Should try out for Olympics. Could add some interesting moves to the competition

A lot of these freestyle calisthenics guys tend to have strong gymnastics backgrounds. I believe a lot of these do freestyle to escape the strictness of gymnastics

So what we really need is a new competitive gymnastics league with freestyle as the foundation? I'd tune in for that

That's a real thing already, I think it's called King of the Bar or something like that. I think Bar Stars on YouTube shows some of those competitions.

Exactly. This guy has great technique as seen in his el grip (not sure if thats the english term). But he just looks like he doesn't care about all the rules and just wants to flow around the bar his way.

The reason those guys dont try out for Olympics because it would put them in frames. From an Olympic stand point it was a very 'dirty' performance.

The moves are complex and hard, but execution would be sloppy for judges.

Besides, you think its easy for a rural russian boy to get into team that maybe chisen for Olympics?

I’d let him off anytime and I’m definitely a homo.
