Uneven Bars Mount Guide Gymnastics

[missiLexy]

I love 1:33 it's difficult but it's also very fun

[LiveLoveeMusic16]

Those are some crazy difficult mounts! My coach wants me to do the third one I think it was.. the straight jump full kip up. Yeahh Is Really Hard.

[OzKidsActivities]

very nice

[yoliss94]

2:23 was wonderful

[nicksline]

They really should upgrade the difficulty of a lot of these. I mean of course people aren't going to do interesting mounts if they aren't rewarded. I think all of these should at least go up one letter.

[ParadiseBird1101]

@aftermath9012 It doesnt hurt if youre trained because the bars are a little flexible theyre not like iron bars XD if you have good body tension its the same as sitting down and well bouncing off again XD

[TheRoxy88able]

A= ?

B= ?

C= ?

D= ?

E= ?

[brycehelmer]

Can you still do the arabian mount with the bars we use today?

[StelenaVD]

OLESSIA DUDNIK IS MY COACH!!!! 2:19

[LCAmarkymark]

@StelenaVD where is she coaching now...thats awesome

[StelenaVD]

@LCAmarkymark YEah it is! She's actually in Egypt now!! I'm not lying.

[LCAmarkymark]

@StelenaVD thats so awesome. She is one of the greatest...I hope she knows that. Great to hear she is still in Egypt.

[StelenaVD]

@LCAmarkymark Yeah she is! I'll tell her you said that xD

[bubblokimbo]

yay now i got more ideas for my mount!!! thx @MostepanovaFan

[camjay8]

Is the arabaan the most ifficult mount or are there others?

[LMA629]

some of these mounts were really cool!! I wish gymnasts these days would perform them.

[MrsShazziePepper1996]

I really like the old-school uneven bars!

[ilikecandy94]

wow i wish we saw more of these! it would be so much more interesting than just a kip! i <3 the one at 2:19!

[wachtler322]

ohh my 3:00(:

[3pivotmasters]

this is intense.

[Lachsfilet]

There was a lot of spectacular mounts.. Still I liked the one at 3:00 most ^^

[tedsler]

Great montage!

I really enjoy all the ones you have done in various skills and added the difficulty and everything :)

[jrlassiter]

this is just great. i like the McNamara mounts she made them look so easy.

[piinkspaarklee]

the first one is nastia luikin.

[emiliatrag]

@MostepanovaFan DO you know if Round-Off Arabian mount to handstand on low-bar is in the code book? It was done in "Make it or break it" by Kayle Cruz and seemed really cool. If you can find anything, then can you post it in youtube?

[katkat3able]

is that what thy are called uneven or are they just really uneven

[Beccka]

A few of these I think wouldn't be possible any more, given the distance between the high and low bars (mostly the ones where the gymnast approaches from the low bar and needs to clear it to get to the high bar) but it would be lovely if more complicated mounts became popular again.

Awesome guide!

[stigmaticraven]

I have said it before and I will say it forever Poetry in Motion...The Body Human Imperfecta

[scorptale]

2:21 is the best....

[hurdlestar08]

2:10 is so cool an 2:21 is theee COOLEST i love round offs onto bars

[AnndyHuuynh]

i hate how guys cant do uneven bars -_-'

[loveetwilight69]

the one at 1:31 looks a little painfull...lol.

how come gymnasts don't do some of these anymore? they look so cool. and it's better than just doing a kip or jumping to the high bar. !

[Babybling18]

1:30 is amazing

[justin1gibson]

i like the video , I wasnt really anygood at doing mounts on bars but i sure could rock a double front dismount though. One skill i would love to see competed is a one and half twist handstand catch to the lowbar instead of the regular half twist catch. That is the skill i was working on when i got hurt and had to quit gymnastics. I wanted it to be named after me but in order to do that you have to compete the skill in a national meet. I didnt make it, so bummer! I would love to see it done.

[TheGmynasticsCop1]

Jeez! The new gymnasts need to take a lesson in artistic gymnastics from these girls! >:) Teach them a thing or two about being artistic again!!! LOL

[hellsangel87]

don't see anyone do mounts like that anymore = (

[chizzyoma]

@hellsangel87 its so true and very sad because they are so creative and cool. They definitely give a routine a little more edge.

[jamesbondrocks]

That's why dudnik is my favorite!!! omg she's the bomb. hope she's enjoying egypt!

[veevee305]

I love the round-off straddle flight to low bar. It's only B difficulty, but looks so awesome.

[huntasoup]

Wow, I just realized that there are lots of mounts I had never seen before. Gymastics was so much more artistic back in the days...

[afgymnast96]

@huntasoup part of the problem is that people want to save energy for the big skills, and since the mount isn't required to count in the score, most people to glide kips.sorta sad how redundant it looks today ;(

[adla0nastia]

nastia.. my babyyy i love her

[havarahel]

Can gymnast now days do those mounts?? Lately I'm seeing only A difficulty mounts.

[girlygal902]

do you guys know what the weight limit for the gymnastics bars is

[havarahel]

@girlygal902 I think you have to be very heavy to break it.

[sidthesquid74]

WOW!!!

[MsSammyxoxo]

They're sooo good !!!

[morenodelaorilla]

very good

[Elemarth]

There absolutely should be extra points for doing a B or C mount.

Kip to stoop through - surely the bar transfer isn't A-level?! I still can't find that transfer in the CoP.

And the kip with straddle cut - I wonder if that is a release move. The gymnast doesn't go far from the bar, but she does release, and I don't see any place where the COP says that doesn't count. It would be the easiest release move ever, but...

[53Playmate]

this is awesome

[Paraiah]

Those are all amazing! I can't believe some of the D and E grade moves. o.O

[marcel1k8]

THat is a mad {as in really cool} vid well done. u r a pro :)

[vesperholly]

There should be extra bonus points for gymnasts doing D or E mounts ...

