We saw a glimpse of this excellent series of drills in the Aerial Athletics training video.
Coach Ryan Snider of Aerial Athletics shows off the gienger progression he uses on uneven bars. He breaks down the skill into 2 quarter turns. This produces beautiful, high giengers with potential to even upgrade into a def later on …
Click PLAY or watch it on Gymnastike.
I’ve never thought of it as 1/4, 1/4 … but there might be some advantage in adding those steps.
We could also have the gymnast do flyaway to stand on the bar, immediately jump forward with half turn … and regrasp on their own, without spot.
Leave a comment if you have additional drills for Geinger. There are some good orientation drills on tramp.

This is excellent. I’ll definitely be using this with my boys.
it works awesome .. spotted seven kids for huge geinger’s today!! thanks for the lesson! find more video’s like this one!
This is a great technique, I have been doing this for years. Only possible with a channel pit. Also good for teaching kovaks, we will have a level 10 girl competing a kovak this year for Oregon Gymnastics Academy.
Wow. I have been waiting for Kovacs from a female for years.
I’ve seen a similar progression for Kovacs in swinging up to a stand on bar before.
I liked the progression but I’m a handful of years off from needing it right now (heck, we need our own HB first!)
Chelsea Otto did a Kovacs in 1998/1999 …
Why is this only possible on a channel bar? Seems like I could do it in the pit with the spotting block. Does anyone see that first drill as an advantage for flyaways, too?

video??
She did Gaylord 2, Jim, not Kovacs, so far as I’ve ever heard. Some on the internet mixed up the two MAG skill names, I believe.
