hi, i'm whitney and i'm blakely and welcome to kitchen gymnastics today, we will be making grips and salsa with sombreros and maracas, let's get started today i am going to be talking about gymnastics grips and showing you how to make salsa grips are an important peice of equipment for gymnastics and uneven bars i will be showing you how to put the them on while i tell you a little bit about them usually gymnasts get grips when they're about level four gymnastics atmy old gym i wasn't able to get grips until i was able to show that i was ableto do my kip these are my brand new grips i've only worn them a couple timesonly one of a couple times and blakely
will be wearing the grips that icurrently use grips are you where groups to help get a better grip on the bar andto prevent your hands from getting what's called a rip and rips are verypainful had one before that one but as you can tell it doesn't prevent itcompletely anyway continue putting them on so i have something called a bucklegrip a double buckle grips and my very first pair of grips they were onlysingle buckle because i wanted that because i wasn't that serious in gymnastics yet but some gymnast has somethingcalled velcro grips and those aren't where you buckle them but you just wrapthem around and velcro i've never
worn velcro grips before but yeah sohere i am putting them on kinda like you would put on a sandal with buckles and here are my grips this is the dowel it just bends it kinda of ifyou're wondering what that thing is and i got my grips from online from riesport and they're swiss made so yeah nowthese are the grips that i usecurrently in gymnastics i needed new ones because these are like half the sizeof my new one so i need new ones but you put them on with the two kind of middlefingers your middle finger and your ring finger and this
ok then you put it on you put it throughhere tighten it you want to make sure that your grips are very tight becauseif they aren't it could be very dangerous because if they get undone then yourgrip fall off you could lose your grip on the bar and fall [music] now we're ready to make salsa todaywe'll be making fresh tomato salsa here are my ingredients half of a red onion 3tomatoes 2 jalapenos and one chili pepper the juice of 1 lime a half cup ofchopped cilantro and oregeno and cumen
oh yeah i forgot the most importantthing about grips is that you don't get salsa on them then and the mostimportant thing about salsa is and you need to wash your hands before you prepare food first we gotta chop up half a red onion i can't see anything for some reason i feel so sad i can't...oh this hurts ok blakely, time for the tomatoes
okay, move over sis this is a trick that my daddy taught me ta da oh my gosh do again ah, i don't want to, this one i am going to do the old fashion way blakely you have to saw blakely do you think a tomato is a fruitor vegetable fruit i think it's a fruit too because it has seeds and it's juicyand it looks like a fruit and it grows
off of the plant but vegetables yeah but vegetables do too and it growsout of the ground i don't know but tell us what you think, is the tomato a fruit or vegetable bigger scoops, you want bigger scoops they are very juicy now for the peppers that's crunchy wow alright now we get to chop it up
i'll chop the small one first jalapeno oh i bit my lip hello? and is this spicy? i'm drooling woo you want to try one yeah i'm gonna try this one try a piece
i'll save that piece for you that's bigger than yours try it don't spit it out though oh my gosh i need water water makes it worse it goes away oh my gosh, voila, it looks beautiful it looks like a food rainbow oh i just stepped on a tomato whoa, you have to chop it in half be careful your thumb that's the hard part
i'll do this part alright now take the seeds out over here blakely don't aahhh we think that's enough chili pepper fromthis recipe we're gonna throw the rest in the sink now for the limes okay now do this or not
it's hard i'm getting some squeeze it, try it with your fingers it's raining lemons it's not a lemon you have to squeeze it all out blakely okay we're both going to wash our hands and i am going to chop up the cilantro is that fun? no it's boring
it looks fun it's just called for half a cup so i'mjust going to put two handfuls ooh it's pretty one two all righty now it's time to season it andask for a pinch of cumin and a dash of oregeno oops you can just pick up some, there was nospices wasted in the recording of this video ok, don't forget the salt
wait i didn't put the cumin in yet okay, that's enough now we are going to mix it blakely salsa sorry my armpit just went in your face now it's time to get our grips and some chips and try it out now that we're done it's time to test our creation wearinggrips, chips, and salsa
mmm, it's really good singing sombrero now we're going to give you ademonstration of how grips work so once you put them on you there's something called the chalkbucket and it has a whole bunch of lots of chalk and like powdered chalk but wedon't have that here it also has a squirty bottle so youhave grips on you squirt your grips with the bottle of water and then you put itback on top of it and get chalk
so let's pretend we're doing it so we have our chalkon and we go to the bar and you put so the dowel should be like that shouldlike fold around the dowel and then you grab the bar so the dowel folds there and you grab it and yeah so we'll go ahead and show you some bars ok i can do it it's fine i was a little scared one more time
that was even worse dismount okay [applause] i'll do a pretend kip if i even can oh i can't do that the bar will move i don't know what to do i'm too heavy to do anything
i'll do a really bad back hip circle i don't want to lift up the bar off the ground now the dismount thanks for watching kitchen gymnastics i hope you liked our grips and salsa thanks for watching adios amigos