[kitcat2400]

yea and espessially to gymnasts doing f and g mounts cause they are rarley ever done!

[Gr33nkiwi]

Aha, I laughed so hard at "Could all current gymnasts take note: the glide kip, straddle vault and jump to high bar are not the only options"

I think we'll see even MORE unoriginal mounts since only 8 skills count now. Unless a gymnast can perform a D or E mount consistently they'll probably just use an easy one to avoid losing points.

[Hasoginy]

Dudnik is crazy on both beam and bars...

[Andrespgfld]

i wanna learn 4:20

[bzach71]

Olessia Dudnik's 2:26 is a wow.

[kitcat2400]

wow i kno

[mpca66]

1.10 was my mount ! .. when the bars were much, much closer ;-)

[angie4299]

i want to learn 2:20 its sooooo coool

[aneal138]

good lord i didn't know it was so complicated

[GymMonkeyAz]

the hect kips arent done very offtenly anymore casuse its hard to reach the bar and get the apprpriate swing to make the kip.

[gemarno]

God job !

Thank you so much !

[ikkansee]

Very Nice & Great video , thank you , :-))

[skycub99]

this is exactly the kind of gymnastics video I like to see if it's not a full competition!! i would give 10 stars if possible!

[starluvr5204]

and the gurova.and 2:21 and 3:13.WOW

[starluvr5204]

OMG.2:09 is sick!! i am so gonna learn that one!!!

[ApolytonGP]

Is the mount a required element (they have to count the score of the mount)?

[MostepanovaFan]

No they don't have to count it (which is probably why so many people do glide kips)

[ApolytonGP]

They should have to. It would be such a simple way to encourage more interesting work. If someone wants to count an A, they would make more of a decision that way.

[StephAndChelc]

does this mean that some times they might not add the value of your mount to your start value??? if thats what it means that would suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TsubasaDreams]

No, if you do a difficult mount and it was in the top 8 skills then it would count, but if you do an easy mount that is not in the top 8 skills then it wouldn't count. What they are saying is that they should count the mount towards the start value.

[bubblesandbackflips]

@MostepanovaFan Really? I thought it was part of the routine and counted towards the c-score...?

[MaebySurelyBarely]

@bubblesandbackflips No, the code only specifies "The maximum 8 highest difficulties including the dismount are counted for DV." Also, you probably just made a typing error, but there is no c-score (just d for difficulty score and e for execution).

[mseastbay]

@MostepanovaFan What do you mean? Are you saying that the judges don't have to count the mount toward meeting the requirements? Why is that?

[bunbacheso]

@mseastbay I think she means that it does not have to be included in the group of elements that count for a difficulty score if it is not one of the most difficult elements. Like if everything else is d or e level, but the mount is a, there won't be an a in the score. Does that make sense or am I being a weirdo?

[mseastbay]

@bunbacheso Well I understand what you're saying, but if you DID choose a mount that was a C (for example), then you would have met one of your required C skills by using that mount. Maybe she's saying that by the time you fulfill your other requirements, you have enough difficulty that you don't need another valuable element. I guess if you do all of the direction changing, release skills, bar changes, etc, you don't need a hard mount!

[VictorPepitoGrillo]

Very nice video! Most of these elements are really unusuals nowadays on uneven bars.

[loveiswhatever]

i am going to start working on a GUROVA now

[kevinlongwood]

i didn't know there were so many mounts on bars. people should start doing these mounts again. uneven bars gets so uncreative these days

[PhillyGal4Ever]

This is just awesome! Thank you for this helpful guide! Much appreciated! :)

[gymnastics46]

what about a somi down mount?

[danielcnsilva]

is this video with the difficult scores of 2009??

[MostepanovaFan]

Yes, this uses the 2009 code

[DingoDoggyLover]

so cool!

[wc213]

Is 1:03 even possible with the distance between the bars today?

[transimania]

great video =]

[affluence8]

Very Nice Man. Superb. 5 Stars.

[AliceC2101]

Cool!

[angeandbella]

Brilliant!

[ConcreteAngelx3]

what do the difficulty levels mean??

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

A being the easiest and G being the most difficult that is how gymnastic skills are graded

[GalitMirav]

Could you even do some of these with the bars so far apart now?

[SilverQueen]

That's what I was wondering.

[mistybabe5489]

if they're in the code i guess the FIG thinks they are still doable

[sum1ecclectic]

WOW! thank you for this montage!! It would be so nice to see some of these mounts make a comeback since they are very cool. I especially love the salto onto the bars ones and the handstand onto the bars. They are exciting to watch and much more innovative than what the gymnasts these days do. Thanks again!

[boytoyville]

Thank you so much. They need to up th value of mounts. I really miss cool mounts!

[isa1285]

Refreshing... nowadays is just one mount... and a bunch of release moves from the high bar... so the low bar nowadays is pretty much just for mounting.

[kewlioto]

yay for variety! i'd like to see some current girls do what dudnik did! (the one exception i can think of on the US team is jana)

[adnaadna]

great montage! i never saw some of those , i need to watch some older gymnastics :O.

[thatcoolkidx69]

i agree with florence2000 you should send it to all the coaches becuz im sick of the kip mount on bars its boring and everyone does it

[ClayBabe6]

loved it!

[florence2000]

I love these - thank you so much. Im bored bored bored with world class gymnasts doing a kip mount on bars! You should send this to all their coaches!

[caramelcreamsauce]

Totally! Shawn Johnson is clearly capable of more than a free jump to HB - look at her 2 1/2 dismount!!!

[londongymgurl]

she only does a double twist and two flips not 2 1/2

[caramelcreamsauce]

Sorry :)
