17 years old AMAZING skills

hey guys, take a look a this dude, he's only 17 and he won third place at the street workout super final in moscow o.O 

I bet that he was gymnast.

That move at 1:40 looks like it would be a very useful side lever progression.

He would not be allowed to compete then

Dejan Stipić, Vladimir Sadkov and Ruslan Minachov also were gymnast and they compete in sw.

well they learned a good arched planche and maltese when they were gymnasts..

Maybe they know how to do hollow planche and maltese but they dont do it becouse audiance in sw dont know the difference betwen hollow and arched so they do it in easier way.

 I believe former gymnasts can compete. I think it's just that they can't be registered with any gymnastics organizations.

With that kind of mindset, one can see why they are no longer gymnasts.

I suspect this for a few performers. Really, for them, what's the point? No one knows the difference, even if it's more aesthetic to have hollow, people are just impressed by the fact that they're doing pushups with their legs in the air!

Also the street workout scene is getting more acrobatic, soon there will be double back dismounts
