coach Rick — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:20:00 +0000

Kirill Prokopiev is a young Russian gymnast. Not a strong tumbler (2009), but you can watch his air flare on YouTube. (embedding disabled)

Kirill is only the second Artistic gymnast to compete the air flare, after Morgan Hamm.

Watch the masters on an air flare compilation video.

Thanks bboysistou (YouTube) for the tip that another gymnast finally figured it out.

SportMUSIC.com Floor music

Founder and Creative Director of SportMusic.com, Alex Goldstein from Russia, created music for Yelena Davydova, Masha Filatova, Natalya Shaposhnikova and Nellie Kim, amongst others.

They have READY-TO-USE music for Floor routines. ($75) … But it’s free to listen to the full version.

Even better, I think, is their CUSTOM MUSIC service, starting at $95.

COST gymnastics Floor routine?

coach Rick — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:01:29 +0000

The Chalk Bucket forum has a thread on this topic.

Cost in the USA runs $100 → $350 for Floor.
Free → $150 for Beam.

If you want professional choreography, check out Precision in Los Angeles.

At my gym kids have paid as much as $450 for a Floor routine. Buying a “used” routine is normally 50% of the original cost.

Leave a comment if you can add to the discussion. Price for quality varies wildly, it seems to me.

I dig this. In an age where music videos continue to devolve into nonsense and porn-inspired gimmicks, it’s nice to see people with talent are still able to shine.

Love the “moon walking” dance steps.
