Justin Spring FX-Men's Gymnastics Trials Prelims:2008

[vonebers55]

The tumbling is awesome but Men's FX has absolutely no artistry. Go watch a vid of Franco Menichelli in the 64 Olympics. The tumbling is basic but great showmanship and style!

[Timboek89]

For females most elements which end in a roll, are banned. The reason for that is that there have been too many accidents with females with those elements.

He went from the first corner to the opposite corner and back 2 times in a raw which is'nt allowed. You can do 2 long passes but after that you need to do a short pass.

[ChainChomp2]

It was allowed back then but changed in the 2009 code

[broileri]

oh, my bad.. thaught that it was on the previous code too but cuess I was wrong.

[ksuhrud]

On his third pass he did a thomas salto. Is it not banned?

[DrAlexisOlson]

In women's gymnastics I think may be banned, but it is certainly not banned for men.

[kungfufreak5]

i cant tell if he did a butterfly twist or an aerial twist

[LincolnWayGymnastics]

wait!! NO strength part!????

doesnt he need one?

[ThePenguin888]

He needs an element from element group 1 (which is where the strength elements come from), and he fulfills it with full twisting butterfly.

[xmaparkour]

okay thanks =]

[hunkymodel01]

is that a triple double in the mount or a double double? I know he's capable of the triple double but I can't tell...

[colormiibarbie]

it looks to be a triple double unless im mistaken...

[ThePenguin888]

It's a double double. He hasn't done a triple double since his injury.

[bunnyman1245]

@colormiibarbie its a double double

[slightlyshattered]

@colormiibarbie It's only a double double.

[backflipboy27]

@colormiibarbie it was a double-double

[RandomCoked]

[Samtheman002]

[severmine]

aerial/butterfly twists in actual gymnastics??? am I out of the loop, or is this new?

[colormiibarbie]

I'm thinking it's new...I haven't seen it combined in performances, so I'm going with it's new...

[metalblade1]

no not new at all its a very old move

[metalblade1]

not new very old

[colormiibarbie]

well then it hasn't been used for a while, or not alot of gymnasts use it because no one recognizes it...
