Answer: They're maneuvers in gymnastics.

Some people even specified "on the rings" but that wasn't necessary

Two people missed this: EricBess and Oversoul, so EricBess's lead is cut a bit. Everyone else got it: DarthFerret, Melkor, Mooseman, mythosx, Ransac, sageridder, TomB, and train

Scores:

EricBess: 20

TomB: 19

[EricBess]

I googled it after I had guesses, so I knew I missed it. I figured they were manuevers in something, but apparently just guessed the wrong sport Still, I'm surprized so many people knew this one...

 

[train]

Let me thank my high school gymnastics friends... Still wasn't sure about Thomas Flare though...

 

[DarthFerret]

I have to thank my wife on this one. She watches so many stupid movies with gymnastics in them, that I was able to recognize this one right off the bat.

 

[Limited]

I had no clue, but in hindsight I should've known due to the Iron Cross.

 

[Ransac]

Iron Cross made it easy. I remember doing rings in P.E. classes in middle school, and that the Iron Cross sucked.


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Melkor]

I had no idea about the other two, but like Ransac said, the Iron Cross was the give away and I was pretty sure it wasn't giving away military insignia.

 

[Oversoul]

I figured they were manuevers in something, but apparently just guessed the wrong sport Still, I'm surprized so many people knew this one...

Ditto.

 

[mythosx]

thomas flare and iron cross are both gym moves they talk about it every time its on tv.

Iron cross is a move on the still righs where the gymnist hangs on a pair of rings and extends them out so he is hanging in like a t position.

thomas flare is the move where the legs spin in a circle never touching the ground while the gymnist balances on his hands.

but what the hell is skin the cat?

 

[TomB]

I only knew about the Iron Cross, so it looks like I guessed right!
