CSEMARTIN Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'd like to comment on what my filthy mind is thinking, but I probably shouldn't. She's probably not 18 and that's not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The dedication to do that makes most, if not all, of us look like lazy wimps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even conceive of the time and effort it must take to perform at that level. Of course, her spine and hips are composed entirely of rubber, and her father was Gumby.

AlamoShooter Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I don't think you search parameters had any thing to do with "Practice"when you found that video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 What I love about that video is much more about the approach than the performance. Yes, I'll admit, what she did was incredible. Beyond words. What I appreciate more is the imagination though. It's never been done before, so how does one think about all that she did? Build it into a routine that gets people shouting at a gymnastics tournament. Life is full of proof, the winners out there don't just do it better. They do better things better. Amazing!

Aristotle Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 What I appreciate more is the imagination though. It's never been done before, so how does one think about all that she did? That's exactly what has me so amazed. Not only is it amazing, but how does one learn/practice all of that? Shooting, I have a ton of resources. She made everything look easy and everything was not only perfect, BUT INNOVATIVE. If I could accomplish just 2-3 of those tricks flawlessly, in front of my peers/world it would have been an accomplishment many years in the making. We practice a relatively shorter range of body movement, yet it's hard to get perfect. THAT is a WHOLE different level of perfection. It Really puts things in perspective in terms of ones true limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It Really puts things in perspective in terms of ones true limitations. I know you're alluding to this But the perspective it puts to me is the lack of limitations. In fact, I am the limitation. That is such a degrading, challenging, humbling thing to think. The only thing that limits me . . . is me. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Boit Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 A friend of mine has been involved in gym at very high level (she did several olympics) and I can tell you it takes years of hard work and dedication to achieve this ! It's truly amazing, this performance is simply incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 For a huge percentage of the people on this earth ...... It is and always would be a physical impossibility to achieve what she does. Period. I now wait for the same tired argument that "If you really want it anyone could do it.." "If you worked as hard as I have worked you would be there too...." Etc etc....
