I only found your channel yesterday and I just want to say how enjoyable it is to watch you persevere and get things done. I also have to say how graceful you are when you complete each challenge. I’ve binged watched a few videos now and they are so much fun to watch. This 64 year old looks forward to watching what comes next.
I get what you’re saying but I do think that Nile, Ash, and Luke all know their bodies and their bodies limits so well as athletes that if they don’t actually think it’s safe to do something, they won’t do it.
the A bars you were actually at disadvantage because the angled one is further away even though then are both not at frg heigh so it would be slightly easier at frg height
These are my favorite type of video's that you make as well. I love it when you try things that you wouldn't think that you would be able to do and then you knock most of them out without a problem and then when you do have some trouble you always make it fun to watch. Thanks for being you.
I've been binging all of your videos. I just love you guys! Ashley, you are one of a kind, and Jay has improved so much. Niles and Stoney, you both are incredible, and you all make me laugh, and for that, I thank you.
I love these videos where you perform women's gymnastics, because it helps break that stereotype that men have an advantage over women in any sport when it's clearly just the type of skills you have to train and perfect! You are also so entertaining to watch
Love that these are you favourite to film. Love watching your love of gymnastics definitely don't want you to get hurt! Seeing you admit that something is too much or too dangerous is bravery in itself!
Merry Xmas Ash. Keep up your good content. Your solo clips are great. I did gymnastics. Never to your level buy it brings me lot's of joy seeing you and friends pulling offall these awesome routines.
It's so cool watching you work out the process of how to even start doing some of these skills. The illusion confused me for so long, I couldn't work out how the hell it happened lol. If I had had this to watch I could have worked it out waaay sooner. Great effort.
While I never actually did an illusion turn on the balance beam, it is a lot easier to do toe Turns on the balance beam when you’re actually on toe. Because you’re on the ball of your foot with stability from your toes when you’re on high tip toe, it decreases the amount of surface area, which also decreases the likelihood of a bad shift of the surface area straight off of the beam. Good luck!
Ashley you're hilarious and very inspiring and talented ❤️ your channel really entertaining always enjoy your content you have true friends in Luke and Nile.. I've subscribed to your channels. thank you for your work on bringing us content every day. Regards from Ireland ❤❤
I REALLY ENJOYED watching Ash try and SUCCEED the different skills…. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED watching him do the “ZGOBA” on the beam-he went from not being able to do it, to gradually getting BETTER, to TOTALLY 💯 NAILING IT!!! CONGRATS 🎈🍾🎉 and GREAT JOB!!! 👏 KEEP THESE ENTERTAINING VIDEOS COMING!!! ❤️❤️❤️🩹❤️🩹
I think the reason why your foot slips of in the illusion turn is because your body is not completely centred. You want to keep your hip above your standing foot.
You're hilarious, and the fails are entertaining - so are the wins, and please don't get hurt just to entertain us! Flopping onto a mat and laughing is great, or rolling out of an unexpected fall and coming up with your grumpy meerkat face is also great. Actually hurting yourself, not so much!
Can you do a "Tinsica"? Imagine a front walkover, but instead of both hands touching the floor at the same time for the handstand, you touch one hand first, then the other is placed farther forward as the walk over continues. Think of touching down as "hand, hand, foot, foot. Like a cartwheel... You land on one hand, the other hand, one foot, then the other foot. It's like a forward facing cartwheel!! Let's see you do THAT on the BEAM!!!!
In an illusion to stay on pattern you don’t open your hips to a middle split at all. Its just a right/left split. It’s considered a standard trick in baton twirling. A great reference video is the Savannah miller perfect 10 video. Would love to see you react to competitive baton twirling at some point.
I mean... if I was 20 years younger, didn't live on the opposite side of the world and didn't have adult responsibilities... I'd be giving Jay a run for her money!! 🤣 Look out Joanna! Fab job Ash... as always
One of the first things I noticed was that the braces did their job. Nice choppers! I think the Illusion is a not, unless you can improve the flexibility it's just not going to look good. On the last mount, I noticed that you went to the bar with a flat or slightly rounded back and then allowed your back bend to absorb the impact. J, fearing the impact, hollowed her back, thus she would get the full brunt of the impact without using her frame to absorb some of the force.
Tips for an Illusion, (dance teacher here), let your leg take you around, not your head. you are throwing your body around. What you need to do is let your leg bring you around instead. It is a counter balance move. so muscling it won't work. I have seen a person that doesn't have the best flexibility do one well, because of working the counter balance of it all.
I think the bars would be a bit farther apart at that height, only because they point outward from each other a bit. So they would be sent further apart as they go up…right? 🤷🏻♀️
I might be SUPER late to the game here but WHEN did you get your braces off Ash? I just noticed when you were up close talking to the camera 😊 BTW... amazing vid as usual 🫶🤘
Illusion turns suck! I did gymnastics for years ( back in the olden days - 1980s /90s) and that was one thing I couldn't get right. I drove my coach insane, because I could get most things easy, but those bloody illusion turns.. 😡🤬
The first skill that you did looks so painful! If I had tried that, or I think, if any normal human tried that we would be laying in bed for a month because our back hurt or we had broken our back lol. When you train in gymnastics or any sport for that matter from a very young age, do they teach you techniques on how to deal with the pain? How do you stand up and keep doing it over and over and over and over without showing the pain you’re going through.
Can you slow down the clips of the skills please. A little 1 second flash whilst you're explaining is too quick for us persons who arent aware of the terms and names of them.
I just love ash's personality..

