1st Chalk Bucket's "Unique" Contest

[henrik541]

Do you think we should have the end of the contest by, maybe, 5th November, just so more people could enter it.
Btw, yes you may create strength/conditioning skills.

If you agree with extending the final date, this is my skill:

No, I'm sorta thinking "hey, there's a deadline! Stick to it!" It's not exactly fair to extend it. (Especially for, what seems like yourself...)

 

[henrik541]

You're right! Okay, end of contest! Guess I'll have to enter my skill next year
Does anyone wants to create the voting thread?

 

[gymnastbeth]

Sure! I'll do it right now!

gym4life123 i dont get it doesnt an arabian flyaway already egsist i have seen olympians do arabian double flyaways!! can you explain it better or something cause you say you do a FRONT flip but go towards the bar but if you go towards the bar you are going backwards i just dont get it lol

 

[gymgurl]

so you are doing a normal giant, No reverse grip and like you are going into a backwards/normal flyaway, you are at some point to let go of the bar and you twist so that your stomach is facing the ground and go to a front sault from there and land.

The dismount you are thinking of is the one where you are doing a reverse grip giant let go, there is no twist at the start you you proceed to front sault

see dismount on this routine:

Jamie Dantzscher competed a double arabian in flyaway in 2000:

I know the contest is closed, but I 'invented' a dive cartwheel at home before I knew they existed, and then when I found out that that was a 'real' skill it really burst my bubble.

So you swing like in a giant, or a normal fly away. Then you let go, when you let go your back is to the ground, like in a normal flyaway. Then you twist (roll over) so that your stomach is to the ground. Then you initiate your rotation and preform the salto part. I hope you understand this better. Gymgurl explained it right.

YouTube - Kamryn Bayer Double Arabian Bar Dismount isnt this it but this is a double?

 

[gym4life123]

Kind of only she starts fliping before rolling over. My version the positions are a lot more defined, you don't tuck until you stomach is faceing the ground, she is tucked before she lets go of the bar. Here you would almost pause between your "log roll" and your flipping.

 

[henrik541]

Do you want to make a new one, people?

 

[GetaGrip]

Yes! Please!

 

[gymnastbeth]

I had started this one in November Link Removed, but nobody entered! If there's enough interest I could make another thread, but the 2012 version. Otherwise I guess not enough people want to enter!

 

[gymnastgets10]

I want to participate but I think it's really hard to come up with a totally new skill! Maybe if we changed the contest to something else, but since we're all at different levels and have different skills I don't know what we could do...
