- The 3 musketeers are back baby!! Gymnastics was way cooler back in the 50's, so we set up the old school uneven Bars like they were in the 1950's and we didn't hold back 😁

When I did gymnastics in the 80's, women's bar routines were in transition. The younger kids coming up in the sport were doing skills/routines with the bars widened out as far as possible. The older girls/ladies, near the end of their careers (like me), were still doing the "fitted" routines requiring the bar width to be adjusted for each individual gymnast. My routines from that time had a variety of belly beats /belly whips in them for transitioning between the bars. Skills/routines could be EXTREMELY PAINFUL if the width between the bars was wrong. If the bars were too wide, your body couldn't bend when it was supposed to. If the bars were too close together, your belly whip happened too high on the body, and either your hip bones or lower abdomen took the brunt of the force in the swing. We used to wrap the low bar with some foam to reduce the impact if you were doing a lot of routines/skills using the belly whip. If I was changing for p.e. in high school, girls were often shocked, seeing the bruises/friction marks on my hips and lower abdomen.
I don't miss those days. NOT AT ALL! It was TORTURE!! 😖😵💫🤬
I was doing the hip whips as well (in gymnastics from 1979-1989). I found it near impossible to get the bar at just the right measurement for me - it was my varying degrees of commitment while swinging on the top bar which caused varying amounts of flex in it. This would result in me either slamming my crotch bone or my hip bones into the lower bar. Very rarely would I hit it just right between the two. The bruising was unreal. Needless to say, UE bars were my weakest event.
Yep, I did close bars too. Gotta learn everything new as n adult. And the vault table!! I was already 40 before I vaulted it the first time. It was…an experience, shall we say?! 😂😂
@@geekchick4859 - 😂😂 I can imagine.
Thanks for your heart warming encouragement! If ever we compete for 1950 we would definitely get the gold! It wont be painful or that hard!
Okay guys, first off, I was a competitive gymnast in the 70s. On the uneven parallel bars as we called it in the 70s. USA. The uneven parallel bars were different for each person. Each person moved the bars 2 their setting. Plus every bar situation was totally different. You had to make sure that the bar was just right because when you hit it you had to hit your hip "flexors" not your hip bones or your thighs or your stomach or your groin area. It had to be just in the right spot and it was like if you're a half an inch off or an inch off it hurt like hell and it was really bad! So when you hit it right and then you swing around and you popped off the bar just right. I mean you popped off the bar to do what your next move was. When you hit it right it was a fantastic feeling. You're FLYING THRU THE AIR, AGAIN! SO COOL! But when not, well it was really bad. U had 2 make sure u were ALWAYS stretching the same amount each time. Seriously, 1/2 inch either way u were destroyed! And in a LOT of pain. We had bruises all over that area all the time!! Not fun! Especially when u hit the groin/crotch area, and then had 2 repeat, and repeat...And then u had 2 do it from a hand stand on the top bar down from above, much more force.. YeYikes! Ouch!! Happened a lot back then. Anyway. Hope that puts in some prospective. Hugs guys. Luv ur content❣️🤸🤸🤸
Congratulations on the 100k!! Well deserved.🎉What a vlog, is lovely to see the 3 musketeers back together making amazing content, what a surprise for a vlog this evening.😊
I was an uneven parallel bar gymnast in the late '69s! Brought back memories!
I absolutely loved Nile on Dancing on Ice, but I'm so happy the squad are back together!
Made me respect those classic routines a lot more.
Good content with three men who aren’t afraid to have a laugh at their own expense! Enjoy you all with your excellent effort to take us back to the 50’s!
It's so good to see all the boys back together again
Oh my God, I love it. I was a competitive gymnast in the early 80s and uneven bar “belly beats” as we called them were a signature move that we did all the time.
Great video and nice way to show how difficult/dangerous some of the old skills really were.
I LOVED this! You just don't understand what the old moves involved until you see this. The Korbut backwards catch of the higher bar is still incredible.
A well deserved 200K Ash, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm feeling front hip pains at the memories you're dredging up. I was a competitive gymnast in the '80's and the eagle was a staple move.
I love Niles' commitment to always pointing his feet !!
This was awesome! I love the historical gymnastics moves and the creativity at the end! Congrats on 100k Ash, you deserve it! Now to get Luke and Jo their play buttons too. c:
I appreciate videos where y'all try vintage moves. As new athletes have innovated the sport over the decades a lot of the moves have started to look so crazy that the vintage stuff doesn't look difficult at all. It's nice having it broken down just how challenging and dangerous those moves were. It gives a better appreciation of the athleticism required for the old school style.
Brilliant. Love seeing the historical gymnastics 🙂
THey're back!!! The chemistry between you guys is irreplaceable
Wow, hello all of you! Back to seeing NILE again! So happy! One thing… I was an old gymnast, and those bars for you men were very very close together! I think you could’ve given yourself maybe a little more room! Fun, fun video!
