[lovenacro12]

[gymnasticsgirl12100]

[pinkpurplehippo]

im in artistic just wondering if acrobatics makes u flexible???????

[TheOnlyChloeMyers]

Any tips on presses?

[slightlyshattered]

@TheOnlyChloeMyers Having an excellent straddle pancake is very beneficial, but without seeing a video I can't really give you any specific tips. Upload a video and I can help more.

[kaloula17]

I'm a top in acro and I find it really hard to a lever to handstand on a person...any tips?

[slightlyshattered]

@kaloula17 How easy is it for you on a set of pedestals?

[kaloula17]

@slightlyshattered Its ok I can get up and hold the handstand and straddle down but when I am doing it on hands I lever really quickly and fall off :S

[slightlyshattered]

@kaloula17 You should post a video of it. People (myself included) will be able to help you out much more effectively that way.

[kaloula17]

@slightlyshattered ok I will in the new year. thanks :)

[kaloula17]

[AllieRoseify]

really? :D that makes me HAPPY hearing that!! i've gained quite a bit of weight as well :/ would that make it really hard?

[slightlyshattered]

@AllieRoseify I would be lying if I said it wouldn't be hard, but it's certainly not impossible. You should go for it!

[AllieRoseify]

amazing! i wish i had never ever given up gymnastics :( anyone know if its really hard to start if you havent done it for about a year?

[slightlyshattered]

@AllieRoseify Taking a year off really isn't that big of a deal. You should go for it!

[volleyballlibero1996]

Lol, and cheerleaders think cheer is still harder than this.

[amkitos]

@volleyballlibero1996 cheer is hard.

[volleyballlibero1996]

@amkitos uh no not even close

[amkitos]

@volleyballlibero1996 It's hard. Not harder than this.

[slightlyshattered]

@amkitos The OP said that cheerleaders think cheer is HARDER than this, not that cheer wasn't hard. No one is disputing that.

i'd like to watch them to!

Jake and Ani are amazing, i saw them at Worlds!

[slightlyshattered]

@sexiigurll123 At :03, do you mean the pair in black and copper? If so, that's Brian and Nikki, who are no longer together. The pair at :06 is a junior pair from Portugal.

[sexiigurll123]

who is the mix pair @ 0:58 ???

i like that skill! what's it called?

[slightlyshattered]

@sexiigurll123 That's Jake and Ani, and the skill is called a diamodov to high arch (or mexican)

[tumblr97]

OMG! im a cheerleader and i thought i saw so many impossbly hard things but that doesnt even compare to this! WOW! this is amazing!

[showjumperluvr4]

luv this! so amazing, great job! are u an acrobat? XD

[Neocola125]

Hey Dylan, i was wondering id you were going to make a video for this years nationals :)

[slightlyshattered]

@Neocola125 Absolutely! Can't quit my annual tradition now! lol

[ihategomez]

wow this is amazing! we have a team that only has 2 tops. and the tos are sisters. there is a level 8 team on miy team. my guess is that most of these people are level 9.

[nmd556]

yah little monkey people! woo!

[vasia2286]

maaadd people))

[francisi1]

wow :O

extremly amazing :OO x3

[WilmaMcCucumber]

Omg that tuck to stag from wrap at the very end 3:47-3:50 was amazing. I've never seen that before, ever!!

[bazrun]

WTF!!! 1:16 was like a transformer like tiki statue

[MidnightBlackBeauty]

wow!amazing..are those children? or are they just small?..im just asking

[slightlyshattered]

@MidnightBlackBeauty No problemo. Most tops aren't any older than 16. Most of the bases are older than that, though, some in the mid to late 20's.

[MidnightBlackBeauty]

@slightlyshattered Thank you.

[MidnightBlackBeauty]

@slightlyshattered Thank you.Now it makes sense:P

[Gothgoddess512]

@slightlyshattered I'm guessing the bases are older because they would be stronger than the younger kids correct? This is a great vid, I want to take classes, but there is no where near me that I can find that has the classes. the people are amazing.

[ihategomez]

@Gothgoddess512 it depends on where you live. i go to platinum in indiana. some places don't have acro teams. anyway when you start you will start at level 4. then 5. and you just go up levels to level9. i do hope that you go and join an acro team.

[kaylzlittlestar]

This should be an olympic sport i think to do this you have to have natural ability. (:

and it should be more known, as its amazing to watch.

[SuperHappy3]

this is so0 cool :D

[emowiis]

Great job - love the Ally cameos :)

[soberanis100]

that's awesome!!!!

you're getting really good guys !!!

congrats !!!

[ParsedGarnish]

Great vid & great gymnastics. The editing is fabulous, IMO. The pacing with the music really captures the excitement of the skills. Well done!

[slightlyshattered]

Thanks!

[intelligenceisnot]

These are fantastic shots.

Too bad the cameraman couldn't afford a quality zoom lens so we, Youtube viewers, could see the performers clearly.

I also would have liked to see each scene last at least twice as long.

No need to rush a good thing.

People are most important to me.

The skill they perform is secondary.

Thank you for bringing these fantastic scenes into my life.

[slightlyshattered]

Thanks... I think.

I'm not a professional videographer. I'm just one of the athletes at the competition. In fact, I'm the base at :11 - :15 and :42 - :45, in addition to some other scenes.

Problem is, very few professional videographers go to acro meets, so I do what I can.

[xxacroxxgym]

wow this is really good:)
