Hi, welcome to Crenshaw Athletic Club. My name is Mark. Today, we're going to talk about boys parallel bars. Historically, it's been one of the more favorite events to watch, and the reason why is there are a lot of dramatic skills that go on in this event. Boys parallel bars incorporates almost every aspect of gymnastics that is done today. We're going to show you some very basic skills, entry level skills, and move up to some more of the difficult skills, including dismounts and flight elements. Flight elements, meaning an athlete that's going to be in a handstand, swing down through a support and go back to a handstand. Again, I truly believe that this is one of the more difficult disciplines in the sport of gymnastics, and it can be one of the more beautiful and artistic elements, or I should say event.
