Click this link to see Andy’s roundoff back tuck! www.youtube.com A year on from our last vid; me (Nathan) and Andy return with our new video! Most of the clips were shot in a really day we spent together at the park and in my garden. I have short black hair, Andy has long blonde hair, thats probably the easiest way to tell us apart. In September 2008, Andy decided to stop coming to gymnastics training as he wanted to focus more on his dancing and his college course in performing arts. However, in spring when his college had started to quieten down a bit Andy rejoined the gymnastics club. Despite having at least 6 months off, he has managed to retain his incredible (and almost un-natural) flexibility and has learned a few new moves and combinations for this video. Well done Andy! Moves list: – Handstand on bar (Image) – Forearm scorpion pose (Image) – Roundoff bhs stepout, cartwheel stepout, handspring stepout X2, cartwheel bhs stepout, bhs – Aerial (Andy) – Aerial (Nathan) – Standing flashkick – Handstand s/t gainer – Free forward walkover – Simultaneous handspring stepout, roundoff bhs – Standing layout – Front tuck full twist – Free roundoff (brandy) – Front tuck – Front pike – Roundoff bhs X10 – Cartwheel, half twist into forward walkover – Handspring stepout, roundoff bhs flashkick – Roundoff backhandspring layout – Front tuck over Andy (sideways) – Front tuck over Andy (lengthways) X2 – Front tuck through straddle headstand – Handspring stepout, cartwheel, flick

    @NabilosB I first thought: if I do the bhs very hard I wil be able to do a double.
    but today I found the key of doing multiples, squad a little after a bhs and go to another one

    @mlbm13 Andy is the person to ask, as I can’t even do them myself :P However, i gather it is mainly shoulder and back flexibility, so work on that. Try handstand to bridge, to stand at first, then try and land on one leg, the motion will become more lfuent when your flexibility improves.

    do you have any tips on the front walkover ?
    b/c when i do a front walkover i slowly come up to land :(
    is there a sort of exercise to help increase back strength?
    or is it the arms to help push off to get up fast?

    ok thx ;)

    You must surely be able to rebound form a roundoff if you can roundoff bhs; therfore you should know how to rebound out of a bhs, its exactly the same. If your bhs is powerful you shouldn’t have a problem

    @natcomber13 Thx but how can i rebound? Shoud I pike at the end of the bhs? Shoud i run a lot before doing the roundoff bhs? I dont know what to do.. I dont land it very weel*

  11. natcomber13

    IF you can rebound out of the first one you should be able to do two; the technique is the same no matter how many you do

    What’s the key for doing many back handsprings in a row? :(

  14. natcomber13

  15. Sickandtwisted1996

    k is andy a dude or a girl ?

  18. DJSpartin121

    13 is definately not to old, i started when i was almost 13 and check out my videos, im working on double backs and double fulls on spring floor.

  19. natcomber13

    Me and Andy both started gymnastics aged 12, but andy is one year older so hes been doin it for longer. If you want to recah a proper elite standard, then yes 13 probably is too old, however with hard work you could easily pass the level; that me and andy have shown in this video

  20. katttttttttttttie

    how long did it take for you to learn all this? coz i want to start gymnastics but im 13 is this too old? :S

  21. joonasluik

    Fix your front flip. Guys with your lever should be doing good standing fronts =P

  22. TmTricking
