Olympians try Modern day Gymnastics on 1900's Apparatus!

[@ktwashere5637]

this is an imporant point. Current gymnasts talk about how they are doing skills that are so much harder BUT the equipment they use is way better.

[@SilverionX]

How did I end up here? I don't think I've ever watched a gymnastics video before, yet here I am. This is why I love KZbin sometimes, it can show you things you didn't know you wanted to watch. Great job, so much respect for your skills and the dedication.

[@AJJesko]

The algorithm knows you better than you know yourself

[@anniesotropic1844]

Same here. Last night I watched someone breaking the world record for running a marathon... In crocs! 🤯. (and it was brilliant!)

[@Branwhin]

:D Make sure you have a peek around his channel, these lads are hilarious, in addition to amazing athletes.

[@RoryPattonDreamerOfDunsidhe]

I did gymnastics at school in the 60s. No bouncy mats every mistake hurt. Even if you got it right it hurt. However for all the bruises, spraiins, and breakages it was the most enjoyable sport of all we had to do. I think the disadvantage you guys had was that you knew that there was a better and safer way to things, we didn't. Great video.

[@hannahxx17]

"Come here. Not competitive, let's support each other'. That right there ladies and gentlemen is why these guys are top tier. Get you some friends that can support you over absolutely everything else and do so whole heartedly and genuinely. The ability to put aside your own desires or pride to support a mate is the greatest strength anyone can have.

[@vp-oe1em]

I love how ultra competitive they are w each other but, above all, how loving and supportive they are of each other.

[@stephiebiv519]

Agreed! This might be my favorite Luke appearance of all time.

[@paulinfrancis]

This is what I love about track cycling. On the boards we’re competitors, but as soon as we cross the line we’re mates and help each other 😊

[@lipglossfairy76]

I’m only 46 and we had this kit in school! I remember doing a forward roll on the vault, forgot to let go and took it with me 😂

[@n.running6536]

Im 20 and we had this at school haha

[@jaythecraftymaniac6056]

We had this in my school too!😅

[@hilareeek]

That was great! Really amazing getting to see Luke's pommel work! Loved how all it took was Nile deciding that he wanted it and he got it.

[@Jollyjilly58]

I am a 66 year old nan. Never done gymnastics but I totally soak up all your videos. I love the whole crew and can’t wait till the next one. Brightens my day 🎉🎉

[@glitterpuss1]

Always love seeing how you support each other to push past those worries and trust your skill and technique. You should definitely try vaulting on horseback though!

[@dorothyb.]

Yes. They should try vaulting using one of those 1960s spring boards with no spring in them at all!

[@ethrim]

I HATED vaulting over the horse.

[@theparavaulter1612]

I agree with the vaulting bit! :D :D :D

[@artchic528]

It’s interesting how gymnastics equipment evolves and changes so much over time. It’s also interesting that no matter the sport a group of guys coming together to see what they can do becomes a bit competitive, even if it’s just friendly.

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

Would LOVE to see you guys try break dancing! and playing polo!! I think those would be sooo fun to do, and to watch you try out!!!

[@emmaslow]

🤣 this comment is elevated following Ray Gun's breaking performance in Paris 2024 🤣

[@katiedunk463]

This might be an old school gymnastics video but it feels like an old school Nile Wilson video. Absolutely love the banter and competitiveness. Thanks for making us laugh 😃

[@mena94x3]

Speaking of old-school Nile videos, I need a video of him pranking his dad and scaring his mom. I need it bad.

[@millacabral9475]

Yaaay a pommel video! Luke is actually not bad at all for someone who hasn't done pommels in that long. But he also has quite long arms compared to his body or at least his torso, which helps clear the legs from the horse.

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

I wish you'd started with a clear explanation of how the equipment changed and what challenge the older equipment might pose.

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

Seeing Nile's emotion when he stuck the landing at the Commonwealth Games still gets me teary.

[@jennfeeley1410]

It's so great to see you enjoying gymnastics again.

[@richardlaundon]

Takes me back to my schooldays in the 80s and the cold gym building with those strange wooden frames that folded away in to the wall :D

[@a_921]

Dear god I had forgotten about such horrors

[@iseetheWAYVision]

love seeing the difference in gymnastics over the years.

