Jake NEW Pommel Record - 120 Circles! by bluetreefrog22

When I first watched this video all I could say was “Wow!”. The gymnast is 9 year old Jake who I introduced in a previous post. I admire his skill and stamina. The video is a cool record of Jake’s achievement.

To compete competitively in gymnastics Jake has to have strength and flexibility. He has to know good and safe ways to exercise to build those qualities.

This is a cool exercise video that kids and adults will enjoy. Jake explains things well and gives good demonstrations.

One of the reasons I like the video is that it does many things right:

• It is interesting
• People can relate to the topic
• The video is clear
• The host is knowledgeable
• The host is enjoying himself.

Jake and Tobie Crazy trampolining

In this video Jake and his younger brother Tobie show off their trampoline skills. It’s fun watching them do some cool moves.

Tobie goes hula hooping crazy!! by bluetreefrog22

This is a cute video. Young Tobie smiles, sings, and hula hoops his way into our hearts and finishes in style.

I smile whenever I see this one. I thinks it’s a great example of getting a kid to do something they like for the camera. The happier the child is with the activity the likelier we will respond positively to a video. Furthermore, an involved and happy kid is less likely to get in mom and dad’s way… for a while. :)

Bluetreefrog22 is the YouTube channel for three young kids from the UK. Jess, Jake and Tobie are avid gymnasts and many of their videos involve that sport. They also have other types of videos on their site.

The video above gave me the idea for a series about kids vids. I liked the fact that it was clear and interesting. Furthermore, Jake and Tobie have fun while showing off their hobbies.

I think the video is one that family and friends would enjoy seeing. It also works as a memory or keepsake video to look back on in the future.

Tobie and Jess sing The Climb

Videos of kids singing are cool if the kids can carry a tune and remember the words. :) In this vid Tobie and Jess do a pretty good job of singing a Miley Cyrus song.
