crazy beam dismount

[lesmay11]

this is so lame!

[deblove369]

This is banned

[ChellsieWeLoveYou]

She basically dismounted with a Tsukahara!!!

[Tribute2the80s]

Nelli Kim did something harder. She did a tucked version of this from an aerial cartwheel off the beam. So basically the same thing with no hands (although tucked). These dismounts are all illegal now.

[LMA629]

yeah I'm pretty sure this skill is banned.

[xXRosiiePiieXx]

This shit is fucking sick(:

[Angel9837]

god id be freaking my ass off and be like wheres the beam!?

[camjay8]

It's a tsuk!!!! No one does that first off all cause it's banned and second of all cause it is one of the hardest dismounts in the book. She doesn't touch the beam she flips basicaly without any momentum.

[gymnsoccer143]

uhmm not all that crazy .. ive seen way better

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@gymnsoccer143 What have you seen that's way better than this?

[Gymbunny98]

yeah its a tsukahara (i think thats the spelling)... by the way, who thinks that a 12 yr old new to national 7 should be doing a tsuk on vault?

[Missnewyork28]

It's not a double pike ! There is only one salto there.

[hearme]

@kaaatify are you blind? Her feet never touch the beam. It's like a tsuk on vault except off the beam. Nice try though...

[slightlyshattered]

@kaaatify Look again. It's a 1 1/2 pike, starting in a handstand at the end of the beam. As the uploader put it, a tsuk pike off the end.

[justinmjb]

@kaaatify you must be sniffing buttholes ya bat shit crazy bitch cuz it's NOT a double pike yo!

[tracyx11]

that doesnt look crazy or dangerous?? loadsa people i saw can do that

[Gymbunny98]

Why is it banned? I am national 6 and we are learning tsukahara's (not sure about the spelling) on vault, and this dismount looks a bit like a tsuk.

[gymbuggy121896]

@Gymbunny98 it's not banned

[xlhdh]

Who is she?

[gymnastmv180]

it's not banned, i saw someone do it this year

[nmd556]

a tsuk!

[panicandfoblvr]

this is nothing.

[Elemarth]

Can someone explain: is this banned or just never performed? One person says it's banned, another says it just hasn't been done in so long that it's not in the CoP anymore.

[gymshiv]

This is almost like a tsukahara off of the beam, kinda obviously its a round off rather than a half on, but close enough

[1Timoteo41]

that is not as difficult as it looks. Just a round off instead of landing on the beam, just stay in the air high enough to do a back salto in a pike position.

[calpolygirl8]

I don't think it's banned -- Sarah Wolford (Level 10 USAG Gymnast) uses it as her dismount. You can search it on youtube: Sarah Wolford Beam.

[LimitlessHelen]

why would it be banned i mean isnt gymnastics itself the most dangerous sport?

i mean even the simplest stuff can go horribley wrong so this shouldnt really be any different.....

sorry if i sound stupid but i dont do gymnastics!

[FluroNikkie]

@LimitlessHelen You Don't Sound Stupid, Handstands.. Let Me Repeat, HANDSTANDS, Can Break Your Neck. Everything In Gymnastics Is About Timing, Landing And Starting.

And.. A Double Back Pike, Banned? That's A Tad Ridiculous.

[gymnast768]

@LimitlessHelen im sure other people have already told you this, but you sound the opposite of stupid. gymnastics really is probably the most dangerous sport out there, so having the nerve to ban skills always makes me mad

[theghastlypirate]

@gymnast768 They are trying to make the most dangerous sport less dangerous. That's why there's a new vault because people died vaulting off the old vault. They ban skills because they are easier to mess up on and seriously injure yourself. Sometimes they take it too far, though.

[LMA629]

@LimitlessHelen some skills have greater risks of going wrong, and this is one of them.

[veevee306]

@LMA629 I agree. With this skill, if the gymnast misses her hands, she'll probably hit her head on the beam at high speed. It's a broken neck waiting to happen.

[xylophone]

@veevee306 When has a gymnast ever missed her hands on a round-off...

[ObsessedWithPassions]

@LimitlessHelen You don't sound stupid at all actually. I've did gymnastics for 13 years and wondered the same thing. Then again some skills are banned because there has been several accidents with them over the years where girls have ended up seriously injured while others are just as dangerous as anything else you can do.

[freeBITCH0]

@LimitlessHelen like some have said, a move gets banned after a certain number of serious injuries, in some cases death, from attempting the skill. as dangerous as any of the skills can be, skills like this have a much higher degree of difficulty and therefore are more likely to get banned.

