GYMNASTICS but 'THE OPPOSITE WAY' Challenge! ft Olympians

[@itsmekatie.g3184]

We finally found something that Nile is better than ash at…..doing gymnastics wrong😂😂

[@tinevermeulen1812]

i’m a trampolinist and i can say, the things you guys were doing into that foam pit is insane. it’s so hard to just think about twisting the wrong way, nevermind actually doing it and mretty CLEAN as well!!

[@wolololer]

i always thohugt everyone twist any direction same way, turns out ppl alwasy twist to the same side

I love the fact that for a split second Nile considered he may have been twisting on his bad side all these years 😂

[@mariemuller3239]

Time stamp?

[@hannahxx17]

@@mariemuller3239 8:48 when he questions if hes twisting the wrong way. It's like he realised that the 'wrong way' might in fact have been his right way all these years

[@mariemuller3239]

Thank you! I thought he just questioned if he is twisting the wrong way right now because it works so well. But I guess that could mean the same thing

[@GamingBGM]

interesting

[@honours-p1651]

Tried doing a cartwheel the other day on my bad side and my legs went about 2cm in the air. It's so difficult to mental comprehend that I can't imagine doing what you guys just did. 👏

[@carlpickup6228]

It’s easy 😂 I do it all the time

[@thedoctor4637]

I just takes practice. If you try them a good number of times, it will come to you. My bad side cartwheel is not as good as my good side (duh) but it is close. But it used to be terrible.

[@kurre_kallkvist]

I struggle with full twists the right way, can't even imagine trying a triple twist the wrong way! Awesome! Great to have Sammie back as well!

[@nicolakibble]

❤ I think George has made you feel old, so you are checking you’ve still got ‘it’ 😂 great content as always ❤

[@timsullivan4687]

I absolutely LOVE Nile's accent...could listen to him speak for hours

[@eddiebear420]

how are you guys so good at ignoring the pain? like rips or something like that, it’s really inspiring!

[@nicholasjohnson1721]

I just want to say, I’ve been watching you guys for years and I love the sport, so much!! I feel like men’s gymnastics is dying out and it’s so great to see y’all in here making it look as fun as I’ve always felt it is. I hope kids see this and it gets them pumped for the sport!!

[@liquidgoldpictures]

will you be vlogging behind the scenes on your training for Dancing on Ice? That would be so so fun to watch too :) Anyways, awesome content as always :)

[@carolinehaf21]

Love seeing this as a physio - training your non dominant side even briefly is great for your brain :)

[@katekramer7679]

That's super interesting! What's a good way to read about this more?

[@carolinehaf21]

@@katekramer7679 neuroplasticity in stroke patients is where I mostly learned it... stroke patients often have to relearn tasks with a non dominant side and scientists started realising the results of neuroplasticity (brain remapping/rewiring after damage with intensive rehab/focused and specific training) was useful for non stroke people ans also research has now been applied to dementia - hence the focus on "brain training" games and specifically focusing on problem solving, puzzles, memory recall tasks to help stave off dementia. The brain is like any muscle, you can train it to be stronger - just looks up the principles of neuroplasticity and as long as the training you're doing follows those rules (specific, increases in difficulty, doing a certain amount of repetitions etc) it will grow new neural connections and strengthen weak ones. We see many people with stroke who are VERY dominant handed which makes it more difficult and takes longer to recruit the opposite side under control... other people who have played sport thst required them to be more ambidextrous for example (like dribbling basketball with both hands equally) will do better learning to use their non-dominant hand for tasks because thr pathways has already been created and prioer muscle memory the brain can try to revert to. In regular people, it's always good to do something once a day with your non dominant hand/side - even just for 5-10 mins to make your brain engage in the activity and create pathways instead of using automatic programmed sequences you dominant hand already knows... also it's just fun :)

It's so humbling when you try going back to what you used to do on a daily basis and struggle to reach a fraction of that. Like thinking HOW THE HELL WAS I ABLE TO DO SUCH THINGS!?

[@mitchellfurlong2510]

Brilliant video wished it was longer I really enjoyed this video. Well done nile

[@pamelagordon869]

Can't wait to see you on dancing on ice you will be fantastic

[@Simon-oy7kf]

1:27 I wanted to start training the double to upper arm a while back, thought I could do a single flip between the bars with no padding. I landed with the bar between my toes and then straight on my crotch, haven't tried it since but I want to one day

[@EmmaJaworski]

4:27 I want to see that be a vlog!!

[@wouzou01]

Good to have you back. Nile. ❤

[@angelinaliu1816]

As a former diver, I was mentally freaking out imagining doing twists the wrong way. Kudos to you guys cause I don’t think I could commit enough to actually take off

[@brianlau7827]

I am a diehard leftie through and through. I twisted left, pirouetted to the left, circled counter clockwise on PH and dismounted to the left. The only skills I turned right on was doing half turns and blind changes on high bar. I was learning how to do half turns on my left arm for a while, but my coach thought it was better to do it on the right arm as it would feel more intuitive when it came to learning pirouette 1/1 and Rybalko later on. For a while I was proficient at doing half turns on both arms, but I eventually started favouring turning on my right arm.

