New Ring Skill Named Element - The Eng

To the average person he makes this look easy but If you have ever tried to just do a ring support that is challenging on it's own. This guys is unbelievably strong, I couldn't even imagine how much strength this would require. 

Way cool

Ridiculous

superhuman strength

It's really nice to see one of my students showing progress

Okay. That just seems like an inverted cross that transitions into a rings handstand.

Lol, nonplussed? Guys hold his beer, he's got this haha

Doesn't he have to compete it successfully at a World Cup or higher level championship to have it named after him?

I saw Heath doing these for reps on his ring strength sets in Arizona 2012 seminar. Straight arm hspu? Mindblowing regardless

Correct.  

He may be the first to have done this, although almost certainly there are several top ringmen in the world capable of this, but unless he competes it at either Worlds or Olympics it will not be named after him.

I do not drink alcohol. See Coach Sommer's post quoted below as to why I am not at awe. At my current strength level I would not try it either.

Going off of more research this "New" skill is just the "E" skill Balandin2 (Butterfly pull to inverted cross) followed with the "D" level skill (press from inverted cross to handstand)
See page 91 for the press to handstand from inverted cross and page 93 for the Balandin2 of the MAG code of points.

Not to take away anything from this guy as he is obviously very strong, but he has to fix his bent arms in the butterfly section of the move otherwise he will get deductions.

You know there is saying. The masses(aka: sheeple) are easy to manipulate because they do not like to think. There is another saying if you point one finger at someone you will have three fingers pointing back at yourself.  Can you handle a different personality type other than your own?

Yes, I can handle a serious person if that's what you mean.

Somebody can't take a joke .
