[vilane421]

This girls make being disfigured by a semi truck look athletic and eligant.

They're like "It takes practice mimicking cadavers in strange poses." 

[TuxedoAllure]

Thank for terminology and explanations.

[TsubasaDreams]

This is very helpful in understanding skills, could you please do more of them?

[seriex5]

LOL lov it!! hehe i will stick this vid on the faces of the plp who thinks RG is easy...........who is the first girl in AEON CUP???

[xSleepingAwakex]

very helpful video :) thank you :)

[Swankdor]

wow.. i really wonder how the judges can remember all these terms and how much they are worth..!

[Creamysense]

i would guess they give the judges a program, and they just determine if the person completed that move and deduct points when necessary.

[Dadik1]

Good idea but the titles of the elements are too fast!!

[pointeskatecybunny]

what is the song?

The Adventure by Angels and Airwaves

[CDMthebest4EVER]

AMAZING=)

[nomoregirlz]

that hurts. :D

[DanceCakes]

thanks this really informed me a lot. I'm a dancer and wish I could have had the chance to learn rg. it's rare to find an rg gym in the USA. I'm definitely going to work on some of these moves...but my flexibility comes first! ha

[princessiero2]

It's even harder to find one in the UK! =]

[Lyssenk0]

What is the origin of the term "MG"?

[Splitleap]

Its Modern Gymnastics..

[LovelyDasha]

not actually all turns and balances ..

most of these indeed are flexibilities

because of the promenades and the MG back balances..illusions etc..

i'm a rhythmic gymnast and i don't think i've ever seen the element at 0:34

[youaresodead]

very cool video but a lot of these elements are turns and balances.

[Lyssenk0]

She is the difference between a balance and a flexibility done standing whether you're on releve or not?

[Splitleap]

do you mean the difference of a balance and flexibility?

[Lyssenk0]

Yes...so like the same type of slow turn movement is either a balance or a flexibility depending on whether you're on releve or not?

[Splitleap]

Well both of their difficulty value is different a slow turn with no releve is flexibilty and a slow turn with releve is balance

[sportprincess89]

omg this helped a lottt

im in lvl 8 and my coach decided to give me rlly easy elements unless i can find harder ones and i did!!!!

hehe thnxxx soo muchh

[Yangyun4ever]

Cool , i actually learn from guides like these!

[carlenn2008]

no it isnt i did a gimast competition and it is fast wen your doin it

[baboooo000]

doskoy.

[Syza13]

Good video, but a lot of these difficulties aren't flexibility or wave. You messed slow turns with pivots and balances.

And yes, the words wnt by way too fast! oO

[redhood85]

cool!!!!

[Lyssenk0]

Is a slow turn what they mean by those turning balances (Like Bessonova does at the beginning of her clubs routine)? Or are they two different things?

[itsyrc2]

yes, slow turns are balances where the gymnast stays in position on releve but moves in a circle by pushing her heel forward.  Actual turns have no stops until the end

[Lyssenk0]

Do you have to do it in releve nowadays? I remember Barsukova did her slow turn with a flat foot.

[itsyrc2]

well, witht he new code of points, the slow turns on the flat foot (which is called a promenade), were taken out. They used to count as flexibilities. Now, only the ones are releve were kept and they count as balances.

[Lyssenk0]

I heard a commentator refer to a turning balance as a "tour elan" or "tour longue" or something like that. Have you ever heard a ballet turn for them?

[itsyrc2]

that is the term we use for turning balances. I don't think they have those in ballet, I know ballet has promenades, but I don't think they have 'tour elan' (i don't know if I spelled that correctly...)

[comeontheremustbeone]

like the song like the montage but the words went by way too fast...

[largec]

I have a great amount of respect for rhythmic gymnastics, but I have to admit after a while it gets a little boring to watch.
