Tight Drills

A few spotted tight drills:

A little sass with the brass

Daisharin Tetsubo-kun Horizontal Bar Gymnast Game tested

This can get slightly addicting.  You don't want to give up until you get the dismount stick (velcro mat).  I've made it happen a couple of times.

I've pulled this out during bars rotation a couple of times for my 3/4s.  If they make a correction on my set of bars, they get to go have a 60 sec turn with this toy.  I'm thinking maybe I should offer a prize for anyone who makes the gymnast stick a landing.  So additional incentive to get more turns on the toy....which means making more corrections/better performance each time they come back around to my set of bars for testing.

How to do a true wall handstand

Harder than you assumed.

Handstand push-ups, pirouettes, and planching with daughter on his back

7 years ago, I came across a video of a father doing handstand push-ups with his daughter on his back.  It was a pretty cool video, which inspired me to try it, even though I was pretty much out of shape (there was a time when handstand push-ups were a breeze).

It seems that video and YouTube account are no more.  But you can still find its sequels here:

TBT: Doris Fuchs Brause

1966 World Championships travesty:

Again, disappointment found Doris at the 1966 World Championships.  Her performance on the UB was underscored at 9.866 that caused the audience to explode into thunderous and continuous noise halting the competition for one hour and fifteen minutes; however, the gymnasticswise audience was unable to influence her score. It was not changed. Many in the world’s gymnastic community feel that it was this performance that revolutionized the future of uneven bar routines with its continuous movement and daring elements such as a between the bars salto also known as a Radochia salto according to Wright or a “Brause” according to Doris.