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

My old Grandad was a gymnast. He would have loved this stuff. Unfortunately he died well before KZbin and the Web were even thought of. We had a pommel horse at school but nobody qualified to teach it. I was champing at the bit to give it ago but was never allowed. 50+ years later, it's a little late for me to start.

[@BeardedDad72]

Love the video. As an American I had no clue what was said but I know it was English! They all have amazing skills I'll never be able to do!

[@Flix-f6q]

T'is because they are not speaking simplified english.

[@2005Colly]

@@Flix-f6q you mean with marbles in their mouth?

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

@@Flix-f6q I think you mean they are speaking like they have been drinking for 3 hours

[@matthewhood7844]

They're not Americans?😮

[@jenniferpearce1052]

😆😆😆Keep listening. Eventually it will become clear and you won't know if they're American or Brit because it sounds so familiar.

[@antheapotter8406]

Having tried to vault with a leather horse we covered the holes for the pomels on and a wooden srung spring board it was interesting to see some of this.

[@kikibirdball]

That's what we practised on like 15 years ago

[@YayWei320]

We’re really proud of you, Luke!! You gave him a good fight!

[@karynefagg209]

That was so good, congratulations. I think that Luke has been holding back, I'm no gymnast, but Luke looked professional, pointing his toes, legs together, if Ashley keeps having to have time out, I think Luke might just take the crown. Great video again, thanks to all.

[@oh_emm278]

Luke got all the basics in gymnastics its just he’s stop a long time ago ,the longest or earliest to retire from the three ..

[@sarastone8235]

I love your videos! You all have showed me that it is ok to fail many times before you get it, even top athletes have to practice, the important thing is to keep trying! That's an important lesson nowadays,in this world of instant gratification

[@dorisweingartner5990]

All 3 are very impressive. The tall one is soooo elegant, like a dancer. Loved it.

[@cassandrahyde5359]

This really set my memory cells off.I remember Craig and kanukai Jackson from my school days. Walking in the gym just as the British men had been train. Both Craig's and Chris Still's voice bring back so many memories

[@wolololer]

This are the videos i like, straight gymnastics and you guys vibing, not big amounts of edits and all tons of jokes hapening all the time

[@mena94x3]

Old school handstand vote: 1: Luke (by just a bit) 2: Ash 3: Nile (feet straight up)

[@luattack123]

I am addicted, when I wake up, boom gymnastics from your gang videos, you need to know it, I am without going to gym for 7 years, and you are a inspiration for me, I am determined to go back, you are so right, and I stay at gym more than home, then my depression got me 2015 and I stay in the dark. Thank you Nile and I love you all 😘🙏🏻❤️

[@sophiaschier-hanson4163]

Best of luck in depression recovery and hope you’ve found an adult gymnastics class near you! 🤗💕

[@BethSc_VV]

We're proud of you Luke, you have a major height disadvantage. That old equipment was designed for short arses like Nile and Ash 😉

[@chrisparti]

Our gym teacher in school was Leigh Jones (ex British gymnastics champion). Shortly after I'd left school, he appeared in the Sure deodorant TV advert as the gymnast on the rings... I heard after that, whenever he told the kids to do something in the gym, they always asked if he was 'sure' 😁 Andrew Morris was in our class in school, he went on to become British gymnastics champion himself.... I was shit at it though 😅

[@danime4288]

Have you seen Joanna in the Background at 03:47? So hilarious, love it! 😆

[@ceebeecee56]

Love how determined you were to meet the challenge. Well done.

[@itsmrlowe]

Absolutely loved this video mate… you lot are fkn amazing people and full of charisma 🎉

[@tacocat2919]

Long live the queen♥ May she rest in peace. Hope you guys are doing well take care of yourself!

[@michellevv46]

this was amazing! to see you all encouraging each other, and cheering each other on is incredible!

[@joymalyabasu6317]

Thanks

[@mikaylajayney]

This was my favourite so far! The switch into sheer determination was fantastic to watch!

[@mena94x3]

Great Magyar Nile!!! So proud of you!!

[@peaj7458]

I love Craig. Makes a good brew too. ..... so happy to see you both in a vlog!

