gymnastics - backward giant on bars

[Tintenfischchen]

great giants, but the title says 'backward giant' and these are normal (forward) giants...

[gymnastics1344hockey]

I'm working on giants and the person in the video looks just like me!!! hahaha

[Twintastic29]

Those were reallllly good giants. Mine are awful compared to those. Great coaching too! :)

[BboyFreaxxx]

@failurebydesignxo fuck your uncle

[maddiepaige623]

any one could do that

[rikiricochet]

that's awesome :D

[GymMonkeyAz]

Wow. Your like the only person I've seen that makes the gymnasts round over the bars instead of sticking out their chest and arching over. This is the way a giant should be done.

[SuperFootball05]

they make it look SO easy!

[LeftyChipper]

@SuperFootball05 LOL I know....

[failurebydesignxo]

THAT'S MY UNCLE YAAAAAAAAAY

[Imransvideos]

[JessicaGymnast25]

[JTGPCFL]

Congrats! :D

[gymnastchick1001]

congrats that sounds like a great attitude u have! way to go!

[ronniix3ninjas]

do you guys not have any level 8's at your gym? its pretty hard not to have a giant and be in level 8 or higher. its even hard for a level 7, to not have a giant.

[Gymnast1709]

i remember my coach saying i was gonna learn giants ad i literally got up there and pretty much did it. like it was something natural to me.

[daltonsbabea]

I've been practicng my giant, but I just can't seem to get it! It's partly for fear, but's also cuz I can't cast high enough to do one. Any tips on how to cast?.... anyone.... no?....... oh well, time to hit the gym agin I guess.

[ShellieRH]

Well, at my gym, we always teach giants on low bar first - 1st because its less scary & 2nd its forces you to bend your legs so you can just concertrate on going over the bar & then work on the form.

I also found that tiliting my head back to look at your hands, just before pushing teh swing up helps (but that's just me)

I hope that helps and that you get it very soon!

[ronniix3ninjas]

just get your shoulders over the bar, your feet will pretty much just follow. try a straddle cast, then once you get that move onto a regular cast. its a lot of core muscle strength.

[SingingIsJoy11]

that's my gym!

[texangurli96]

really good! :)

[igoturback4sho]

he touches 7 year olds ass 1:03

[firstjesse]

I liked that the girls were hollowing properly on the downswing but larger girls will have to have a pronounced tap or they wont make it

[3TalentedSuperstars]

that looks hard

[OhnoLuver24]

are giants hard?

i'm not in gymnastics so i woulden't know.

they make them look really esay

[13chickjami]

giants can be hard to learn but once gymnasts get the hang of it, it is pretty easy.. its just like learning how to ride a bike.

[TuesdayPillow]

It is more scary than it is hard - once a gymnast gets over the fear of making it or not making it, it becomes fairly easy.

[GymnasticsLuver247]

omg that reminds me when i did my first giant wen i was ten i did a backwards one it was so scary care it ws my first one lolz

[xOlilgymchickyOx22]

i just got my giant!!!! yaaa!!!

[tsukqueen]

It is great to see a coach teach proper giant technique. I love the 3/4 or scoop as he calls it. MOst coaches let their gymnast come up with an arch, which will hurt future skills.

[AllstarObsession]

They make it look so easy!!!!

[GymBugg1028]

Wow they need to stop at a handstand FIRST before you go over the bar.... In all very good... and BoBoOats, opgymnast4life, and GymFrogg, GET A LIFE! This vid wasn't made for you guys to be mean and brag on..

[tsukqueen]

you aren't supposed to stop on top of the bar in your giant.

[KateeAmeliaa91]

When I learnt how to do Giants we held it slightly on top of the bar cause how are you going to learn how to control it when you come to learning pirouettes? If you just keep practising spinning round it'll make it harder for the gymnast to learn how to control it in the future. The only time you don't stop is when you're winding up for dismount. But maybe you just got taught in a different way =)

[Olozim]

Very good video, I like how it shows the "scoop" that ALOT of gymnasts miss. Great instruction.

[Nicole4728]

Yea u need to stop in a handstand....but good job anyway!

[himjac]

they need to stop in handstand before they go around again!!!!

[gymnast4ever]

The thing is, if thoy're just learning it then it's better to learn how to keep going around the bars, instead of hitting handstand and getting no momentum. They are also learning proper positioning while staying hollow, that is essential for tapping as you go around the bar.

[tsukqueen]

no they don't.. they should build speed

[Monkeyfunnystuff]

God you people are crazy, Sure brag, you guys suck! Im not going to brag how good my giants are and how bad hers were( even tho hers were good) You people are so mean!

[BoBoOats]

I can do that.

[opgymnast4life]

omg that was 9 giants omg i can do that on the regular bar and i am on level 5

[GymFrogg]

lol yeah I no. i actually i learned that when I was in level 4 with my awesome coach, but still my giants are better. no. much more better than hers. Those arnt that good anyways she doesnt tap that well. pretty good tho not a lot tho

[stgymnast08]

arent u cool

[KaraKarateka]

I think you people need to get over yourselves. It's not like this vid is entitled, I can do giants and you can't! No one cares how good you are, it's irrelevant to this vid.

[cwgcGymnast]

WOW U CAN GIANT i can giant too its no biggy!!!!!

AND so wat der onli lil der lerning!!! deh!!!

[sabrinashyco9]