The three of you are too funny!! The support you give each other is fantastic. Congratulations on 100K 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Luke you described the exact injury I sustained on my first Hecht!!! It hurt.
2:11 in actually crying!! We shouldn’t laugh at the failures of others but my god that was hilarious. I love you guys for bringing a smile to my face. ❤
Congrats Ash on the 100k... I'll never forget watching Olga Korbut doing aerials and that uneven bar release.
🎉congratulations on the 100k!!!! It surprises me how difficult some of the moves are for you guys. I was a gymnast in my youth (1970s) and did those moves every day. Thanks for the memories!
That's so cool. I wish I had done gymnastics earlier. In ny opinion it had been much more beautiful and looks hard but fun.
I can't believe they were even thinking about attempting a Doris Fuchs Brause! 😲 That skill was so difficult at the time judges couldn't even score it. 😰
Great to see the crew back together again.
Oh my god, I laughed way too hard when Ash crash landed straight on his front 😅🎉
Great to see the 3 musketeers together again. Congrats on your 100k, you deserve it. Common gang get behind Stoney and Joanna. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐🍾🍾🍾
I know absolutely nothing about gymnastics, but love watching you guys! All I could think of in this clip was that not only were the bars different in the 50’s, but also these routines were done by women - smaller and lighter than you guys.
Congrats on the 100k, is fully deserved, onwards and upwards, look forward to ur vlogs, nice to see content with Nile and Luke again, u 3 and Joanna make great content together.😊
Wow, guys! Amazing.
I have so much more respect for women's gymnastics from the 50s. They look less pyrotechnical than modern skills, but this is no joke. And they had to do it all with a dancer's smile...
Guys you need to adjust the gap between the bars by suspending yourself from the top bar and finding the exact point for your hips.There’s no way that Luke and Nile will need the same setting. It also helps to stick a bit of foam in the legs of your Leo!
Luke perfecting the Yul Brynner look here. Long live the 50's lady's groovy moves!!
It's so good, to have you all back together in videos! Now, let's bring this channel to 1 million subscribers!
This is my favourite thing about gymnastics - the puzzle of building skills and routines. Breaking down all the movements and practicing until it makes sense. It really shows the work that goes into being good at a sport this complicated. Please never stop sharing these kinds of videos.
So nice to she the three of you back together again!
These guys are actually improving!!
Love seeing the squad back together!
Goes to show just how strong those girls are! If these super gymnasts can’t do it. At least Nile is slightly closer the right size.
Big GG for the 100K, you are the very best! These moves were sick as always!
lol this brought a smile to my face seeing you, Luke and Nile trying these tricks. Well done all of you. And congratulations on reaching 100K subs.
Great to see you guys together. If the average person fell a couple times like you guys do, they would be hospitalized. Fun afternoon at the gym. Thanks Ash and Nile and Luke.
Congratulations for the 100K ! Happy to see all the guys together !
Congratulations Handstand Man on your 100k!!!!! Well deserved!! So happy for you!! Now on to 1mil!! 💜💜💜
I love watching you guys messing about. It reminds me of my youth, I'm surprised my friends and my brothers and I werent't the poster children for "dumb ways to die"
Ngl. I haven't danced in 3 years from covid/back injury. I pulled out mats today while bingeing y'all via TH-cam on my TV. Thanks for the inspiration! I feel like I've been so obsessed with getting into my Ph.D., my physical fitness has gotten horrible. It's freshman fifteen (lbs) but graduate school 20 😢. Nope. Not today.
Continue to do what y'all do. We need more people like y'all 🎉
You made the 100K! We all knew you would, and you totally deserve it. Way to go!
Congratulations on 💯k. Mostly click-bait free. Thanks Ash for keeping up the energy & creativity. ✌️👏🍻💚
Glad to see Nile back in the gym :) Cheers from America!
Absolutely stunning! Had to replay part of the video after Ash's reverse upward body slam to Luke🤣🤣 I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard...sorry Luke😁
🎊👏100k, Well Done!!👏🎊Love seeing the 3 musketeers' shenanigans! 😃🤸♂🏋♂🕺
The three of you are magic
CONGRATULATIONS ASH!!! 100K!! WOOHOOO!!! Big hugs and much love!!!
Congratulations on 100k Ash , fully deserved
Congratulations on the 100k Ash, you really deserve it. What a fantastic content today, it shows how difficult the effort and moves were expected years ago. The fantastic Olga Corbett, (my spelling is not so good) she was expected to come up with more and more complicated and dangerous moves. No wonder that most of these are banned now.
It's great to have the 3 musketeers back together again and well done Nile for winning the 2023 Dancing on Ice championship.
