Coaches curious is this an element?

[Galadriel]

front handspring from elbows? (rather than hands)
seems to be part of choreography.
anyone familiar with it?

yes. it's been done a handful of times. do you want me to find it? it's out there.

 

[Galadriel]

no - its fine
i just saw 2 of the girls doing it and hadn't heard of it so thought it must be part of the choreography!

I kinda want you to find it...

Sounds painful... but sounds like something I would attempt. Can you post a video? Sounds pretty cool.

I have a friend who can head spring with only his head.

can you believe i'm still looking? i can't find it at the moment...geesh


hey Bog, why is it that i keep seeing a Canadian in my head doing this in the side/angle pass of her floor routine? who am i thinking of?? then maybe i can find it instantly.

i typed in "elbow handspring" into youtube. this was one of the first results: Superstar Elbow (Handspring Backflip Elbow Drop) - YouTube

it has nothing to do with our skill but i was still impressed.

i'm frustrated that i can't find it. i recall 2 different gymnasts doing this in their floor routines. i'm thinking 1 was Canadian. i'll keep looking.

I am with you Dunno. I saw that skill within the last two weeks on YouTube, but I cannot remember who it was.

oh man, i won't sleep tonight! 1 did this element in the upper left hand corner of the floor and the other the lower right hand corner of the floor. i'm seeing both of them. 1 a college meet and the other a competition on a gymnova floor in a meet in Canada. woe is me...

Maybe Gymnix, we are all about Gymnova.