I don't watch to see you get hurt. I watch for you humor and refusal to quit. Plus it's crazy the stuff you can do.
I get what you’re saying but I do think that Nile, Ash, and Luke all know their bodies and their bodies limits so well as athletes that if they don’t actually think it’s safe to do something, they won’t do it.
I watch to see the goofs and him with his shirt off
Random suggestion, but have you ever tried doing a human dog agility course? Might be fun and doable in the gym? :) xxx
Wow! I second that suggestion! That would be huge fun!
He's furry enough! 🤣
A BEAR CRAWL RACE through the dog agility course lmfaooo
Ash actually ran through a dog agility course in an older video, it was a 'can't say no' one
the A bars you were actually at disadvantage because the angled one is further away even though then are both not at frg heigh so it would be slightly easier at frg height
You have the same accent as Kay from Kay’s cooking - she’s a queen 😂 love the content, greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
5:20 way to go, Ashley!

sure enough men have an advantage in almost any sport. well, they aren't as flexible.
still what the girls are doing is absolutely insane.
Nerves of steel.Amazing
Love how excited get trying new skills.😊
Love that these are you favourite to film. Love watching your love of gymnastics definitely don't want you to get hurt! Seeing you admit that something is too much or too dangerous is bravery in itself!
Amazing as always! Great job!
Merry Xmas Ash. Keep up your good content. Your solo clips are great. I did gymnastics. Never to your level buy it brings me lot's of joy seeing you and friends pulling offall these awesome routines.
Ash you never fail at trying! You make my day with these vlogs!
thank you, I am loving seeing you every day!
Thanks for the video!
This is the only thing I need this Christmas season! Love it!
It's so cool watching you work out the process of how to even start doing some of these skills. The illusion confused me for so long, I couldn't work out how the hell it happened lol. If I had had this to watch I could have worked it out waaay sooner. Great effort.
Your face plants are priceless! Please don't get hurt. Happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year!
I just absolutely adore your lack of fear! More please!!
Love you too Ash! Your Spirit Shines like None other! Happy New Year to you and your whole tribe!
u put so much effort into ur content, loving the vlogmas content.😊
Ash is awesome!! Keep being you!

I love how game he is, always willing to try a new skill. I'd break something if I attempted any of these moves 🤣
I REALLY ENJOYED watching Ash try and SUCCEED the different skills…. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED watching him do the “ZGOBA” on the beam-he went from not being able to do it, to gradually getting BETTER, to TOTALLY 💯 NAILING IT!!!
CONGRATS 🎈🍾🎉 and GREAT JOB!!! 👏
KEEP THESE ENTERTAINING VIDEOS COMING!!! ❤️❤️❤️🩹❤️🩹
I love these videos! Well done
love watching you attempting these skills ash ur sum boy lol but hey keep them going theyre well entertaining
Took me an entire week to realise you'd been posting a new video every day. No thoughts here only watch video
I think the reason why your foot slips of in the illusion turn is because your body is not completely centred. You want to keep your hip above your standing foot.
Ashley Watson, you are a delight!!
Ash, I bet you give the best hugs. You're just adorable.
You're hilarious, and the fails are entertaining - so are the wins, and please don't get hurt just to entertain us! Flopping onto a mat and laughing is great, or rolling out of an unexpected fall and coming up with your grumpy meerkat face is also great. Actually hurting yourself, not so much!
Most Gymnast start Training at the age of five or seven which, is why the movements flow & look easier then done! Good Try & Very Funny! 👍 Love it ❤️