Again WOW!! for a brilliant brilliant video today/tonight as I'm watching this at 03.50 on Saturday 25th March
Hugs and stuff xxx
100k 👏👏🎉 ❤️ The vintage gymnastics, the skills & how they connect & glide.
When I was younger I needed to learn how to go from the low bar to the high bar, while the bars were so close to each other. That was in 2009-2012 I think. But we did have a special technique😅😊
Love it!❤made me laugh out loud😂You guys are amazing!
Also congrats on 100k😍👍❤😁
100k LET'S GOOOOO!!! Well deserved, love your videos and the commitment in everything you guys do!!! And of course, welcome back squad!!!
What a great time to reach 100k. The 3 Musketeers back at their very best. Thank you so much for making me smile and laugh out loud. I've already watched this twice! Oh and get well soon Ash.
Yeah, 100k subscribers! 🎉Congratulations Ashley!
Great vlog and great to see the three musketeers back together! VIdeo really made me giggle
@Ash Watson I love your channel! With no malice, I have to tell you I never get tired of watching you guys land belly flopped on the mat when you attempt challenges! Stay safe, keep ‘em coming, you rock!!
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Best one for a while. Had to get the family in to watch as I was laughing so much!!
Congratulations to 100 K Ash! WOHOOO! You deserve it, now keep going and keep being yourself! Well done! Great skills, cant believe you are so bendable hahahaha! Luke is raw muscle, and so good to! Nile, grace.. yeah.. grace! ;) And PLEASE, play the original skills in slowmo a couple of times, so the brain can understand what you are about to try. Cheers!
Congratulations on your 100k subs! So happy for you xxx great seeing the 3 musketeers back together again 🎉
Congrats on 100k! Nice to see Nile back and the 3 of all you back all together! 🎉
Congratulations on 100k!!! Your content makes me laugh every time! You deserve so many more subs!
I loved it!!! 🎉🎉🎉CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 on 100,000 subs!!!
Did anyone else thing that the 1st male headbanger on ice would hesitate at anything? Someone is going to have to reel Ash back from the dangerous stuff or Jay is going to be so mad at y'all if he gets hurt. Luke, I think you're the safest one of the bunch, so it's on you bro!
So beyond proud to be on your journey to 100K! Keep smashing it! 🎉💜💪
Great to see you three back together again. I think we should video ourselves watching you guys so you can see how much you make us laugh🤣🤣🤣and how much enjoyment your content gives us. Brilliant.
I feel like Nile has done it before, but we need to see the 3 musketeers trying aerial hoop - so many of the moves today are similar to hoop moves!
So surprised to see you do this. For some reason, we keep doing this in PE in school here in Switzerland. Is uneven bars like that even still used in gymnastics?
Love that! Very nice to see what was done in the Olympics of old 👍👍
Also, congrats on the 100K subs!! 🎉🎉🎉
100K represent! Congrats, Ash! Great vid!
Congratulations Ash! You should have hit this milestone ages ago, idk what happened hahaha you were stuck on 98 for agess
Yes those routines at the end were awesome!! It was so good seeing you 3 back together again!!!
Luke!! First time i watched this i didn’t notice your new back tat! So nice!
THE SQUADS BACK!🎉
Okay but their routines were actually so cool
I love how the guys have a go at female gymnastics even though they are pissing against the wind. Women are smaller and slimmer and the men are not, ahem. Love the way they put their all into doing it though, and they are funny. Had to sub. ❤️🇬🇧
Congratulations 🍾 🥂 🎊 👏 💐 Ashley on 100K subscribers ❤️!
🎉Congratulations on 100K🎊
Best wishes from Czechia ❤
Oh my goodness yay you hit 100k. Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾
Saw your Video with Browney and the moment you said no wipeouts that's boring ... I knew I'd enjoy your content
Ash, that routine rocked!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yay!!!!! 100k!!!!! Congratulations Ash!!! Great video! Loved seeing you three back together again. 🎉🎉🎉
I love Lukes back tattoo
Yall got me wanting to learn some of these old school moves now lol
So good omg!! 😂💪🏼 They’re all so flexible too!
AHHHHHH CONGRATS ON 100k ASH!!!!!
Congratulations on the 100k Ash!
Congrats on reaching your subscriber goal! Now is there a one-to-one correspondence with subscribers and challenge wipeouts? For some reason, animals came to mind as I watched each final performance: Luke - sloth, Nile - gibbon, Ash - chimp.
I’ve never been so scared to watch a gymnastics video in my life. Lol I hated bars my whole life because I was doing gymnastics in the 70s.
🎉congratulations on getting to you 100k subscribers 🎉awesome as always
Congratulations Ash. ⭐️🎉
Well done Ash on 100k subscribers!!!!! 🎉