[JoeJonasIsSOOHawt]

that is very unique!

[Kevinsf]

Why should it be banned? Didn't seem like she had any problem doing it? I'm sure at one point, that's what they said about many skills that gymnast performed these days.

[Stella1love]

this should not be banned!! if you dont get a good block, the worst thing that will happen is you face plant. in my opinion, its not scarier than a double back on beam

[shawnjohnsonlover12]

That is very bad im glad they banned it.

[Cheydow]

How is this more dangerous then doing a double twist off the beam? Sorry if that was a stupid question cuz i'm i don't do gymnastics.. lol :/

[stovengirl]

because your legs are much stronger than your arms. Blocking from your feet has an extremely better chance of landing than off your hands.

[GymnasticsISlife96]

it was a stupid question lol. This is much harder then a double twist. In a double you are flipping once in the air 4 feet above the ground while doing 2 rotations. In this you use your arms to block off (which is very difficult because your arms are much weaker then your legs) andd then do a flip. So you are rotating 1 and a half. Hope you get my point lol

[Cheydow]

i think i do,..lol sry im a figure skater not a gymnast. :]

oh and thanks. :D

[GymLover1717]

that is like a Tsuk on vault!

[live4gymnstics]

If you look at the cope of points fro 2009 its in there under tsuk. it isnt banned

[Lyssenk0]

No it's not!? What's the skill number, then!? It was taken out in 93

[live4gymnstics]

Well I don't know what the skill number/value is but ill tell you after i go to practice monday. and one day at practice we were looking at dismounts and we saw tsuk on the c.o.p. and my friend tried it.

[geddy1997]

Im sorry FSU82alum, it is banned. it isnt u who is doing the gymnastics, so you probably wouldnt know. search for banned skills on youtube videos and it will be on there.

[tbtlover]

I may not be "doing" the gymnastics myself, geddy1997, but I also don't rely on youtube videos to get my facts straight. Thank you live4gymnastics for actually taking the time to look it up in the code of points.

[FSU82alum]

tbtlover is my 15 year old daughter...just ask her then!

[geddy1997]

i dont rely on youtube to get my facts straight either, i am actually a gymnast for ur info.

[FSU82alum]

That's great...go ask your coach to look it up then.

[geddy1997]

i asked. and guess what. i didnt just ask my coach. i asked other coaches, coaches from other gyms. and they all sayed this, "ITS BANNED!!!!!"

[Lyssenk0]

Yea...I think it was taken out of the code of points in 1993. Not sure why. Doesn't seem like it would be any more dangerous than a double tuck dismount in terms of injury.

[hitsugaya1001]

it was banned in '93 because there was a high chance of injury.

[hitsugaya1001]

sorry, but the move is banned. look in the COP. ask the international judges. send an email to the FIG. IT - IS - BANNED.

[hitsugaya1001]

whoops, replied to the wrong person.

[FSU82alum]

NO, It's not banned.  My 15 year old daughter currently does it in her Level 10 beam routine!

[greenkiwi689]

... No bitch, this move is banned.

[wht1t3cr4y0n]

Hmm it kinda looks like a roundoff where she completed half on the beam and half in the air, into a back pike salto

[Grisso90]

isn't this a tsukahara?

[Gymnastics4lyph]

no a tsukahar is a frickin vault skill...

[cjroutines]

It is a tsuk. Mitsuo Tsukahara invented the skill - and it is both a dismount on beam as well as a vault.

[greenkiwi689]

... Skills can have the same name of different pieces of eqipment :/ Obviously your not a good enough gymnast to understand that tho.

[Gymnastics4lyph]

ur an ass

[greenkiwi689]

You would know, after all yours is huge.

[Gymnastics4lyph]

ur mean

[greenkiwi689]

Your a know it all that doesn't know a thing. Get your facts write before you try and tell someone off.

[tristalista]

That would be "right" smart ass!!!

[greenkiwi689]

small typo. At least I don't go around fixing peoples mistakes. :/ Either way this move was banned years ago, that's was my point.

[AMA1235410]

who is this gymnast?

[IngridGymnastics]

Astrid Beckers.

no idea what country...

