Coaches Momentum and gravity in gymnastics?

[All Chalked Up]

How does momentum and gravity affect gymnastics? I've been wondering since HC asked me about it, and I think it would make a great Science Fair project.

http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/chalk-bucket/24329-gymnastics-physics.html That thread covers a lot... I know there was a video that explained gymnastics in physics terms, but I just can't find it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about could you post a link to it?

It's too late to edit my post so I'm going to have to double post... Here's the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEMeo...F0458650FEC59E (Thanks gymnast695!) It's actually really interesting.

You can sound like yoda by replying to your HC "How does momentum and gravity NOT affect gymnastics..."
