Thanks for posting links to some of the BIG releases. Good work. I'd love to get video sources for the same clips that are easier to watch. The YouTube flash format is just too mucky. Any suggestions? Rick McCharles editor GymnasticsCoaching.com

you do know a lot of releases!!!!!!

here's another release move, piked Tkatchev from a split-toe-on: Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs new release [youtube]Y4Kuu2fgMfw&mode=related&search=[/youtube] there's animations here: http://drillsandskills.com/skills/ubar/ But they're not video, but animations. divshare and yousendit are pretty much the same quality as youtube: for example: http://www.divshare.com/download/506420-8fc youtube has a lot more features too than those other webs.

this one is an interesting combo, front giants to straddle back: Gymnastics [youtube]1gHhvC7gMwA&NR=1[/youtube]

If anyone has video they would like to upload to the internet, we could put them on Gym Chat and try to keep them at a higher quality.

Here's Shavahn Church's release move, toe-on piked Tkatchev: 2006 Commonwealth Games AA- Shavahn Church- UB [youtube]AYvYJK9Y8pk&mode=related&search=[/youtube] Shavahn Church - 2005 World Championships AB [youtube]QOqHCtUwOBY[/youtube] pak salto and overshoot and toe shoot are fun too!

Korbut Salto is an interesting release move: Olga Korbut, 1972 Uneven Bars !!!! [youtube]yOOmFgBAdIA&mode=related&search=[/youtube] squat on then back flip from the high bar, to catch the high bar again she's 17 in the clip, they call her a little girl

Comaneci release move youtube video: Nadia Comaneci, Montr
