Nationals; coach Marty (Erik Palladino) suddenly leaves the team; new coach Sasha (Neil Jackson) takes over; and personal problems threaten to sidetrack each of them. Even Coach Sasha's firm hand and zero tolerance for mistakes can't protect the girls from the real-life ups and downs that come with growing up, family life, love, injuries, and financial instability. What the girls learn as they struggle to focus on their gymnastic training and Olympic dreams are some very difficult lessons about friendship, family, love, control, and being part of a team. This extended edition contains the first nine episodes of the series as well as a 10th extended finale episode, "All That Glitters." Bonus features include six deleted scenes and a 9-minute making-of featurette with interview footage of the four major stars as well as writer Holly Sorensen, gymnastic coach Carolyn Day, and stunt coordinator Greg