[ElphabaPWNs]

West Germany

[eMthegymnast]

hey! my beam dismount is the same except i do a full out of it! or a 1 1/2 ! :)

[greenkiwi689]

... You do know this is Illegal now don't you :/

[xplosive08]

piked tcukahara...lol

[aceprettyme]

Wow, I think it was amazing. She must be very talented. :) ♥

[gymnastxbabe88]

its banned now

[bbyangelx]

i thinks its just a sukahara on the beam.

[CLGyMnAsTs]

that is so sweet.

[NastiaLiukinFan]

OMG!!! Wow... :O

[lilgymnastbabi33]

its not a tsuk! tsuk have twists and pikes and somewhat layouts if you do them correctly..thats just a roundoff beam into pike formation =/

[produnov]

This moviment was created by a Brazilian, her name is Claudia Costa and she did it at 1980 Olympics...

[larissitagym]

it´s a tsuk, i´ve already imagined that but i had never seen it before

[gbnflipsta]

hey! im working those (as the previous comment said...) they are REALLY fun but they aren't banned in Illinois high school gymnastics

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Ok, look for "gbnflipsta crazy beam dismount" swear she can almost do this move!

[Raghav91]

can anybody do it on the floor?

[DianaDeLuna]

It was banned because it was too beautiful and interesting. Every attentive gymfan knows that Bruno Grandi HATES beautiful and interesting. >:[

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

No it was banned because of INJURIES that happened to gymnasts attempting this move.

[DianaDeLuna]

Who was injured doing this move? More people have been injured/killed doing Yurchenkos than this, but Yurchenkos were never banned. It's all in the politics.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

One girl was paralyzed. Don't know her name though.

[soapygirl83]

Her name was Julissa Gomez.

Yurchneko is a risky vault but the new vaulting table makes it less risky. (also the tongue mat inbetween the springboard and the vault helped to make all vaults safer)

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Yeah, the new table makes everything less risky.

[AARcrazzy]

didnt she get paralyzed from doing a yurchenco timer?? wat really happened?

[TheHorseyGymnast]

@AARcrassy that is Sang Lan

[mgrifi]

@TheHorseyGymnast that is not sanglan. sanglan is shorter and a bit darker. she also wouldnt be wearing blue leotard...china red ALL the time

[TheHorseyGymnast]

@mgrifi ik i was answering someone's question. but haha that answer was wrong too. julissa gomez is my answer, not sang lan, cuz they asked who got paralyzed doing a yurchenko.

[backflipboy27]

@mgrifi I get your point, but for the record china has worn blue in the past , they wore light blue and white at the 2003 world championships

[sidthesquid74]

I think you'll find one of the earlier people to do that was a russian called Yelena Mukhina and died a few years ago. It may have been in the 70s, could've been the early 80s but she was paralysed as a result

[sevans12345]

She was paralysed just before the 1980 olympics doing an arabian 1 and 3/4 (thomas) salto on floor. Elena shushunova did the same move in her routine during the 1980s. it is now a banned move for women

[sidthesquid74]

Hey, I was close as I said the early 80's. If it's a banned move for women, why not for men?

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

They have much more upper body muscle and hence a better chance of being able to take the impact without hurting themselves.

[sareliz86]

that's awesome, it's like a tsuk off beam!

[cassie05]

holy shit!!! how the crap do you do that and not seriously hurt yourself?

[snowboardchick7]

that wasnt that crazy?

[snowboardchick7]

if you watcha another vid theres like other ppl that do it but i think it is banned

[cityboyz1uk]

Yeah it's like a tsukhara vault, except that you have far less power than on the vault, the gymnast has to push real hard. Another British gymnast did try that in the 1980s - Sally Larner (sp.?) Harder than it looks!

[Golddusttwin1]

How the heck? I've never seen that before.

[alliexbexsexyxmamaaa]

i was banned bc a gymnast hit her feet on the beam during the first pike and landed on her neck and was paralized

[Tereshenko]

It was banned because it was thought to be too dangerous.

[gymnastangel]

omg i had to do that i just cant land it right nowq argg

[Tereshenko]

This is a move that was banned awhile ago. I think she was the only to do it.

[otwgymnastt01]

why was it banned? it doesnt seem too dangerous or anything. my cousin did that off the water trampoline at our lake. its harder off beam, though im sure =]

[raymy620]

Holy shit! I wonder if she even knw she went off the beam.

[nvedbiev1]

thats shyt is crazii as hell how she pulled that off but she did thats hotttttttt

[trampolineguy]

dag.

[xsupergurly01x]

no way thats wierd as hell!!! im so gonna try that when i get back to gym!!!

[DaniGinMB]

its just like a tsuk...