[@janetsharp122]

Just have to say , loved seeing you recently on tv ( commonwealth games ) you came across so naturally enthusiastic.I’m sure you will be back with Gabby and the team , take care x

[@murphylhunn]

Came for stunts, subbed for the banter

[@cublau]

Great guys, astounding body control, wonderful ideas and so much fun! 🤩🤩🤩

[@victorwilliams1304]

To be that Big and still have the Flexibility is Amazing!!!!!

[@Ah_Lee_Sun]

I love watching your videos. True support with friendly competition between you all.

[@KaylaRoseliej78wjdh]

I have such respect for commitment and watching an athlete persevere and not give up- but I have to say, there's an equal respect and admiration for these guys who know how to assess risk vs reward, when to step back and not just "give it another go," because they know the chances of them getting hurt is increasing, *and also* not beat themselves up about any of it. I think we could all take a lesson away here about how choosing to *not complete something* doesn't mean you *failed*

[@janemiettinen5176]

Thank you, dudes and YT recommendations! I didnt know I needed to see this, but I did. You know youre doing something right, when it looks as effortless as this. Poetry in motion!

[@mena94x3]

Luke _KILLING_ the pommel today!! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@zjuazyz6240]

You guys are insane. That was CLEAN at the end.

[@DSmith-ss8jo]

Nile, love the haircut! Your challenges are always fun to watch.

[@newtonianromance]

You guys are so great together, really nice to see.

[@Jamestele1]

All of these studs are impressive. That is so difficult.

[@lilyh4563]

So glad you uploaded again I was missing your videos alot

[@zoew_]

i did gymnastics for 10 years and ive always thought that the pommel horse was the most impressive event. you look at it and youll be like oh theyre just swingingtheir bodies around, that doesnt look hard. but it really is a tough event.

[@glenchapman3899]

Yeah that and the rings. Absolute strength with incredible grace.

[@madreep]

I got a ridiculous amount of joy watching this!

[@Kbarz97]

The tension is palpable at 2:20😂

[@panaberaa]

I love how you were searching for those, I know for a fact these are the exact same my school has been using when I went to school, and the kids still use them today. 😂

[@polarbear9848]

just like we had a school, not watched for a while - thank god Nile has had a haircut! Well done lads - well Ash you didn't win that one lol Keep them coming I have missed the banter. Never had a reply to comments yet, come on boys and girls lol xx

[@floodrod]

Made me remember my College Pommel routine in the 90's. buckey shuffle, buckeye shuffle, magyar, to sivado.

[@rbriseno8756]

Fantastic video-- thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@alextuck5613]

Very cool, and the fact you kept at it and kept trying even with fear. Awesome job. Also, the tall dude, could make a really cool Dhalsism Charecter from Street Fighter. I am happy no one got seriously hurt.

[@lottiew777]

Love it Nile, any vids with all of u in is bound to be hilarious let’s be honest. I just know it’s going to make me smile after the sad news of this evening RIP Queen Elizabeth❤️❤️👑🕊 love you guys ❤️

[@aquawoelfly]

As a non gymnist..... it's hard to wrap my head around how the 2nd one (alternating swinging legs) would be significantly different aside from the handles/grip.

[@rach_laze]

distance betwen the handles and the overall shape of the pommel has changed

[@mariemorgan5465]

Finallyyy u post something after like two weeks. Thank u ☺️

[@Aelvice]

I'm not even into gymnastics but the banter is top knock, keep it up boys.

[@evelynrose9886]

Yo this was hilarious and fucking impressive as always :) I'm always motivated to commit more to scary moves (in climbing lol) cuz of yous

[@somogyiimi]

When you pronunce "magyar", you are saying it like "madyar". In hungarian "gy" is actually only one sound. English almost has this sound when you say DUE. First sound of due (the mixture of d and u) is almost the same as "gy". So now you can try it yourself and build this word as ma"du"ar.

[@dewilew2137]

Is it three syllables or two syllables? I’m finding it impossible to even imagine the pronunciation with two syllables.

[@CosetteTape]

​@@dewilew2137 massive necro lol, but it works like mah-dwar.

[@gracemcclean3940]

This vid was so fun! Luv u guys, you always make my day ❤️

[@xCorvus7x]

Luke is so tall, seeing him swing around on the horse is mesmerising.

