This just reminds me of how much of women's gymnastics is "Hurl yourself at an immovable object that could cripple you, but do it just right and you do something awesome" I started gymnastics at the age of 3 in the 80's. I use to do so many of those stunts.

It's funny to watch them be so pleased with those quad flicks while their hands aren't even in the same zip code as the beam 😂

You’re forgetting that those 5 back walkovers at the beginning require that your hands land ON THE BAR not to each side of it or you’ll face plant!

I admit I enjoy seeing how difficult some of these skills are for male gymnasts. Female gymnastics is as skilled as men's with its own unique challenges. Keep on swinging boy, it's a joy to watch.

I wish that there was a special section at the Olympics where the gymnasts could do their routines into/ over foam pits so that they could still perform some of the more batshit dangerous routines with less actual danger involved. Just a special extra portion of the competition where sticking the landing doesn't matter, just the skills you perform, so that we could see all the crazy stuff that only gets banned due to physics being mean when you hit the ground lol.

Another fun video!
The reason the women’s gymnast was able to do the front into the arabesque is because she is doing an aerial walkover, which naturally lands on one leg, instead of a front tuck, which puts you into position to land on two legs. Try it with the aerial walkover and see if you have more success.
When you do beam tricks on the tape on the mat, I would like to see you do them with your hands on the “beam” as well as your feet. It would be more authentic and give you a closer experience to how the trick works and feels. If you feel comfortable doing so on some of the less dangerous skills, I would enjoy seeing you trying some things on the low practice beam, even the wide one, for an even closer test of the tricks. It does change things having it be an actual beam as opposed to a tape “beam” in the floor.

"Lukes" is my new favorite form of measurement. Imperial or metric can kick rocks.

"[Inaudible Yorkshire]" was the most relatable thing I've seen all day, and I'm not even from Yorkshire 😂

The "double cat leap" is a single axle in figure skating - just an FYI ❤

Remember Olga Korbut didn’t have such a bouncy floor as you people have now! I loved the video and enjoyed watching how skilled you all are and the ease with which you made some incredible moves. I’m disappointed you didn’t try Olga Korbut’s banned move on the asymmetrical bars where she stood on the top bar and did a back somersault 😊. Or the Korbut flip!

gymnasts make skills look so easy and it isn't till you see a gymnast try new skills that we realize how hard they actually are. this video was really interesting to watch.

[waterfallsandrain]

Thank you for these. My respect for gymnasts grows each time I learn more about how dangerous the sport can be, and how difficult it is.

I miss the arabesque landings on beam. I wish we could ban wolf turns and bring back the arabesques. Sometimes the code forgets that there is an audience to the sport. Wolf turns are hideous.

[sxyskybluiz]

It is so good to see the three of you together again and up to your normal shenanigans. I look forward to sing videos from all three of you.

[lizzaangelis]

I hear the hardest part about teaching a gymnast to be a diver is teaching them to land on their heads…..it seems unnatural to land on something other than your feet lol

[farkenshnoff]

"Easy peasy lemon squackers" makes me uncontrollably giggle every time lmao, it always catches me off guard 9:50

I love watching these gents. I was a gymnast, and my daughter is now a coach. It’s so much fun to go into her gym and watch her coach the kids. I wonder how many of those kids will continue on into adulthood?

[victoriataala]

Errmmm in the beam backflips you would have all fallen off - none of your hands placed! But still love you guys!

[viivalabamf]

I loved watching the first one, the beam, because like, yeah they could fit 5-6 for sure. but their arms were so wide, they would've slipped off lol

[olienajh]

Love seeing you all in your happy place doing crazy stuff. Luke’s belly flop was excellent & when Nile was describing the multiple tumbles on the fast track it’s like listening to a foreign language but I love it!!
