The Liukin’s an awesome move, and it’s great to see someone doing it again. I have a feeling that things could be great for the American men leading up to 2012.
Idle speculation: i wonder if it would be possible to do a Liukin on uneven bars — maybe from a toe-on to get the required height.
As usual, the real show is Yin…..
Is it just me or does a 27-skill routine seem a bit long?
I’m almost positive I’ve seen a liukin on unevens, but I can’t remember who did it or where.
The horizontal bar rules right now could not be more idiotic. There’s only cheap value parts out of stoop shoot, or into Rybalko.
Wasef Burbar (16-18) also has a Liukin which he caught at the Windy City Invite, he goes to Buffalo Grove Gymnastics. The video is only on his facebook though so I’m not sure how to send it to you

I agree that the routine seems a bit long, but I love these skills — especially the Liukin. My biggest deductions for him would be on toe point. The Japanese, Chinese and Russians separate themselves with attention to those details.
You’re not thinking of the Shushanova thing? … Blind to immediate side vault straddled ugly catch?
Bloody Facebook videos. What a lousy sharing platform.
Best would be if he uploaded to YouTube himself.
Maybe he only wants to share it with friends? It’s not a right for gymnastics fans to share videos other people only intended for friends to see.
If you watch a video on facebook, often you can copy it out of your temp files to your computer and re upload. Hopefully someone with more technical knowlegde can explain in detail.
I mean I could just download and post it to youtube but I really don’t want to step over any boundaries if he doesnt want it posted or make him think i’m being creepy haha
Actually I forgot there’s a video of his new skills on youtube. Here it is, the whole video is actually really great but the Liukin is at 1:10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_6tXgbEIfI
Alex Buscaglia of Stanford has a Liukin as well
[...] Danell Leyva, the young American World Championships Horizontal Bar finalist, recently added Liukin (Layout Tkachev 1/1 twist) into his long, difficult routine. [...]
