What I love about this series is watching these highly trained athletes try similar sports but be absolutely stymied. Because it just goes to show how hard, even for the very talented, these sports are.
As a former rhythmic gymnast and huge fan of ELena Shinohara, IT MADE ME SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS VIDEO FROM IAN!!! Also, yes please to more long form content~ :D
3:48 you can do that with a cartwheel instead of a front walkover 5:58 you can increase difficulty by doing a backward roll immidiately after catching 8:43 the knot actually came from the spirals you were doing when Elena was showing you her spirals earlier this is actually one of the best gymnastics videos i've watched (as a rhythmic gymnast myself)
man this was a great introduction I usually just do calisthenics and shit but I've gotten into rings and gymnastics lately and this is really an art like wow like what she just showed us today was beautiful wish i learned about this stuff earlier haha
2:53 'thats so scary' dude ive gotten 3 concussions from clubs and almost blinded from ribbon (the stick hit my eye after a pullback) you'll be okay, hoop hurts the least
I'm kinda close :p I can do both left and right splits and can do cartwheels! I might try it as I have a hoop :P My favourite apparatus is the ribbon, it's so beautiful
I'm a new subscriber who is really enjoying the wholesomeness of your videos. I appreciate your knowledge and talent, and the peek we gain into your world.🤍💙🧿