[@HugsBach]

Very educational. The old school gymnastics equipment was very different and made things more difficult. Compared to yesteryear, modern gymnastic equipment like the horse has been made easier on the gymnasts. It made these young men appreciate the skill and strength of their predecessors. Well done!

[@tamaraandersson2532]

I smiled, I laughed, and I was genuinely impressed. Well done!

[@chloenock783]

Your videos never fail to make me laugh 🤍🤍

[@justrhe8177]

Ash’s face when he ripped his shorts had me crying 🤣😭💀

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Wow such a great job 👏 Luke was amazing on the pommel horse

[@garycaron4423]

I'm just a retiree in USA , who follows you. I hope you are doing well with your injuries.

[@lacalaca85]

Fun fact, it's named Magyar instead of Hungarian b/c it's named after gymnast Zoltán Magyar. Who was, incidentally, also a Hungarian.

[@patriciamorton1068]

I'm always so impressed by you fellas! True Olympians!

[@mitchellfurlong2510]

Amazing well done nile. Well done to ash and luke for giving it a go. Luke was very impressive. Great video Well done nile. Now where will you put it?

[@dulciemargaretcolton145]

That was brilliant guys. Made us laugh. I could never master the horse in the gym at school. Loved the ropes tho and trampoline. Can you do a vid on the trampoline

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

Nile's professional gymnast skills and his physical "build" for this apparatus made it a joy to watch him. Luke has the gift of height and arm length but is not polished as a gymnast, so while his performance was very good, he doesn't have the typical appearance of a professional gymnast. Ashley has the skills of a professional gymnast, but he needs to train more to build up his stamina and strength 💙💙💙

[@windeld7028]

I used to love one direction. I am so happy to find another lovely boy group with a nile.

[@greengonzonz]

That was surprisingly..... Awesome!!!💙💙💙

[@fiona1262]

I've no interest in gymnastics and have no idea why KZbin brought me here but I ended up weirdly invested despite not having the first clue about what they were doing. Loved the Yorkshire banter but also the great support between friends

[@AniWatX]

Skills Nile and the boys. Loved this one. X

[@MAXproductions29]

Very impressive! The muscle memory to be able to do this is amazing! Random question, what gymshark shorts is like wearing in this video?

[@ruthvandoesburg6703]

Just shown my son this... he is 12 and hates the pommel horse. We've had tears when he's scored a big fat 0 at competition and we've had (over)enthousiastic mothers when he's got a great score.... try as I might I can't get him to enjoy this piece of equipment...I thought it was because he's tall and has long legs... but Stoney just blew that theory out of the water.... so now I'm hoping laughing along with you lot will help him ready for the new season!! You're all ace!!

[@unbroken4290]

I love how Nile always looks so fluid.

[@jeanineross8457]

Luke best handstand!!!!!!! Congrats Nile

[@tullochgorum6323]

Exactly the kind of kit we had in the school gym in the 1960s. Memories...

“Use your quick wit”. Love it.

Wow, I remember using this style of equipment in the 80s at school!

[@brucecook502]

This was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@fow9c939]

this video is perfectly to see how hard strenght calistenichs skills are much harder than dynamics.

[@bingobongo0001]

you all did great but i'm especially proud of stoney in this video!

[@mazzaprowse8803]

That was the gym equipment at my school! (I was rubbish at pretty much all of it.) 1960's.

[@5142Katie]

I recognised that voice but couldn't place it until he did the commentary... he's such a legendary commentator! Fantastic video, as always guys. And well done on acquiring your new pommel, Nile! 😃

[@elebaga5795]

love you guys soooo much you´re videos are soooo fun!!! 💞💕

[@heidibaltom8138]

Luke is so tall and has such long limbs that he makes that pommel horse look SO EASY I know its not but it looks like it. And Nial that was something else. I think when he pretends and acts like its a competition that is when he succeeds

[@elizabethwilliams5686]

that is the one we had is school :) thanks for the memories

[@clairehandford6194]

Luke is unreal on that pommel, really impressive

[@sarahwhite8698]

I have no idea how the KZbin wormhole got me here but boy did I enjoy this!
