UPDATE: I changed the name of this post from “impossible skills” to “possible skills”.
A video clip from perhaps 1991 — Monica Shaw from Rocky Mountain Gymnastics — doing Pak to Endo on low bar.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
WOW.
Pak Gyong Sil did the skill at the 1989 World Championships. (Video.)
This clip was linked by mandusky on the International Gymnast forum.

Love it.
That’s cool, though Rick you might want to change your title because obviously the skill is possible.
God.. training that must have been a headache… (pun).
How long until that gets added to the book of banned skills, ya think?
Impressive! Thanks Rick!
Isn’t it already banned? I mean, it’s included in the banned skills montage on youtube.
It’s already banned last I checked.
I loved this gymnast! I could never understand why she was losing to Kayroli’s girl during this time period!
Well there ya go.. banned already before it got its feet off the ground. Oh well..
Legendre’s 2.5 double should be on the list. As well as the “Taucer”.
Here’s a wacky one…how about a 360 L-seat? Take a Manna all the way round to another L seat (held)?
Although breathtaking to see, I’m glad that it is banned. If the pak is missed it would put the gymnast at the perfect angle for a broken neck.
I agree with xmaestro. very dangerous skill. glad its banned but very impressive that she was able to execute it so well
[...] posted this awesome sequence before. But it’s worth watching [...]