Impressed by how you do so well ❤😊
Happy Christmas Ashley and hope 2024 is a great year for you and your family..❤❤
I love watching your videos
I love you man. I love your videos absolutely amazing ❤
This dude is a riot!
Ten out of ten for perseverance Ash...........
Its not actually the same distance between the two bars if they're lower. Didn't account for the angle.But did it anyway lol
In an illusion to stay on pattern you don’t open your hips to a middle split at all. Its just a right/left split. It’s considered a standard trick in baton twirling. A great reference video is the Savannah miller perfect 10 video. Would love to see you react to competitive baton twirling at some point.
That thumbnail is gold !!! LOLLLL
That first mount onto the balance beam sure looks like a great way to break your tailbone.
Your fantastic ash love you ❤❤❤❤❤
You should try the Yurchenko Loop !
I mean... if I was 20 years younger, didn't live on the opposite side of the world and didn't have adult responsibilities... I'd be giving Jay a run for her money!! 🤣 Look out Joanna!
Fab job Ash... as always
You Luke and Nile should try to attempt to do a women's gymnastics beam routine 😂
ash literally did this 2 days ago
They’ve done stuff similar
One of the first things I noticed was that the braces did their job. Nice choppers! I think the Illusion is a not, unless you can improve the flexibility it's just not going to look good. On the last mount, I noticed that you went to the bar with a flat or slightly rounded back and then allowed your back bend to absorb the impact. J, fearing the impact, hollowed her back, thus she would get the full brunt of the impact without using her frame to absorb some of the force.
Any plans to get dowel grips for A-bars?
Who does the first skill on beam?
“Two to make it true.” cackles 😂
LOVED IT! You knos that when you and J get married we all need to be invited…. Especially those of us subscribed to you, J, Luke and Mr. Wilsom ❤🎉😅
Tips for an Illusion, (dance teacher here), let your leg take you around, not your head. you are throwing your body around. What you need to do is let your leg bring you around instead. It is a counter balance move. so muscling it won't work. I have seen a person that doesn't have the best flexibility do one well, because of working the counter balance of it all.
This would be a perfect mount to get into position for your wolf spin if you decided to do another beam routine in the future
It’s always amusing that the skills you think will be easy are hard, and the skills you think will be hard/painful are easy 😆
Go ash❤
OMG Ash u pwned ❤
I think the bars would be a bit farther apart at that height, only because they point outward from each other a bit. So they would be sent further apart as they go up…right? 🤷🏻♀️
I might be SUPER late to the game here but WHEN did you get your braces off Ash? I just noticed when you were up close talking to the camera 😊
BTW... amazing vid as usual 🫶🤘
You and the squad should try Anna mcnulty or sofie dossi contortion skills
Illusion turns suck! I did gymnastics for years ( back in the olden days - 1980s /90s) and that was one thing I couldn't get right. I drove my coach insane, because I could get most things easy, but those bloody illusion turns.. 😡🤬
You Luke and Nile should see who can do the most press handstands on floor without coming down again like in a row
Standing back tuck on high beam next?
Freaking amazing
The first skill that you did looks so painful! If I had tried that, or I think, if any normal human tried that we would be laying in bed for a month because our back hurt or we had broken our back lol.

“Two inches can go a long way” 😂😂😂
The thumb nail 🤤
😀
I hope you have insurance 😂😂. You are mad, but inspiring at the same time
I dont know about anyone else but I am really hoping that Jay get a Christmas engagement ring this year.
Why?
Hi😊
I love gymnastics I think its great watching a man trying to do it. But what happened to ur other 2 friends
Can you slow down the clips of the skills please. A little 1 second flash whilst you're explaining is too quick for us persons who arent aware of the terms and names of them.
(Have you tried adjusting the playback speed? 😬 )
I concur - I’d love to see more clearly without having to stop and start the video.
here for the two inches
There are humans, animals and than yea there are Watsons...
haha, you are doing great. but honestly, i prefer for some reason watching girls doing these routines.
Ash, you’re such a cutie
