Gervasio Deferr – Tsuk, not Kas
May 14th, 2013 — Gymnastics, twisting, vault
Tassilo points out that the 2000 Olympic Vault Champion did NOT compete Kasamatsu as do 99%+ of male gymnasts.
Instead, he did Tsuk.
Right hand on first, left twist.
Watch Deferr on YouTube. (1min 45sec)
Tsuk is significantly more difficult.
Leave a comment if you know anyone else competing double twist or higher with Tsuk, not Kas.
Jason Burnett Miller++
May 11th, 2013 — Trampoline, twisting
Miller ++ is a double back flip in the straight position with 5 full twists.
… it has never been competed in a FIG (Federation of International Gymnastics) sanctioned event.

Looks like Jason is keen to hold on to his DD record. Still 18.8 in competition, I believe.

Wow.
Three tumbling lines never before competed, so far as I know. Including quad twist as a dismount.

That said. To me this is overuse of one kind of skill.

Tamayo v double layout 1/2
February 21st, 2013 — floor (men), floor (women), Gymnastics, judging, twisting
Tamayo is an F-part (0.6) — double layout Arabian. Named for the great Charlie Tamayo … who did not compete it often. I couldn’t find a routine on YouTube.
Everyone’s raving about Stacey Ervin’s at Winter Cup.

Here’s Kieran Behan training a good one. (VIDEO)
Here’s Kyle Shewfelt training it.

Kyle trained it into punch front 1/1, as well.
… On the other hand, that’s the skill where Kyle broke both legs and did ligament damage. At 2007 World Championships podium training. The landing is blind and dangerous.
As Jessica O’Beirne pointed out in the most recent episode of GymCastic, Winter Cup AA Champ Jake Dalton mounts with double layout half out, not Tamayo.

That’s a great trick too. But it’s only a D-part (0.4) — and it’s in the same box as double layout, so you can’t compete both elements in the same routine.
In these cases, it’s clear. But there are going to be variations where it’s very difficult to tell the difference.
If I was Steve Butcher, I’d propose both be valued as E-parts. Both be considered the same skill.

on twist direction
February 9th, 2013 — Circus, Gymnastics, twisting
Mathew Sparks is Head Coach and Dance Captain for Cirque La Nouba, Florida. He sees more flips and twists in a day than many coaches see in a month.
For an upcoming clinic, Matt’s recycled a video presentation from … that era when Men vaulted over a long skinny horse. (Kids today can get freaked out first time they see a vaulting horse so inferior to the Table.)
It’s a brief introduction to dominant twist, identifying twist direction and relation to skills like Kasamatsu, Tsuk 1/1, round-offs and pirouettes.

Denis Vachon – twisting sequence
January 19th, 2013 — twisting
Can all of your gymnasts do half twists in sequence up to their maximum number of twists?
Or have any “lost” some of those twists over time due to lack of training?
