Mike Wood is a professional gymnastics coach with Crenshaw Athletic Club in Austin, TX. Crenshaw Athletic Club is home to junior olympic performers as well as the University of Texas gymnastics team.

Right now, we are going to start with [PH] Avery. Avery is a Level 6 compulsory gymnast. He's going to do the Level 6 high bar routine. Every state in the US uses the same code of compulsory routines. Now, the 2008 Olympics are coming up, so the routines are going to change. It's what we call a new quadrennium. So after the 2008 Olympics are over, we're going to introduce new routines. So, Avery is actually going to do the routine from the last quadrennium, and he does it very well and that's why we've chosen him to do that. So he's going to get up and do one right now. Avery, right now, is going to mount the bar with a chin-up pullover. [DEMONSTRATION] He's in undergrip. He's going to cast, hop, swing a half-turn to mixed grip, keep up, cast a three-quarter giant, sit up, undershoot, big back swing and a flyaway. Ultimately, he wants to try to stick that dismount.
