Thanks for posting links to some of the BIG releases.
Good work.
I'd love to get video sources for the same clips that are easier to watch. The YouTube flash format is just too mucky.
Any suggestions?

I was coach of the University of Saskatchewan Gymnastics "Club" (not team) in the late 1990s.
That's in Canada where College Team gymnastics had been cancelled.
We made up our own rules whenever we had dual meets with other clubs.
Bike shorts were allowed back then.

With any luck, in a year or two, all gymnasts will have the option to wear tights or even tight shorts.
FIG did something right for a change. (I should write the date down on my calendar.)
Seems the most often spotted skill in 2008 is this — sometmes called "shoot half". Safety is something of a factor. More often, I think, the gymnast is more confident IF the coach stands in.
(I did not get the name of this coach at the Chicago Style competition 2008.)
Coach John Carney's "Wall of Death" is a ton of fun and a terrific drill for teaching gymnasts to "pitch out" (displace their centre of gravity) away from the bar.
Coach Suzi Goodmanson has dozens of great drills for improving leg power. This one she used with girls at summer camp at Funtastics in Idaho. HPTCamp.com
Coach John Carney set up his "Tower of Power" at summer camp in Idaho. Gymnasts could practice "free hip circle" and "Stalder" without needing a spotter. Brilliant. HPTCamp.com
Funtastics Gymnastics Men's Head Coach Donny Gardiner stands up a ring tower with only 5 adults and 2 gymnasts lifting. (Is this a YouTube record for fewest number of lifters?)

"Marinich" is the name of a difficult and somewhat dangerous dive roll from a forward handspring. Coaches from Woodward West Gymnastics Camp show the skill.
One of the best gymnasts in the World, Charlie is also a great coach. Here he spots STALDER (and wears "old man" make-up). Woodward West Gymnastics Camp.
Key Skills in Advanced Gymnastics for Girls and Boys with Paul Hall is the title of a 2-disc DVD instructional video set available from expert videographer coachCharles Minster from Australia. This is a sample.

Coach Peter Soul from Integrity Gymnastics in Ohio builds training devices. This one he uses to remind gymnasts to stay stretched. It is particularly useful for handstand pirouettes.
A compilation of drills for beginners learning to climb ropes. No need to climb high, there are plenty of challenging drills to do low.
