A Gymnastics Video

Oct 29 2010

First meet my class, then I invented a little bar and beam routine and filmed it, you know, to track my progress. That’s at the end.

This is my gym, the East York Gymnastics Club (warning: site plays music)

BARS

– mount, up to top bar, down to bottom, back up to top, dismount

– springboard to ? > jump to top > kip cast to ? > down to lower > kip cast to easy transition > kip cast to dismount > back tuck

BEAM

– mount, two lines, dismount

– spring board to catleap > cartwheel back walkover > split jump to turn > front walk over to dismount round off back tuck

FLOOR

– two tumbling lines connected by as little dance as possible

– front tuck round off back handspring back tuck > over to other corner > second tumbling line

VAULT

– front normal one

ALSO

– giants on the big bar with that thing

I'm in Gymnastics

Oct 29 2010

Twice a week for the past three I’m back in the gym… I did some when I was a kid, and who knew muscle memory stuck around for that long?!

This is me doing a front tuck this summer; it’s grainy I know, filmed with my Blackberry.

After I realized I could still do that I researched around, chose a gymnastics club and tada, fun and exercise ahoy.

Here’s some screenshots from a video I made about my class. Like how I took the most dramatic frames? ;)

That’s the best part about gymnastics, bottom right – you can make yourself actually fly.
