[Adam Ross]

I was watching an american routine and i just expected the woman to gainer, i had the whole picture in my head and when she failed to do it, i felt a little sad inside :\
hahaha

[LukeTheNuke]

WHY DON'T THEY GRILL HOT DOGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUTINE?......But seriously that would be sweet.

[Lord Nirmal]

WHY DON'T SOCCER PLAYERS DO 540 OR BUTTERFLY KICKS. SNAPUS WOULD WORK TOO.

i dont even know what to say to that.

[-Envy-]

I could see butterfly twist type skills being used in gymnastics.

[Counterfeit Soda]

I've seen a couple in mens routines before. I don't think any of them were extremely serious competitions though. There was one that was like only the floor routine, and the guidlines were fairly lose, with either celebrities, or the audience judging the routine I think. I forget what it was called, it's been years ago.

[Sakanem]

yeah I've seen the occasional btwist in a routine.

[Torre]

And as for doing their stuff on grass, there are vids of full-ins on youtube.

[thereid]

How come trickers don't do RO>back 1 1/2 >punch front double full>punch rudy? Or RO>whip>layed out thomas...eh?

[BboyAgua]

I do.

[Skippy]

Quiet Agua, you're just a dirty little gymnast. Now make me some coffee.

edit: actually what do you class yourself as Trevor?

[BboyAgua]

*whimper*

[Skippy]

You class yourself as a whimper?

Aww man, come 'ere

*cuddles*

I've seen soccer players do (RO) backflips.

Because tricking moves aren't in gymnastics guidelines, its not a free for all where you can do what you want.

[Hyourinmaru]

lol at first post....

ARGHH!!!:ogre: WHY DON'T GYMNASTS DO MARTIAL ARTS TRICKS IN THEIR ROUTINES!!!!???:ogre:

I KNOW IT MAKES ME TEH ANGRY :ogre::ogre:

haha of course they're not gonna do tricks.

Though it'd be cool if they did slightly more inventive stuff, but their difficulty requirements basically mean that theres no point, and they dont get anything extra for doing something new (they get points taken away for stuff thats not in their moves list).

I'd like to see more aerials/brandys as transition moves. I mean they're doing r-off double fulls, they may as well fflip-stepout brandy-double full, ala sessh haha :wink:

Axe2aerial stuff should be included. It'd be awesome.

Quality post Andy. Only thing I can add is that I see a lot of barani transitions. Check 1:40 (lulz at nickelback soundtrack)

[Counterfeit Soda]

As for butterfly twist, here's a routine, although old. Also double side flip thing.

thanks man, i wrote it with my g/f who's been a gymnast for over 12 years, her dad is a coach and her sister is also a gymnast. She knows her stuff :wink:

we had a massive debate the other night over whether its better to do *slightly* easier moves cleanly or be able to just about pull off harder moves, because after watching some of the mens events, there were people doing the vault landing 2.5 fulls landing perfectly and getting 14's, and someone then lands a triple with two massive steps after underrotating the flip and gets a 16.

I'm one of those people who will always want quality regardless of difficulty. It was an awesome conversation we had haha. She summed it up best though: "you're like that because you trick, I'm a gymnast"

[Counterfeit Soda]

I've noticed I like a lot of older gymnastics videos as well. While it doesn't have the extreme difficulty that routines have nowadays, some of them are so creative it's fucking crazy.

I would think the opposite would be true, gymnasts work hard as hell to make their moves crisp and clean, while the typical tricker says they can do a trick just because they happen to land on their feet, even if it is ugly as hell. Especially when it comes to backyard trickers.

I thought so too...

Gymnasts do work hard to make their moves crisp and clean, but its the difficult ones that we're pushed to make clean. Also because of how routines are marked, you always want the harder moves.

Edit: Also what I meant by Andy thinking the way he does because he tricks is that there are no guidelines or boundrys for tricking, where as in gymnastics theres rules and certain moves that HAVE to be performed at certain levels.

urgh... yeah.

That is awesome on so many levels...

And Andy, don't gymnasts tend to put harder moves into their routine to get a higher initial score?

[jamnin94]

i saw a girl gymnast do an A-twist in on of her rutines and i was amazed 0_o
