@billyjoejimbob75 he says 'his grandfather was an actor so...' and he said that clearly. 92 people who liked your comment must be deaf.. shit, and we wonder how kid's can listen to rap music and not even understand what the lyrics are about when they are deaf a post.
Its an old competition that used to be held, the Reeses Gymnastics Cup. It was basically a fun meet where the worlds best came to do really wacky routines like this for their fans and for some kind of weird prize (I remember one year it was a guitar). They stopped doing them though so we just have the tours after the Games and the crappy Progressive shows every year.
@thecalibookworm yeah, they should bring back the Reeses cup. I really enjoyed that. John Macready was always the best at these competitions though. Definitely a showman.
I'm pretty sure the prize the Reese's Cup winners received was money (unless they were maintaining NCAA eligibility). The competition that gave electric guitars as prizes was the Rock N Roll Championships, which was similar in format but the athletes only performed on floor exercise.
well in ttricking it would at least be called a triple flash kick xD (although in tricking it's more of a kicking motion = not constantly straight legs. check out Steve Terada and u will prolly get the point)
Eh, to the QQers who say that he's being stupid... sigh, inferiority complex much?
It takes courage (and a heck lot of it) to 'look' stupid while doing something seriously. 'looking' cool and failing at everything else, all the whilst claiming that oneself has any semblance of a life = fail.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hi,
Over 35 years in the sport as a teacher, coach, and administrator, at the pre school to world class level, multiple national team member, multiple national champion coach, nationally and internationally rated judge, inventor of the judging bias system, coached by the BEST coaches in the world......let's just say I am more qualified than anyone in the world to make that comment!
Having said that, YOUR RIGHT, what I say don't matter cause the people in charge of gymnastics don't listen!
Gymnastics is about as real as the WWF and Jerry Springer now! 75% of the scores are wrong, and there is 50% more bias. The judges just pick who they want to win, it has nothing todo with objectivity anymore.
I still love gymnastics and it is still the best physical fitness activity in the world, but as a sport it is a JOKE!
there's your real question..."what happen to this guy?" when I want gymnastics I want gymnastics. when I want to watch silliness I go to a comedy club. Sorry just not my cup-o-tea.
i liked the robot and the baby one they were awesome so nobody should say that was bab becuse it is not it is just weard sooooooooo that was awesome and i meet you at flip fest he awesome and so was philop he was scworting us he scworted me and it was so cold and it was cold ice water
What a goofy guy...nice gymnastics moves though...but I don't like how (according to the commentators) his REAL goal in life is to be an actor...and this gymnastics thing is just a stepping stone or sideshow. Boooooo how disrespectful. I wish I could be as good at gymnastics as him. He should fully appreciate the talents he has instead of wishing he had acting ones.
Are you serious? He's about 35 years old and hasn't competed Elite in almost ten years... how can you fault him for having aspirations outside gymnastics?
Yea, but wasn't this video made a decade ago or something when he was at his peak? The commentators gave the impression that he was like oh, never mind gymnastics, what i REALLY want to be good at and successful at is acting...what a perfect opportunity to show off my awesomely entertaining showbiz skills (which he doesn't have lol).
I think you're reading too far into this. Gymnasts' careers don't last long. At a certain point, they have to start thinking of what they want to do after they retire. At the time these videos were taken, he had already been to the Olympics and achieved his lifelong goal. It would be dumb of him to NOT have an interest in pursuits outside the gym. And, actually, compared to most gymnasts, he does have a great performance quality and a visible love (and talent) for performing.
I love those people. They're so intelligent (that wasn't sarcasm), open-minded, and ahead of the curve. One example: they smoke pot instead of tobacco. The rest of the country will eventually follow...just like it has for the past century or so. lol
I wish someone would post all the mens routines from like rock and roll championships and reeses cups - they are awesome. Like chriss waller playing a *special ed* kid with a helmet on - LOL and John rothlesburger doing the mask - HILLARIOUS STUFF! I miss this time!
