connecting kip to cast handstand
JAO is back with another excellent tutorial.

I’m teaching this series all week at Camp so the timing of this release was perfect for me.
Love targeting the straddle cast handstand right from the start. Most girls over age-12 will be competing straddle cast. 🙂 Don’t waste too much time on straight body cast.
Love the “dump” drills. Kids need to know what to do when they lean too far over, otherwise they won’t be confident in leaning over far enough.
At Camp we’ve been doing similar drills from long kip rather than glide kip. I find the “late” kip action is easier if the girls do not need to worry about the glide.

Coaches in France have done an excellent job editing drills for certain skills.
For example, forward handspring on Floor.

I don’t agree with every drill shown. But there are some good ideas there for every coach.

55m (180ft) Bag Jump
Greg Roe.
… Jumping into a BAGJUMP Freestyle airbag is the latest trend …
Greg Roe and Daniel Moesl are amongst few people who can actually perform these kind of freestyle tricks from heights up to 55m or 180ft into a freestyle airbag that works a bit like a foam pit but absorbs a lot more force.
… landing at an incredible speed of almost 150km/h (93mph), that’s just nuts!
… This shoot took place in Innsbruck/Austria at the Prangl crane company’s backyard …
See Greg Roe performing his jumps from various terrifying heights like a double full double / quadruple flip with spin (double front flip full twist double front flip) …

Perhaps my favourite skill of recent years.

Navieva is back training. Seriously, it would appear.
UPDATE: Emma Bailey @MoominWhisky thinks this video is from 2013. That may be.
Rewriting Russian Gymnastics recently reported that Nabs is back training seriously, however.
We have to hope she’s still working her skill. 🙂

Isabela Onyshko – Commonwealths
Isabela Onyshko has made it through the Canadian gymnastics team’s training camp to prepare for the Commonwealth Games, and now she’s doing her final preparation back home before heading to Glasgow, Scotland, next week. …
The Canadian team is heading overseas a week before the Commonwealth Games opening ceremonies on July 23, and they have a few training days in Glasgow before the artistic gymnastics part of the competition begins on July 28.?It runs through Aug. 1, with the Games’ closing ceremony set for two days later.
The Commonwealth Games will be a very different experience for Onyshko. She has never been on a team like this before nor part of a contingent of athletes participating in various sports in one major competition. …
To help Onyshko, the youngest member of the Canadian team, cope with a different atmosphere, she admits she may be leaning on a pair of Olympic gymnasts on the team, Ellie Black and Victoria Moors. …

So far, so good for Team Canada. Either Canada or England will win this one. I predict the more consistent team will get to the top of the podium. Fewest falls will win.