[@aidanmaccuish2266]

Opposite way circles are always fun

[@SuperhumanUnchained]

Great video on the gymnastics you are a True sportsman

[@EmmaJaworski]

Literally the only skills i can do on my bad side are a cartwheel, handstand, roundoff, and a few jumps and leaps hahaha. I wouldnt dare try twisting skills or an aerial on beam or something on my bad side hahaha. You guys are nuts 😳 (in a good way)

[@JairoABennu]

Gymnast exercises/practices that may help in dancing on ice? Maybe leg stuff?

[@hilareeek]

Proof that you just have great technique. You know what you need to do, no matter the direction.

[@donna.l.s]

Great content as always

[@juliegammeltoftpreuthun]

daaamn, ash is smooth in the left turn, right turn

[@desertrose3511]

Nile to Ash “use those big frickin shoulders” LOL 😂

[@mxre1151]

Literately thought of this idea in my head before this video was uploaded, was surprised to see this video

[@BlueLightDragon-k2u]

I'm right hand (almost) dominant but my cartwheel is left leg left hand first, I twist right as in I twist towards my right side as if its leading. It would be interesting to do a poll

[@inaf1079]

Question, would learning both ways, make you a better gymnast? Or is it always best to stick to your dominant side?

[@amiaray606]

Stick to your dominant. It will mess you up when you get to twisting otherwise.

[@mena94x3]

I can cartwheel equally well on both sides. Right-hand-first is natural & most comfortable, but I can go left-hand-first just as technically well.

[@cooperpabis4642]

Enjoyed this👍

[@Kateblack62946]

Finally someone I actually know is going on dancing on ice

[@johnvelas70]

Kind of an odd question, but I'm normally left handed/armed. But doing inversions or hand walking my right arm seems dominant. Any ideas?

[@EsmeTube]

Which is your dominat foot? I'm right handed, but left footed and it causes me to do things that seem "backwards " from others like cartwheels

[@johnvelas70]

@@EsmeTube I can't do a cartwheel (yep). But to give an idea, I can hold a strict 1 arm handstand lefty 1:13, righty 4:28 , but a 1 arm pullup, lefty 23, righty 17

[@chadshire6781]

that one arm twisting giant (zou li min) looks TERRIFYING for the shoulders though. I know Nile has exceptionally flexible shoulders, but damn. I personally prefer hop full twist (quast) aesthetically, but both are very popular.

[@JairoABennu]

Deep Heat! that's the one. In rugby we used that, do gymnasts use it too?

[@heidibaltom8138]

This is so funny because i used to do gymnastics and omg this must be so scary. the only thing i tried was cartwheels on the beam the wrong way and that was scary enough.

Love it

[@jasmineelliott9525]

Niles first attempt lol 😆 still better than I could do

[@pixxel17]

I had to relearn my twisting for vault so I could get a double full, I can’t even imagine tripling the wrong way I’d be on my head lol

[@angelicajacobs584]

I remember my Acro teacher always making us do both sides and it's so hard to wire your brain to do it 🤣🤣

[@TheTessa1617]

Does it matter if your left handed or right handed? Like do you rotate toward the left if your left handed and rotate right if your right handed or does everyone rotate the same way?

[@emiliesmith9917]

Rotation direction is totally random and unrelated to handedness! I am right handed and turn clockwise (figure skater.) Most people go counterclockwise, but not by much- about 60-40.

[@SkinarfDragon]

if i tried twists on my bad side i would be dead on a simple full xD

[@BMass83]

[@karlomorosin7880]

What do you think, should men have to do "woman's" apparatus: balance beam and uneven bars?

[@hawibalcha142]

love the accent

[@MattMcConaha]

As a non-gymnast it never really occurred to me that a gymnast would bias toward doing a skill in one direction and it's mostly fine because they just won't do it in a competition the other way. It makes sense, because analogously in something thag I do know about, skateboarding, people have the same issue where it is easier to do a trick one way than the other. But in skateboarding, doing tricks the wrong way (aka switch) is actually something that people do consider when deciding how much they respect another skater's abilities, and is also used in competition scoring. I wonder how much of that switch culture exists in gymnastics.

[@Henna-321]

[@pandoraaaraseth1040]

Dunno who the female is (I don't mean that in a petty way whatsoever as I don't follow gymnastics, I just love what y'all do on this channel), but since she has worked for it and it's exactly the type of apparatus I always wanted; I have to give her the compliment and say "She has a beautiful booty!" I don't mean that in a creepy way and though I can't control how she interpretation or takes the comment, I felt it was important to give props for something that all woman want to perfect, have an issue with and are so greatly varying in opinion about, these days. Some people feel the bigger the better, even in profane proportions like Nicki Minaj, while others like tiny little things. I am of the opinion that a bootiful female derriere is a thing one must work extremely hard to obtain in balance with their bodies femininity and muscle, and her's is damn near perfect (only bc nothing is perfect), so... Well done! 👍🏽
