Men's Artistic Gymnastics
When my guy was a L5, he would do the back swing in his pbars routine nearly to handstand. The judges loved it, but I thought it was really gross. And you newer people whose kids only do mushroom will never have to endure the horror of the front pendulum swing on pommel horse in L5. Google at your own risk. You've been warned.
I wish my son could do that- he get deductions because he does not swing high on rings....actually most of our boys do not swing high like that- even the big boys. Your gym must be doing something right!
 
Heck, I'll brag. I attribute it all to our head coach. He had two L10 JO regional rings champs last year.
 
(I like those manna to handstand things, it shows such strength and control! But ask me again when DS is older, lol, see if I still feel the same way!)
 
Lol, Rosie, my guy had that in his L8 floor routine. So did one of his teammates -- until the day that he mislanded it and, well, you know. Every male in the area watching cringed. Somehow he continued his floor routine, but after that, his corner move was different.
 
ah. D did a back pike to that at L8/9. He wants to bring it back this season :O
